Jean Noblet Tarot by JC Flornoy |
Subdue the beast and keep my gaze to the future.
What else is here? Her hat reminds me of the tail of a beaver. The beaver is industrious and persistent. Beavers build dams. We have the saying, 'beavering away' when we mean to work on something, to exert oneself, to continue with the work at hand until the goal is reached. There's an answer in that. Don't quit before you're through.
The top of her head reminds me of the teeth in the beast's mouth. She has more teeth in her crown than he has in his mouth. She has the fiercer determination. She can overcome him. Another answer -- remember I have the upper hand. I have more tools at my disposal, I have more options.

There's a job to be done, I'm in a good position to do it, and I should keep my emotions out of it and just get on with it.
What job do you have to do today? How do you need to keep your eyes forward? Have you identified the teeth in your crown? How can you wrangle the beast today? In what ways do you need to draw back from the situation and keep it impersonal?
Love your visual interpretation of this card. Though I have to admit, the beaver hat made me nostalgic for beaver's claws: a Canadian treat I haven't had for about 14 years! :D
ReplyDeleteToday, I have to figure out party favours for the kids coming here on Saturday - yeesh! Trying to figure out what small treats kids different ages will like is hard - I know what my boys like, but I also know they aren't necessarily typical for their age... Hmm, impersonal, maybe Amazon's age suggestions! ;)
Never heard of it. Do you mean a bear claw?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_claw_(pastry)
DeleteNope, it's a Canadian thing: https://uk.pinterest.com/explore/beaver-tails/ :D
