Tarot Blog Hop: 48

Welcome to my wee corner of the hop, I have to warn you before you carry on reading, I have a bad case of the warm and fuzzy. I also have a severe case of reality bytes as well, so be prepared for a bit of a mixed bag in this one.


As I said on the opening page, to this day, I truly do not know where the words come from. My ritual is quite simply clone the previous post, clear the contents, and then wait. Next thing I know, I have an opening paragraph and a direction (to a point) to go in.

Let's get started with the topic, by introducing the Wheel of Fortune from Top That Publishing, these days I tend to see the Wheel as the cycle of life, or the Fates Loom.


It's constantly spinning, and the outcome always changes. As humans, we are unable to see beyond the limitations of our choices, or descisions. 


Maybe it is one reason that depending on which Calendar cycle followed, the Tradition of the New Year's Resolution exists. To hold a course of action, that acts as a preventative or buffer from actually making spontaneous change for the better.


The other significance of the Wheel, outside of Fate, is taking a chance, spinning the wheel and seeing what happens, taking 'that punt' or being daring, consequences be damned.


However, the question with that course of action is are we prepared to accept the outcome, and own it, more so when it doesn't work out, as opposed to when it does.


It is very easy to stand on top of the gleeming pile of gold, and say Ha! I made this. Rather than the other steaming pile, and saying Ha! this is what happens, when it doesn't work out, but I am okay with it.

The Hanged Man from Top That Publishing, now he's curious, where the Hanged/Hanging Man is concered, this is about introspection and perhaps navel gazing...


This time of the season, and the ever spinning wheel can do that. Trouble is, it becomes so easy to get lost in the introspection and navel gazing, that the importance of not only the moment but the journey gets lost, or unnoticed.


Perhaps, it is okay to hand upside down, and pause for a moment, so long as the blood doesn't rush to the head for too long, and the navel doesn't become the abyss staring back asking the same question that prompted the act in the first place.


It is fine to rediscover the balance, just don't loose yourself in the process of doing so.
