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:
The Fool
Affirmation:
I accept each new journey in my life for what it is.
Reflection + Application
The Fool is symbolic of the courage it takes to embark on a new journey and explore the unknown.
Sometimes we choose to start over and sometimes we are forced to start over; Either way, stepping into a space for the first time (honestly, probably the first few times) comes with its share of uncertainty; We may be certain of the what but not the how, or we may be certain of the how but not the when. What we can be certain of is that successfully living life looks like having the courage to intentionally explore and experience the fuck out of whatever space we find ourselves floating in. What I love most about this exploratory and experimental period is that it is just a phase - a part in the process.
When we begin a new journey, remembering these principles can make the journey more gratifying and liberating.
Prepare to blossom. At every stage of a journey there is an opportunity to grow and develop; If we can hold on to that inner knowing from the beginning, it makes the journey something we can look forward to because we know wisdom lies ahead for us.
Be courageous and have faith. To be courageous and have faith doesn’t mean that we are never frightened or nervous. However, it does mean that we do not let those feelings get in the way of our path. We become friends with fear and learn how to quiet it with faith and love and truth.
Enjoy the journey. Again, no matter if by choice or force, once we have started the journey we might as well find pleasurable aspects on it and if there are none to be found, we must create them.
