This short and sweet Solstice reading gives us some points to ponder. Valuable lessons have brought us wisdom and growth. What are we now ready to acknowledge and release? What gifts are we being mantled with now? This creative energy will help us to evolve into our new selves. How can we shine this light forward?
Card 1: What are We Releasing? XIV Neviah ‘Alchemy’
Alchemy is the art of transmuting something from one state of being to another. This meditation offers us the opportunity to repurpose the wreckage of this last year. By liberating past wounds and traumas, we engage in profound healing. Identify a few of these. Then throw them into the spiritual trash compactor. Goodbye. I release you. I don’t need to hold on to you any longer. There is no shame in having made mistakes. We are emerging as more compassionate and wiser beings. This card is about shifting into a new and more expansive future.
Card 2: What Gifts are We Receiving? Eight of Fire ‘Activation’
