(preface:
The below is a reading from a Ta'rot card. Rather than steeped in an air of smoke and mirrors, these cards are designed to be used as a means with which to investigate symbolism in one's day-to-day life. We do this because, if we so choose, metaphor can add multi-dimensionality and depth to our sometimes seemingly chaotic and/or "on auto-pilot" lives. One is free to pick and choose what resonates within the reading, or to "toss out" what does not.)
The Queen of Wands, or Fire Breather
The sister is the Queen of Wands and she IS fire.
Along time ago, she took it from the Lightning and brought it back to the tribe.
Some feared it. Some got burned. And, some saw the magic.
The Queen embodied it.
She saw her fears and crawled into them like a snake.
She then slithered into the future. She sparked villages into nations.
Now, she sparks nations into new consciousness of the Cosmic Tribe.
She dances the Hindu deity Kali's dance of creation and destruction
and reminds us that all creations destroy the equilibrium preceding them.
Our first reaction is to fear her.
What we fear as destruction is merely the attachment to one aspect of the creative process.
Life consumes life
and burns as energy.
Likewise, our creative expression requires the transformation - of objects or ideas -
one form destroyed to create another form.
We often fear the transformative power of fire and snakes.
And, yet, this gift is one of intense personal and global power.
We have used it to transform the globe and we will use it to transform the universe.
She dances the Kali dance on a striped snake. It is the symbol of the awakening
that happens in the body when the snake uncoils and climbs up the spine to transform
experience into pure Spirit. A coiled red snake behind her, timeless and ancient in appearance,
reminds us that even the powerful Queen herself is fuel for the bigger transformation in
consciousness that will make all beings on the planet one cosmic tribe.
Out of her yoni, a snake of eyes spirals toward infinity, watching us wake up from our
long sleep.
The Queen of Wands dances with snakes spiraling around and in her.
The spiral is the unending vortex of creation and destruction that expands into infinity and
contracts into nothingness, over and over, backward and forward.
Human culture expands as nature contracts.
We have harnessed the fire of the Gods and Goddesses and all around us
possibility crackles
then vanishes into puffs of smoke.
The Queen of Wands dances on a field of flowers with burning centers.
What will we do with her power?
How do you play the role of creator and destroyer?
The Queen is that person WITHIN YOU igniting new projects and burning holes in
worn-out belief systems.
POWER~!
How do you feel it?
FIRE~!
WHERE DO YOU BURN to make YOUR mark?
What are you evolving into?
The Queen of Wands is a spiritual revolutionary.
Keep her gift of FIRE alive in YOUR SOUL.
Blaze new trails!
BURN YOUR FEARS AS FUEL!!!!!
Blast off into the future.
YOU create by destroying the past.
NOW is the moment!
GET MOVING!!!
The trick in playing with fire is to not get burned.
Do this by consuming the POWER before it consumes you.
