Card 14 and Card 20

These two cards, card 14 and Card 20, (see below) go together in a way. I created them months apart, but ‘read’ then on the same day. Card 14, the Garden of Hunting Sorrows, is about some of the issues from my past that I continue to carry with me, although until recently I didn’t really know it.

The words for card 20, the second Chakra came shortly after ‘read’ Card 14. I was meditating and I saw this card in my mind and the words of Strength flowed forth, I gave up meditating a started to write.

The Second Chakra is the Sacral Chakra. It is an energy center located between the pelvis and bellybutton. It is the area of the womb for women.

Without attempting to sound too militant feminist, I believe that this Chakra is a place of power for women, a place to draw strength from. In our world today we don’t know how to do that. We’re taught to cover up, take a pill and keep it clean.

Well, let’s face it. I’m messy. We’re all messy in our own ways. And maybe we’re doing ourselves harm in hiding it.
