Medicine Bag – Treasure
The final reading for January, 2023 and it flows with the same theme of all the other cards in the weekly readings.
Pay attention to the things you have brought with you from the old year and the years before that. The material things you are looking at are linked to memories. The medal ribbon of a parent who served their country bravely brings a particular type of memory. A powerful memory of strength, service, and willingness to accept risk and perhaps pay the ultimate price.
A wedding dress and decorations from a wedding cake speak to hopes for happiness in a future paired with another that manifest in the first shoes worn by a baby.
There is a lot of power in these material things and the memories they stir in you. Pay attention to the lessons and experiences. As the New Year unfolds the message these things bring is one of hope for creating fresh memories, and new things to pick up along your journey.
Joyful Muse – Inspiration
Be more playful now, and in the year ahead. It is time to change your attitude towards yourself and your life.
Circumstances may have made you the way they are right now, but that is no reason to stay that way. In fact, you must not continue the way you are right now. People may find you interesting, and doing interesting things, but inside you are not interesting, you are boring.
The New Year is the time to bring more joy to your life, invite in pleasure and delight. Watch a funny movie and find funny things in the world around you that make you happy.
The Joyful Muse comes when life may seem dark and foreboding. If something unwelcome has come into your life the dark clouds can be dispelled by laughter, beauty, and playfulness. There is an inner child in you. It is time for you to find that child. Look at the world through their eyes for a while as they help you recognise what is fun and natural.
