Today I'm feeling a bit more caught up, so here's a Tarot Tuesday post. Today's card drawn is the Page of Wands. I'm using the "Halloween Tarot", so "wands" are "imps" in this deck.
The image on this card is that of a well-dressed young man standing on barren land. The salamanders on his shirt are a symbol of transformation from bad to good. Of course, in the Halloween tarot, our page also has a couple of companions. A friendly demon and a black cat. Both are quite interested and focused on the young man.
The appearance of this card today means that there is some driving force within you that is triggering you to make new discoveries. You may feel called to make an investment or take a big step in life. In the image, the demon seems to be "guiding" the young man forward. The black cat is acting as a "familiar", to keep him safe on the journey. While you are ready to take this next step, you might find that you are getting some conflicting messages that are discouraging you. These conflicting messages are actually holding you back and preventing you from expressing your awesomeness to the world. They are preventing you from showing the world that you exist for a reason.
Sometimes this card appears when a spiritual path or journey is calling you. The Page of Imps is telling you to go ahead and explore. You will not be alone on your journey. There will be people there to guide you and keep you safe along the way.
In randonauting (I blogged about it a few weeks ago), there is a phenomenon called the "despair meme". The "despair meme" is simply thoughts or other things that happen that will keep you from actually venturing out on a randonaut adventure. One of the challenges with randonauting is defeating the despair meme. I've gone randonauting twice now and yes, this is a thing. I equate the idea that something within you is giving you conflicting messages that are discouraging you from moving forward with the "despair meme" in randonauting. What is it that is keeping you from moving forward? Is it something worth paying attention to or simply something you are creating to keep you from taking an important step?
Change can be scary and sometimes our predictable selves will resist change, even if the change is for the better. The page of "Imps" or wands is telling you today to have courage. Be brave. Take the next step in your journey. You will not be alone. Remember that the salamander represents a change for the good. Moving forward is moving toward a positive change. You've got this.
I believe I should be back for Witchy Wednesday tomorrow. I know we could all use a distraction once in awhile from what is going on in our world today, so I promise to include some beautifully dark and goth things in my blog for you to feast your eyes on. Have a terrific Tuesday. Move forward. Be brave.
