Buried in the Earth – Transference
This is a time to look for energy, thoughts and ideas that have not made it to the front of your consciousness. Ancestor stories, events, circumstances and dreams have all contributed to where you are now.
Think for a moment of an ancestor who moved from one country, city or region to where you are living now. They were not intimidated by the journey they would have to endure and worked hard to make it a reality. They had a vision of where and what they wanted to be. They were open to the opportunities and challenges their new home would bring.
If you have anything physical from your ancestors, a watch, a purse, a piece of jewellery, even a letter or photographs. Gather them together. Find a quiet space, in your home or in a park, somewhere where you can hold the items and look at them, feel them.
There is a moment of connection.
The energy of that connection flows from the journeys and challenges of your ancestors to you. If you are facing challenges let the energy of the past flow into you and help you face what is in front of you whether it is physical or emotional. Your ancestor’s energy will help you move forward in your efforts to move forward.
When you are finished, place all the items you have in a place where you can find them easily and take them out again in the future if you feel challenged by what is in front of you.
Security
From the earliest time of human history, caves have been a place of refuge. A place where humans could cook and eat, sleep, heal and be safe from predators and enemies. They were also a place where community was experienced. Caves could protect more than just a family unit.
The card shows a warming fire in a cave decorated with an ancient animal. A shaman would guide the painting of these cave decorations. The decorations depicted the world the ancient cave dwellers saw around themselves as well as their hopes and aspirations.
In a time when success at hunting meant plenty for those in the cave, paintings were made showing this vision of an abundant future.
The card comes to you now to tell you that you are protected, secure, and your home like the cave is a place of refuge. As the ancient cave dwellers secured their cave, their home, you put on a seat belt when you drive, you have the insurance paid, you have a lock on the door and you have food and warmth.
