CARD OF THE WEEKEND: May 21-22, 2022

 

The Magician

Oak, Ash & Thorn Tarot

by Stephanie Burrows with art by Adam Oehlers

May 21-22, 2022: Perhaps you've never thought of a bird's nest as an altar. But look at this card from Oak, Ash & Thorn Tarot!

This weekend will be for gathering the elements you need to make the changes you want to see in yourself, your life, and/or your world. Gather and build your nest/altar. Visualize yourself as a bird flying from your prospective nest/altar to pick up the building pieces you'll need. Bring them back and place them just so.

You're selective but also innovative, creative. You find various building items you might not have anticipated; some might even be completely new to you. You intuit their utility, even if, at first, you're not yet sure how you will use them. But, for some, you know exactly what they can do and how to wield them because you've been here before.

The Magician is Tarot's "can-do" figure--mainly, because all The Magician needs for any task is arrayed right there on a well-organized altar. On the Oak, Ash & Thorn card, you find Tarot's four elements--a simple branch for Wands/Fire; a rustic goblet for Cups/Water; a coin stamped with the five-star symbol of Pentacle/Earth; an unadorned sword for Swords/Air. For a truly mystical touch, artist Adam Oehlers envisions a quintet of lightning bugs visiting the nest and its smart and Spirit-empowered Magician.

The ritual tools shown here are not fancy. They serve their purpose, get the job done, through the Magician's crafty knowledge, strong intent, and a blessing from Spirit.

So...! What's on your altar? What's in your nest?
