CARD OF THE DAY: January 6, 2022

 

Arianrhod

from Goddesses Knowledge Cards

by Michael Babcock with art by Susan Seddon Boulet

 

January 6, 2022: With mystical artwork by the late Susan Seddon Boulet, Goddesses Knowledge Cards is one of the most beautiful, most soul-stirring oracle decks in our field. It is not a Tarot deck. Its cards interpret Goddess lore across the world's cultures--Lilith, Fortuna, Kuan Yin, Persephone, White Shell Woman, The Sphinx, and many more, 48 in total. These compact cards are smaller than standard Tarot or playing cards, larger than Lenormands, and almost--but not exactly--square. Respectfully shuffling them hand to hand--not riffling them, which I dislike in any case--is a breeze.

Today's card represents a triple moon goddess out of Welsh tradition--Arianrhod. Writer Michael Babcock identifies Her as the "high fruitful mother who turns the wheel of the heavens" and notes that She "watches over souls in a purgatory filled with beings awaiting rebirth."

The image inspires me to ask of it (and, thus, of you), "Who is ready? Who emerges now? Who steps out of the shadows into the world?"

All of this is still a mystery for you, perhaps, but you can take a moment today to set aside your everyday busy-ness and ask the Goddess.
