We are all living life with different struggles. We are all navigating life, and though we travel our own paths, we encounter the same themes and realities under different circumstances. A tarot deck is representative of the spectrum of the human experience. Each card in tarot has a traditional meaning and each deck the creator’s interpretation of that meaning. Kaila Wilde uses her knowledge and interpretation of the tarot as a personal growth tool and to create an affirmative statement + note to keep us lifted and to remind us that we are not alone.
Each week, take what you need. Leave what you don’t.
Card:
King of Wands
Affirmation:
A creative genius or leader is within me.
Reflection:
We are not running from work. We are running from work we are not passionate about.
Being fully tapped into our passions and creating at an elevated level is represented in the King of Wands. Our passions are the things in life that we have a strong enthusiasm or love for. For example, learning, sharing knowledge, and emotionally and spiritually growing are a few of mine. One of the first steps to fully tapping into our passions is knowing or discovering what it is we are passionate about. Being aware of our passions can provide us with purpose, inspiration, and direction. The fact is we all possess passions inside of us. Some people are innately aware of what theirs are and others have to do a little digging to uncover theirs; Either way, we have to know that being aware of our passions is one step. Finding ways to express and share them is another step and the final step takes place when we are actually expressing and sharing them.
When we are fully tapped into our passions it allows us to create at an elevated level. We all possess the power to create. Sometimes we lose (or never had) sight of this truth, but that doesn’t make it false. I have learned that typically we will commit the time, use the energy, and display the discipline when we are passionate about what it is we are creating. Grasping that concept is important because creating takes time, creating takes energy, and creating takes discipline. Clarity about our passions is the gateway to unleashing the creative genius or leader within us.
Application:
If you’re tapped into your passions, stay the course and continue to make choices that grow you. On the other hand, if you need an awakening or reawakening, find a way to start incorporating your interests and joys into your life on a regular basis
