“The Child of Water sits at the tideline, where the water meets the shore. As the tide flows and ebbs, treasures are uncovered then covered up once more. The water’s edge is a place of fascination and magic for children and adults alike. The Child’s attention is caught by a bright orange sea star and she watches to see if it will move. Nearby, a hermit crab scuttles by, carrying its house on its back. All around her, rocks and shells are strewn like jewels and sunlight sparkles on the water. Behind her, Mama Ocean rises and falls, ebbs and flows, and the sound of her ripples and waves are a lullabye of the heart.” ~Joanna
Hmmm. Well then. I have tried to post this one here for a while now, and the last one was lost due to mozzilla overload, so hopefully this reaches your eyes.
It is done. The insurance list is done. And we’ve the new apartment. Of course, rent is a bit high for what we’re getting, but it is cozy. There is a little bird’s nest outside our window, aperch a winter snowed branch. There is a winter cottage shack just over the small streamed valley, and there are mountains in the distance. During the gloaming it can be quite beautiful. The walls are all white thus far, and there is a mountain of boxes in the dining room, but that is just fine.
I just slept for 15 hours, so I feel a bit rejuvenated. Last night around 2am when we woke up from our 8 hour nap (yes I don’t know what happened but it felt good) I did my 2009 Tarot spread. What other perfect time could you think of? haha. This is supposed to be my year for Strength, by the Tarot math I did earlier this week. I looks like I will need that strength to get through the coming year. I see alot of changes, especially with the Death Card and all of the Aces. I asked the universe to help guide my focus for the New Moons of the year and to also correspond them with my favourite deck, the Gaian Tarot. Here is the spread to the best of my memory and replacement of the cards. There were only a few cards that were out of order, that got moved during the night, those troublesome home faeries! hehehe. Blessed be!
To start, I think I will begin my rendition of my first New Moon card, which will have importance on the 26th of this month. The Princess of Hearts, like all the other hearts, cups, etc. are water forces. The Princess, page, or Child in the Gaian Tarot, are all beginners and they show us something to learn. They bring us a message of some sort, possibly rght down to the physical in ways of something from nature. The Princess of Hearts, correlates to the Child of Water, see above for the beautiful graphic by Joanna. The Child of Water plays in a stream, showing us the curiosity that we all possess in our younger years. It shows us to look amongst the stream stones for that golden starfish. Keep your eyes open because the message is right there in front of you. To be more specific and talking now of the Hearts aspect, I can expect a message of love to arrive. From family, friends, lovers. Now the message could be good or ill, but it is still a message. Perhaps the way I asked the universe, the Universe itself will show me a message about my love life, or about my family, and perhaps an answer. This is what I will have to go out to the brook for, to search for that golden starfish amongst the frozen ice and stream smooth rocks.
