Spirit Medicine and Tarot Experience
Spirit Medicine and Tarot
Experience
During
a Tarot class our instructor suggested that we
were to pick a Tarot card that reminded us of the Goddess we had been
working with. We
had shuffled our deck, using only Major
Arcana
cards; 0-21. I work with the Motherpeace deck by Karen Vogel and
Vicki Noble. I
shuffled and received the World card, number 21. The description of
this card is as follows: 'All the universe is a dance of energies;
Maya-Shakti, a movement of creative forces in us and through us. The
World card signifies that he personality is no longer blinded and
confused by identification with what is not real. True liberation and
freedom are felt within the individual and the group.'
The
Goddess
of the Major Arcana card the World,
is
Isis.
In ancient Egyptian spirituality, Isis was the Queen of Heaven and
Earth. She was the Goddess of all Goddesses. She was the All and She
had thousands of names. The group was then instructed to choose a
card from the court cards of the deck that to us, represented the
Goddess of the Major Arcana card that we had picked. I
chose the Queen of Wands to
represent Isis.
The
Queen of Wand represents 'a channel; a magician who contains and
disperses energy.'
This
card would signify our
personal inner
teacher at the time, which
we would take a type of Shamanic journey with. We
began a breathing meditation and were instructed to imagine entering
a cave keeping
the image of our inner teacher in mind.
The
energy of my
inner teacher, the
Queen of Wands was
powerful, peaceful, and present. She
sat directly in front of me and reached out to touch my heart.
I
immediately saw an image of what looked like an off-kilter, lined
graphic. Two slanted
horizontal lines,
with
two over lapping, vertically. Other
symbols
that came to me were a blue bird with an orange chest. I gave this
bird a seed to plant. Once
planted, it turned
into an
image
of a pink
flower. After
seeing these images I felt as if I dozed off for a bit. When
I awoke there was a snake looking at me with fangs bared. I did feel
some fear although this
feeling quickly dispersed.
I asked the snake to share it's power. The snake answered, "Yes,
but I will have to bite you in your heart." I agreed and it was
done. I heard, "Now you have snake power/medicine."
I find it interesting to see how all the symbols relate to one
another, including the descriptions of the Tarot cards that were
chosen and how they inter-relate. Isis is the Goddess of all
Goddesses and the Snake as a symbol of animal spirit medicines is the
medicine of medicine itself.
These
are similarities. The
snake symbolizes transformation; transmutation. The
Bluebird with it's orange-red chest, is a symbol of a rite
of passage. A time of
movement into another level of being. It is also about
transformation, especially as a girl into a woman, a
child into an adult.
Awakening the inner
child; joyful expression. Perhaps
the inner child/teacher is most profound in it's simplicity and
innocence.
