This week’s Minoan Tarot cards. This deck is my creation, made the old-fashioned way (ink on paper) and available at bookstores everywhere. Ten of Daggers: You’ve taken on more than you can handle and overextended yourself, either voluntarily or because you felt pressured into doing so. This card can also mean you’re feeling oppressed by success. It’s not turning out to be as pleasurable as you expected, and you no longer feel fulfilled in spite of attaining great goals. Regardless of how this responsibility entered your life, it’s stifling the creative and imaginative aspects of yourself that this suit embodies. You have to remove some of the weight before you’ll be free to open up and create again. The Emperor: This card represents the masculine force within Nature and within each person, regardless of physical sex or gender. It can be envisioned as the God Within. This includes a sense of authority and leadership, self-control, independence, and a strong sense of self-identity. The Emperor reminds you of your ability to focus, concentrate, and bring plans to fruition through self-discipline and determination. This involves the skills of organization, being systematic, fitting the bits of life into compartments and labels, and focusing on linear processes. This card speaks to your inner sense of order and control, your ability to lead and direct yourself as well as others. This is a positive aspect of order and control and its mindful use in appropriate situations in life. For those who are new to these card draws, each week I pull one card from the top of the deck and a second card from the bottom. The top-of-the-deck card (the first one, on the left) gives us some helpful hints about how to navigate our week. The bottom-of-the-deck card (the second one, on the right) is the “secret treasure” that can help us find joy in these Interesting Times. https://www.minoantarot.com/ #Minoan #Tarot #MinoanTarot #pagan
