Less than an hour after I read it, the words were exactly what I needed to soothe my daughter and reinforce her strength to go forward. Like so many moms of young toddlers, she's battling with extra pounds and desperately upset by what seems to be a losing battle. she said "I'm so afraid to tell A..., that I'm trying a new diet, because he'll just say, 'Yup, just like all the other ones...how long is this one going to last? Til breakfast tomorrow'?"<br />Your words jumped out of my mouth and I said, Courage isn't about never failing, it's about the strength that makes us move forward in spite of our failures. It's the quiet voice that says "I will try again tomorrow."<br />Thanks GinnyLinda Prenticenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-5550412222293018592009-03-17T15:27:00.000-04:002009-03-17T15:27:00.000-04:00I actually plan on getting a 3 ring binder since I...I actually plan on getting a 3 ring binder since I'm picking up so much info since I started at the end of January. And i keep having to add info! XD There's so many ways to read the cards, like by the L.W.B., intuitive, literally by the picture! I got the hanged man for Spirit in a reading and couldn't figure out what the heck it meant until it I realized it was being literal!

I love to continuously learn new things and writing about the cards is one way to do that. I highly recommend keeping a tarot journal as a way to flesh out your thoughts and discoveries about each card.

So it does take some consideration on one's part to assess the challenge and decide what the best approach to tackling that lion may be. Certainly the gentle approach may be warranted in some cases, but I have found that it takes at least a little gumption to take the challenge on in the first place, no matter how one chooses to handle it.<BR/><BR/>I dunno...the old cards are violent. The oldest known deck doesn't even have an original Strength card, but its replacement shows a young man clubbing the lion. The idea of a woman just...la la la...taming a lion with some uber woo woo power of peace, love, and lilies is not present in the older cards. We've defanged the lion and thereby given lip service to Strength. Is it possible we have no need for real courage anymore? Or maybe the idea of needing it frightens us so? Surely, if we need it then we are presented with a very threatening situation and we just don't like to think about that.<BR/><BR/>And true enough, our hardest battles are often fought with ourselves, but life does throw some serious external challenges our way. Those of us lucky enough to have been spared war on our land, famine, disasters may not understand. I think removing the lion's threat also removes the courage to face that threat. Then what is Strength for?<BR/><BR/>So all that to say, yeah, good thoughts, Pablo.

I have found inordinate or excessive behaviours as signs of the opposing emotions , i.e. roaring may conceal fear or pain. Whenever I behave rashly I am feeling fearful, afraid of not acting adequately or unsure of myself. Perhaps the woman is checking just that : what is really happening beneath all the bravado. Does the lion have a sore tooth ? Is he feeling unlionly ? Polarisations often disguise their opposite, both to the others and to one´s own self . The way to overcome an extreme behaviour may lie in dismantling the scenario that is put on. <BR/>I loved what you say about warning of an impending challenge/ difficult situation ... I had not thought of it that way , but, honestly, the world is not always full of loving and compassionate persons or situations like the Robin Wood card describes, starting often with our own selves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
