I have been contemplating often and recently about my path and about things that I have to face, discard, settle and unify within me and in my life. Shadow work has come up quite frequently. Given all this, and the fact that I don’t adhere to one specific pagan tradition, I have been mostly growing in this organically and as a solitary pagan, I have made a list of things that I strongly believe in and that are part of my belief system. Plus, I have consciously pledged myself to my path and my Deity, now I need to conjure up a ritual to symbolize this actively conscious act. In honor of this, I share my daily draw which covered my intent and how to undertake this journey.
Wands have been recurring. I feel this is a very powerful hand. Reversed Devil, and the Seven of Wands. What I see it that, firstly, my intent is to break bonds, destroy corroded ties, face my shadows. My intent is powerful and I am well aware of the work I have cut out for me. Now, how I should embark on this journey is the most powerful of all, the card is headed forward, plowing onward. The man sits atop a cliff, holding a staff, determined and ready, virile, energetic, as if being attacked by 6 staves. This is a card of success and positive foreboding, as the man stands well high above the attacking staves, clearly at the advantage. This hand definitely cements my inner goal, intent and idea.
Blessings.
