Today, I decided to try out my new Thoth tarot deck. And the first card I pulled from it is the Moon, which is a fitting card, in that I know this deck will reveal a lot of inner secrets! I already have that vibe, that this is more of a deck for my personal use and meditation, and not ideal for reading to others, at least not yet.
In the Moon, we see the upside down crescent in the sky between two dark columns. Two Egyptian jackal guardians stand on each side with their dog-like companions. From the waters, a scarab emerges, a powerful symbol of our fears and inner demons taking shape in the depths of our subconscious.
Morning Musings
I was planning on cleansing a few more decks over the upcoming days, and this is a good time to prepare the cards for future readings. I am also feeling called to do a spread for myself, although I haven’t yet decided on the question. This fits in with the Moon’s heightened creativity and intuition nicely.
Of course, when the Moon appears, it is always wise to be on the lookout for deceit, illusions, and trickery from others. Although I’m not sure how that could happen right now, I will investigate things thoroughly instead of taking them at face value.
One tidbit on this card that intrigues me is the waves that appear in the water and in the sky. They remind me of biorhythm charts, which show your physical, emotional, and mental energies for the day. As we live by the phases of the moon, our energy can easily wax and wane. I think I ought to take it easy today as well!
Evening Review
I am working through cleansing my tarot decks, as I am taking my time to make sure I am focused and calm before doing each one. It is a rather soothing ritual for me, very peaceful and methodical.
On the deceitfulness angle, I did have an occurrence today that sort of fits. My Paypal balance was not as it should be. Turns out, a few things that I had purchased had not gone through yet. So I have a running tab of what my actual balance is until Paypal catches up. Not a big deal, but could have easily screwed me up had I not caught it early.
Biorhythms never seem to work in my favor, and today was yet another mellow day. Not a lot of energy to get things done, yet I’m alert and want to do things. Simply no oomph! I will do the tarot spread later on this evening, when my kids go to sleep.
What do you watch for when the Moon enters your life? Have you dealt with illusions, trickery, or misconceptions?
