Musings

I love Thanksgiving. It's my favorite holiday for the simple fact that it's an entire day of being thankful, even if you spend the rest of the year whining. Thankful for food on the table, a roof over your head, clothes on your back, good friends, et. al.

And for the fact that no gifts are exchanged, so you don't have to deal with the greed factor.

I'm still in Buffy mode, and am now wondering why in the world they killed Anya at the end? There was just zero purpose to making her their token dead main character at the end of the show.

Today's tarot spread:

Three of Swords: A heart is pierced by three swords. This card calls you to consider the relationship of your past, present, and future. You are not being singled out for suffering. Maybe there are three paths with heart open to you at this time in this universe of infinite possibilities. It isn’t always about you. Consider how you fit into someone else’s’ life. Ask: What do you need to cut out of your life? Are you making someone’s life unnecessarily complicated? Is there someone close to you who is feeling great distress and needs support? Are there factors you haven’t considered?

Ten of Rods: An old man labors under the weight of his rods. Do not follow along in the ruts created by the well-trodden fears of your ancestors. Do not take on more than you can handle. Listen to your doubts. Let go of outdated or unrealistic beliefs about yourself. You are no longer the child your parent criticized. Ask: Are you stubbornly clinging to old beliefs, self-images, or plans? Are your prayers unanswered? In an effort to punish others, are you punishing yourself? Has the price of success been fraught with feelings of guilt?

The High Priestess: The beautiful High Priestess sits on her throne and holds a scroll of wisdom on her lap. This card speaks of the dark mysteries surrounding the death and rebirth of an idea or person, the presence of unrevealed influences, or the beginnings of abstract spiritual wisdom. Ask: What clouds your future? What are you resisting? Who are you?
