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:
Six of Swords
Affirmation:
My best days are ahead of me.
Reflection:
We must move boldly in the direction of our faith. We must move boldly towards our future and whatever it is we are stepping into.
The Six of Swords can represent the energy of “our best days are ahead of us”. We are reminded of two important concepts here: the promise in keeping faith and the promise in a beautiful future. The future is a time of progression versus regression. As we advance forward, there are many transitions that take place. Some of these transitions we are prepared for, there are others that we are not prepared for, and then there are those that we cannot prepare for. What we can always do though is move forward and take the next step knowing that whichever God source we believe in and depend on will guide, protect, and sustain us. We can be secure in our futures in the sense that each moment is passing us as we live it; So even if we can never surely know what lies ahead - we do know that some thing lies ahead. Our faith in God and our faith in self must get to a place where it is the most reassuring thing that we need pertaining to our thoughts and beliefs of the future.
We cannot run from the future or what lies ahead because it is happening regardless. We might as well make necessary adjustments and move towards the future with trust and confidence versus doubt and resistance. We have to be willing to go to new levels and new realms because our futures will require us to do so. Optimism and certainty in the future is found in our faith, and our faith is deepened as we strengthen our relationship and connection to God and self.
Application:
Spend time and stay connected to your God source. Whichever of these maintain and sustain your connection - do so intentionally and as often as necessary to stay connected.
Prayer/Talk to God (solo and with others)
Meditate
Write letters
Read spirit-feeding text
Listen to music that feeds the spirit
Listen to spirit-feeding sermons and podcast

*do whatever deepens your connection*
