Mask
Wiccan Cards
by Nada Mesar (Solitaire) with art by Chatriya Hemharnvibul
June 11-12, 2022: Masks not only obscure a human face, concealing the reality on the surface or within an individual. Things, places, and situations can also be masked, posing a challenge to uncover their secrets, true identity, and meaning.
For this weekend, I challenge you to contemplate this Mask image from Wiccan Cards, an oracle deck by Nada Mesar (Solitaire) with art by Chatriya Hemharnvibul. To me, it signals the hidden presence of a different reality behind the visible appearance of things, and it advises a deeper exploration to seek the truth.
Looking ahead, it predicts that you will wish you'd had better information before you started a relationship, accepted or turned down a job offer, bought a high-end purchase, moved to a different location, or sent that manuscript off to a publication, totally confident you'd penned the most exciting thing ever written about your topic!
Hold up. Take another look. Ask more questions--of others, of yourself--and get the details you need to make an informed decision or take a critical action.
Astrologers would counsel that, although we cleared the Mercury in Retrograde period as of June 3, we've not yet cleared Merc's lingering tail! Pesky. And what a retrograde period this has been--from petty to brutal. I will say, though, that a Merc Retro can also stir up and dig up hidden matters and present them for correction--if one is willing to make the correction. So, that fits.
Another meaning of mask as symbol relates to protection of the vulnerable from threat--much as we've seen during the COVID-19 pandemic of the past few years.
Sometimes we encounter masked situations or people, and the protection is understandable and entirely justified. Your Card of the Weekend could suggest something you would do well to protect or shield from one or more people, at least for the moment. You will know if this particular meaning holds true in your current experience.
Take some time out this weekend to slow down, check in with yourself, and ask for more clarity. Open your journal and write down what you're sensing and what you feel you need to know. If there's further practical questioning or research you know you need to do, figure out those necessary steps and schedule the time you'll need to address them. Make space for it on your calendar and be faithful to this promise to yourself.
