By the light of the sun, by the depth of the moon, by the flame of the wand, and by the
pentacle of earth, I call upon the guides of wisdom, the ancestors of the craft, and the
holy guardian angel. Guide us now through the stations of the dove and serpent. Reveal what
is hidden, that we may transform it into light. Hello, Cancer. Welcome to Dove and Serpent Tarot.
My name is Paul. Today we travel the path of the dove and serpent spread,
an 11-fold journey of transformation. Each position reveals a unique aspect of your
journey, alternating between the essence of your being and the events that shape your destiny.

especially if this reading resonates with you. I am merely the messenger, and I ask you to
connect directly with each of these cards and use your own intuition to take you beyond the
details that I provide. And remember, Cancer, that the most important part of any tarot reading
is you, and you are the builder, the prince of pentacles. This is the first card in our spread.
It's called the station. It represents the way we see ourselves. This is your general vibe right
now, and you're building something. You're someone that shows up every day. You're the
one that's putting in work. You're somebody reliable. You're dependable. People know that
when you say you're going to be somewhere and that you're going to do something, well, Cancer,
you do it, right? And I think that you see yourself as that kind of person. Maybe you
pride yourself on this, that I show up every day and I put in the work. This is the card that's
nose to the grindstone. This is someone that does not allow much thought to interfere
with our duty. It's like when it's time to get out of bed and go do the work, we get out of bed,
we go do the work. We try not to think about it too much because maybe, Cancer, if we do,
we're going to end up staying home. We have a tendency to talk ourselves out of doing things,
don't we? I'm a solar Cancer myself, so birthday's coming up soon, right?
So happy early birthday to you. We tend to put ourself on a kind of regimen, a kind of autopilot.
The alarm goes off, I get up, I do the thing. I don't have to think about it.
That takes away the opportunity for me to talk myself out of it, right? So I like this card.
I think that these are very, very good qualities. I don't know what you're building right now.
You're building a life is what you're building. Maybe this is a particular project. Maybe this
is a particular physical goal that you have, health or wealth, physical, financial kind of
thing. Let's put this card into a little bit of context and let's see what else is going on.
See, there's a three of swords. We're talking ourselves out of it.
We have a 10 of wands. We have the hermit energy. We've got a princess of cups. We have the lover's
card. We have the hanged man. We have one of your superpower cards, the knight of cups. This is a
card that is associated with the sign of cancer kind of inaction. Here we have the eon, rebirth,
reawakening, the baptism by fire, and the 10 of pentacles, the great success. That's what you're
building, right? You're building your 10 of pentacles. You're building the life you want to
live. Spirits, I'm seeing something about a porch swing or something like with an older male. I
don't know if it's a grandpa energy, but there's like sitting on the porch swing kind of talking
with somebody, right? I don't know if that's a memory or that's something. I don't know if that
means anything to you, but it's something that I'm seeing right now. Anyway, let's select the mystery
card, bonus card, confirmation card. This is a random card from the Smith weight tarot. This is
the factor infinite and unknown. We're going to set it down right over here with Mr. Dow, the yin
yang duck right there on top, and we're not going to look at that card until the very end.
It will tie everything together. It will give us the confirmation that we need at the end of the
reading. If at any moment during this message you feel like you might know what that card could be,
put your prediction in the comments down below. Now, as we look around the room, we do see
some good majors, right? We see one, two, three, and four. Baptism by water, baptism by fire,
right? By letting go and surrendering, we're leveling up our lives and we are getting
to that good life. We're getting to that best life, okay? The hermit is kind of going their
own way. The lover's card are coming together with something, so this is kind of a separation
and a union. Really good stuff. You got fire, you've got some water, you got some air, and of
course you have your earth cards, right? The second position in our spread is called the battlefield,
right? This is where your task or your quest really lies because this is a card that is
talking about the past. This is a card that says there are some things that are still affecting you
from the past that are influencing your present, okay? It's a card of memory. This is a card of
some kind of a sorrow. This is a card that's saying if I stop and think about it too much,
I'm going to talk myself out of it. I'm going to make myself upset. You ever say that to yourself?
I can't think about it too much because I'm going to make myself cry. And I wonder if
part of this thing you're building, this life that you're building, I wonder if it has to do
with relationships. I wonder if it has to do with a family. I wonder if it has to do maybe with romance,
maybe with community, connections, other peoples, the fulfillment of desires.
The battle right now is for you to not let your past interfere with your present,
to not let your memories of the past or the complexes that are created from the past
to interfere or sabotage what we're trying to build right now, okay? Because this is
sometimes a card of self-sabotage. This is the card that says there are energy patterns in us
that have been created long ago that are influencing your current situation.
And the quest is for you to recognize these and do them anyway. If you're going from hermit to
lovers and you're trying to build a relationship, these are all those things that are going to get
in the way of that, right? This is Saturn and Libra. These are all of those unconscious,
usually unconscious things. This card very often is under the surface or in the background.
But right now it's kind of front and center because you're dealing with a lot of issues.
I think you're trying to build a healthy relationship with yourself, with a partner,
with the world, with your family, with your friends, with your business, with everything,
right? We're trying to commit and we're trying to achieve and we're trying to reach these goals and
whatever they might be, trying to build our best life. These are all those things that we are aware
of that might be getting in the way of that. And usually this is manifesting as negative self-talk,
too much self-criticism. The Three of Swords, like I said, is a memory. It's a memory of
something painful. And that memory of something painful, the more that we relive it,
the more that we allow that energy to sort of have its power and we allow that program to run,
it sort of interferes with us getting the thing that we want, right? So we have this memory of
past pain, which is interfering with our ability to form a new relationship, to get something
good in our lives, to be happy, okay? Because I remember it kind of happens unconsciously. I
remember when I tried that last time and I got hurt, therefore I'm not going to try it again.
These are those unconscious complexes that very often are there because they think they're helping
us. Like we touch a hot stove when we're a kid, instantly a complex is created. And now that kid
has a complex that says, don't touch hot things. And so we see something hot, we back away. Nope.
So those complexes, they're not bad. They're not out to hurt us. In fact, they're trying to protect
us, protecting us from the hot stove, protecting us from getting burned, protecting us from getting
hurt, preventing us from doing something that's going to hurt us, or at least so it thinks.
So it may prevent us from committing to something, trying something, getting into a relationship,
loving something, choosing to unite with something because, oh no, don't say yes to that because that
could hurt you. It hurt you in the past, so it can hurt you again. So if we experienced a bad breakup,
complex is created that says, okay, I know now not to get into any relationships because I can
get hurt again. But it's interesting that this is front and center for you.
I think you're starting to understand in whatever work you're doing, whatever
you're building, whatever your activities are with your builder energy,
I think we're starting to recognize that there are things that come to the
surface now that I have to deal with. And if I can deal with them and do the work,
show up every day and do that sort of inner work or that spiritual work, I can have the unity,
I can have the wholeness, the togetherness, the family, the friends, the life that I truly desire.
So your quest, your battlefield, this is where you're being called to have courage.
This is where you're being called to grow and to change and to make the choices,
to not let these programs run. So let's say you're in the middle of a conversation that's getting
kind of emotional with your partner or a friend or something, and suddenly you kind of feel like,
wait a minute, I remember this. This is from when I was a kid. Who wrote that script?
It feels like something's playing out right now that we're saying, hey, this isn't me,
this isn't what's going on right now. This is something that's from a long time ago.
That energy is coming back to the surface. So this is sometimes a good thing,
because once we can recognize this, we can kind of override it. Now the next position
underneath the surface, this is inside of you. This is the unconscious energy.
Beneath the surface, in your soul, it's the 10 of wands. You're somebody that
you keep a lot of things in. You don't reveal everything about yourself.
This is maybe a feeling of being overwhelmed. This is a feeling of frustration or exhaustion.
You're not telling anybody. This is like something in you is maxed out.
Something in you is at this kind of critical mass, and I feel like we're approaching this
kind of boiling point or tipping point. We need to be able to express that.
I don't know that you have always been good at expressing your emotions
or expressing your frustrations, or even really to ask for help.
I don't feel like you're one that does that. I feel like maybe part of this
program or complex that's running is this idea that you don't ask for help.
If you're not capable of doing it on your own, you shouldn't be doing it.
This is someone that is going to hurt themselves trying to carry all the groceries in from the car
without asking anybody for assistance. This is an intense feeling of responsibility. This feels like
there's so much pressure on you from something, from whatever you're doing, whatever you're
trying to build. It kind of feels like you have so much pressure on you that it's sort of squeezing
out all these kind of shadow qualities. Now, I'm seeing something about a bird feeder.
I don't know if you have a bird feeder, why there's a bird feeder being referenced here.
It's something to do with your mom, I think. Saturn energy, heavy right now.
Saturn in Libra, Saturn in Sagittarius. Kind of feeling overwhelmed.
Excuse my chair, gosh, that's such a loud chair. I really got to get a new one. I had a new one,
I broke it. Now, I'm using this really old one and it's squeaky. Anyway,
the Saturn energy is really restricting our ability to function right now. It seems like
you're identifying as the builder, as that prince of pentacles, but there's so much going on,
so much responsibility. Perhaps you're being spread too thin and it feels like a lot of your
shadow qualities are coming out. Maybe we're losing our temper, maybe we're not behaving in
a way that we kind of think is admirable. A lot of the shadow things are coming to the surface,
let's say, because we feel kind of like we're being squeezed with this Saturn energy here.
It's a very heavy energy that feels like it is pushing out a lot of these sort of shadow
behaviors. The 10 of Wands under the surface is this need for some sort of a pressure relief valve,
that there's too much being expected of you and we don't know how to say,
hey, I need some help, or hey, let's slow down, or hey, can you take half of this and I'll carry
the other half? This is part of what we need to listen to in us, because I think there's something
in you that's, again, it's kind of reaching the boiling point, the tipping point. We're about to
maybe have that burnout or that breakdown, and it feels like it's more of an emotional thing,
that there's a need for us to express our emotions here so that we can have some sort of a,
that we can take a breath, really. It's what it feels like. Let's look at the past position.
This is the dwarf position. This is maybe a recent event that is still holding sway on you,
and this looks like somebody has left your life. Maybe this is the builder, maybe really it's the
rebuilder. Maybe there is a sense of abandonment here with this hermit energy. It could be
that someone has, and maybe not intentionally, although it doesn't really matter, ultimately,
somebody has left your life. Maybe it had to do with a family member, something like this.
That somebody has exited our life, and because of that feeling, that unconscious
abandonment sort of complex that could be created, we're now reluctant to rely on anybody.
We are now reluctant to sort of give our, put our faith in anybody or our trust in anybody
or to team up with anybody, to partner up with anybody. Let's say it's,
let's say it was a parent. That causes a deep, deep thing. Let's say it was just a friend. Let's
say it was somebody that was supposed to show up at work and help you dig the ditch, and they didn't
show up and you ended up digging it all by yourself. Well, now there is that sort of
self-reliance complex that gets created where it says, I'm not going to take on any task unless I
can do it myself, and I'm going to, even if I can't do it, I'm not going to ask for help because
screw that, I'm not going to rely on anybody else, because I know what happens when we do that.
So I think the hermit here is really this thing that's still pulling on you. It's somebody,
whether through their own volition or through some event of life, they were no longer there with you.
Does that make sense? And I'm getting an initial Y. I don't know, I don't think it's us asking why,
but like a Y name or initials or something, right, with Y. And this could be a long, long time ago.
I know we said it's the recent past. Well, this is the position of the recent past.
It could be it happened a long time ago, but it feels like it was just yesterday.
You see, now up above, we have the giant. This is the dwarf position. This is something that's
still dragging on you. This is the giant. This is kind of what is motivating us, and this feels
almost like this is us when we were a kid. Yeah, it's the princess of cups.
This is sometimes the motivation for us, and maybe the feeling here, especially with the
10 of wands, is that because we've experienced this hermit event, what gets called an abandonment,
because of that, that now not only are we not ever going to rely on anybody else,
but now we're going to make sure that we do not abandon the people in our lives.
So there can be good that comes from that. Because something has happened to us,
now I'm saying I'm making sure it doesn't happen to anybody that I care about.
Well, there could be a younger female energy in your life. That is sort of what we are
kind of committing ourselves to always being there for. Maybe this is kind of our inner child
too. It could be. But it goes with our 10 of wands here, because the 10 of wands is saying
there's nothing that I'm not going to be able to do, that I'm going to put all the responsibilities
on me. I have this huge responsibility, this huge burden. I'm carrying all the weight.
No matter what happens, I'm not going to let this person down. And so really, maybe we've
sublimated this energy, and we're saying, I could let this thing tear me down, and I can let
this destroy me, or I can sublimate that energy, and I can say, this has given me the ambition to
never quit. I'm never giving up on anything now. And maybe the princess of cups is us.
Maybe this is some person that's very important to you in life.
I think that this could be a very positive thing. It could also lead us to that point of
burning ourselves out, to the point where we're at the boiling point or the tipping point.
Because again, we're sort of refusing to give anybody else any piece of that responsibility.
It's kind of like saying, if you want something done right, you got to do it yourself.
Well, what if we had that belief or that philosophy on everything?
I'm doing everything. I'm not delegating any of my responsibilities because somebody's going to
let me down somewhere in that chain. That's heavy duty. In the future position though,
the next step for you is family, is partnership, is togetherness, it's union.
I think that with the princess of cups, this is also that part of your energy that is
refusing to go beyond the surface level connection with anybody.
This is a feeling to behavior and we kind of keep it casual in a way.
And maybe we don't realize that, but maybe we do have an issue getting close to people
or letting people get close to us. And that as committed as we might be, as
intimate as we might be with people, maybe there's always something that is kind of walled off in us.
Because what I see here is that we're trying to build a life, a relationship, a family,
a partnership, whatever this is, but there's something that's interfering with us
truly connecting and forming this bond. This is a real bond with somebody.
And it could be that the princess of cups is kind of saying like, yeah, because of what has
happened to me, now I find it difficult to get close to people because I don't trust people.
I don't rely on people. And that three of sores could be a card of mistrust. Maybe we're mistrusting
not that we're mistrusting other people, but then I don't trust myself to make good choices anymore.
Yeah. And so there's that unconscious complex that's preventing us from getting hurt by
keeping a certain part of us walled off. But the next step for you,
if we can get through this battle here, this quest of ours, we can get the union.
We can have that intimate connection, that deeper bond, right?
I'm seeing a flashlight. I don't know why. Why is there a flashlight for you now?
Something about the batteries? It's like one of those kind of big yellow flashlights. I don't know.
The lover's card doesn't have to be romance, right? Put your pitchforks away. It could be,
but this is intimacy. This is closeness. This is a bond. This is really connecting with somebody.
When's the last time you really let somebody in? And what was the result? That doesn't mean that
you can't do it again. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't do it again. Of course, there is that
self-protective part of you that's saying, no, maybe not. The next step for you is to find that.
This is a soulmate situation. This is a true love. This is a union. This is a family. This
is what you're really trying to build. Connections, right? Let's talk about the
path of the serpent. As we do this, I would like to ask for your subscription.
If you haven't subscribed, please do. These readings are totally free.
And if there's anything you would like me to pray over or meditate upon or send positive
energy toward, please let me know. Now, position seven, the persona. This is the
way other people see us. This is an energy of suffering, of sacrifice. This is somebody that
is willing to give other people the shirt off their backs. You're willing to be everything for
everyone else, but this is at the expense of your own happiness, your own well-being,
your own fulfillment, your own best life, your own needs and wants. This is someone who's very
generous with their energy, giving, giving, giving, giving, giving, giving, giving until
there's nothing left of me because I don't trust anybody to be there for me, but I'm going to be
there for everybody else. This is somebody who is sacrificing their own needs, desires, wants,
their own aspirations, and for what? For that three of swords. Realizing, figuring out, and
that's what spirit is trying to do through these tarot readings most of the time, trying to
illuminate those places within us, those blockages, those knots of karma, those sore spots, those weak
spots, right? And once we can be aware of those and we start to do that work, things can flow
through us so much easier. The clearing out those blockages allows us to transmit that divine light
that's within us and come together with that which is meant for us, whether it's a person, a place,
a thing, an idea. Maybe this is not about relationships at all. Maybe this is about
you building a business saying, hey, I tried it once and it didn't work out. Now I have that
complex that's created that's saying, well, I know now don't start a business because that's how you
get hurt. But then we're missing out on this. We're sacrificing this sense of purpose, this unity,
this fulfillment of our destiny. We're sacrificing this because of something that happened previously
and now we kind of have a little bit of a fear of taking this risk or trusting enough or opening
ourselves up enough to do that, okay? Now who's Zora in your life? I keep getting the name Zora,
Z-O-R-A. I don't know what that, I don't know what that, I think it's a name. I don't know
what that word means, Zora. Anyway, the persona, right? That this is not serving us anymore.
We're acknowledging now that we're the builder. This is how we see ourselves.
This is how other people see us, okay? So we're kind of saying like, yeah, you know what?
I'm going to build what I need in my life. And of course, I have the resources to build
that, but I'm also going to ask for help. I'm also going to reach out to other people
and to connect with other people and to establish relationships. I don't want to
just be the hanged man that's just kind of like almost given up, you know? This is not the persona
we want to project to the world. We're identifying as the builder. I'm going to build my life up
or rebuild, okay? This is somebody who's given up on building their life.
And now the next position, of course, is in the environment. It's your relationships.
This is about you being vulnerable. This is about you reaching out with your authenticity,
with your true heart and trying to connect with people. This card's all about the giving and
receiving of love and affection. Yeah. Reaching out with our emotions and saying, this is me,
this is who I am. I want to connect with you, okay? In a deeper, deeper way. This is the card
that is looking to begin something new. All the knights are looking at the future, right?
And the knights are looking at the future and thinking, how do I start this? How do I start
something new? How do I get the 10 of cups, right? Because the knights looking in the future,
they see the 10 of cups. That's what I want. And 10 of cups is like, that's my best life.
That's the feeling I want my life to have. That's the happiness. That's the satisfaction. That's
the dream life. How do I get that? What do I got to do to start going down that road? Well,
first thing we got to do is find out what's blocking us from that. Find out what's holding
us back. Okay? And then we start reaching out to people. Then we start putting the pieces together.
Then we start having conversations and making connections, sharing ideas, sharing our energy,
being open, being ourselves, having feelings and expressing those emotions and
getting creative and all these things. This is the passionate beginning of something.
This is an emotional drive leading us to what is going to be our best life. Now, I want to also
comment on your fire and earth connection here too. The 10 of wands, 10 of pentacles, fire and
earth, you're the builder. It seems to me that we've been way more focused on building up our
physical world, finances, health. We've been focused on material goals. But the thing is,
if we don't allow ourselves these true emotional, interpersonal, connected sense of destiny,
these deeper purposes, these kinds of goals, then the material goals we create, what we're building
is going to be empty. We're creating the house. We're building the house, but ain't nobody going
to come over and be in the house with us. We're creating this, but they're empty shells.
The pentacles, the physical stuff we create is just the vessel. It's just the container
for the interpersonal relationship, the love, the water. These are the actual cups,
but they're empty. It's not a cup until you put water in it, until you fill it up with something.
Then it's a cup. Then it's just a weirdly shaped object. So the pentacles, the material life that
we're building is not going to be satisfying to you at all unless we're able to figure out how
to connect with people again. So we may have been very focused on our careers or material goals or
something like that, and I think we're realizing that no, the next step now is to really come
together with that, with a sense of purpose, with an emotional connection to what we're doing.
Otherwise, yeah, we have that, but that's not going to mean anything to us.
By connecting here diagonally with this lover's card, this is imbued with tremendous
meaning. Yeah, tremendous meaning, and it all starts with reaching out to connect with other
people. Now, you have a lot of dandelions in the yard. I'm getting a lot of impressions from you
today. I see a lot of the dandelions, you know, those with the little white puff balls you blow
and the seeds, right? I'm seeing a lot of those in the yard. Yeah, I love those. I think they're
beautiful, and to me it kind of feels like it's the princess of cups, like just kind of making
wishes, you know, making wishes, and I think we got to get back to that. I think we have to reach
out and try to make those dreams and make those wishes come true. The next card is the fear, worry,
and concern, and this is a portal to a future. Yeah, this is this card of leveling up.
This is the card of going beyond the past, taking a real chance, going through a doorway,
closing the door on the past, creating the future, and so we're kind of stuck in limbo here
where it's like I'm still reeling from the past. I haven't yet gotten over this. I haven't yet
embraced this, so we're kind of stuck in this middle where we're saying, let me just drop out
of that race altogether, and let me just build, you know, build a successful business or something
and not worry about my family or not worry about connections, not worry about intimacy,
so somebody that falls back on their career because their personal life or their romantic
life or their family life has, you know, there's blockage. Now we have the Gemini energy. I'd watch
the Gemini reading if I were you because I'm pretty sure there was a strong connection with
the cancer energy in the Gemini reading, so I kind of feel like you're dealing with a Gemini
person. I feel like Gemini is dealing with a cancer person, so these two readings, Gemini
and Cancer readings that came out today, both of these I think are going to go together, yeah.
The Aeon card is a doorway. Let's, you know what, let's do a divine doorway Oracle card.
It's a card that is asking us to close the door on the past, to get over the past,
and to move forward, okay, to move forward. Maybe this is a reconciliation. Yeah, it could be. Okay,
divine doorway, secret sketches, wander and seek the familiar and friendly kind.
Draw memories and sketches for others to find. Wander and seek the familiar kind, the friendly
kind. Yeah, wander. Get out there and make connections. Get out there and seek new friends,
new people, new intimacy, new relationships, yeah. Draw memories and sketches for others to find.
Maybe make new memories. This is that card that is asking us to go through the door,
yeah, to come to terms in some way. Come to terms with what has happened in the past
and move forward to the future that we want. This is a choice, and once we go, it's kind of a new
chapter, right? I think it's your time to go through this doorway and really,
really get what's on the other side, and that's the Ten of Pentacles. That's your destiny. That's
the fulfillment of your potential. That is the best life, okay? But it's only the best life
when it really does contain everything that it's supposed to. We have to open up,
imagine you open up the Ten of Pentacles and it's just air inside of it, right? It's just nothing
in there. It's like you get a big bag of candy and you open up all the wrappers and there's
no candy in there. That's a major disappointment, right? This has to contain everything,
your pets, your plants, your people, right? What does wealth mean to you? What is the picture of
your best life? What is the life that you're after? We know how we want our life to feel.
Now, how are we building the structure that will support that? I think you are building that
support, that structure. You're building the house. You got to go out and get the people and
make the family and make the friends that you can invite over to share that house with you,
to celebrate with you, to have the dinner party or whatever. This is your personal conception
of richness and value. What do you value in life? What is it that you are trying to build in your
life? And we better get on with it. Yeah. Let's look at the mystery card.
This is position 11. This is the guide, right? And this is the wisdom from our higher self.
This sometimes reveals the quality that we need to embody or we need to develop
in order to walk the path ahead. And I think this is going to be some swords. I think it's going to
be maybe an ace, two, four, six of swords, maybe. If you have a prediction, put it in the comments.
This might be a Gemini energy. Let's see. Seven of swords. Yeah. Okay. Seven of swords.
Doing our very best to move on from the past. Okay. And that Eon card is kind of asking a lot.
You shut the door, you lock the door, you go from past to future. Simple, right?
It's not that simple. It's not literally a doorway that we walk through and we say,
that's it. I'm done with the past. There's kind of a linger. There's kind of thing. It's like
it stretches like taffy. You stretch it, you stretch it, you stretch, it gets thinner and
thinner and thinner and thinner and thinner until it finally breaks free and you forget about it.
So we're separating ourself from what happened, but it takes time. And we're going to very often
we're going to find ourselves looking in the rear view mirror and that's okay because that happens.
But the idea here is that we are going, we are traveling, our feet are moving in a particular
direction. And this card is really cool because it illustrates something that I always talk about,
which is your feet are going to go wherever your eyes are going. Like I tell my daughter,
when she's riding her bike, I say, wherever your eyes go, that's where the bike's going to go.
So if you look at the past, you're going to find your body starting to turn around and drive back
to the past. So it's kind of like, be very careful about what you think about and pay
attention to your thoughts. When your thoughts start to linger on the past or start to be drawn
back to the past, we've got to notice that and we've got to bring them back to the present
and focus them on what's coming next, focus them on the future, focus on right now and where we're
going before we start to turn our life back around and go back there. And then pretty soon we're
reliving the past again. And this card illustrates that. And so I think it's good that we're making
forward progress. There will be moments where we catch ourselves looking at the past,
thinking about the past, dwelling on the past, ruminating on the past,
and we just have to acknowledge it and redirect our attention forward again.
This card is also the secret of meditation, right? Meditation is not stopping our thoughts
or controlling our thoughts and some kind of perfect one-pointedness. Maybe that's the goal
of meditation or that's maybe the ideal result. But the practice of meditation is to pay attention
to what our mind is doing and to bring it back when it strays from what we've told it to do.
I want to think about, sometimes I meditate, I just think of like a tree. I'm sitting there in
my mind looking at a tree. And as soon as I start looking at a dog running in the field or kites up
in the sky, then, oh, no, back to the tree. Very simple illustration, but that's what this card
shows. We're distracted. And in this deeper emotional sense, we get distracted by our painful
history and we don't want to drive back there. So let's make sure we keep our eyes forward.
And let the lessons of these 11 stations settle into your heart. Each card is a mirror and each
station is a temple of transformation. Remember that these tarot cards do not dictate your future.
They reveal the patterns of possibility. They invite you to co-create your destiny.
