Outside the Maze

9/6/2022

CREATIVITY – There is a way out of the maze we keep trapping ourselves in. The DreamTarotCreativity card reminds us that we possess inherently the goddess’ power of making Something out ofNothing. Think. Feel. Look at the tactile world around you and reach out your hands.

YOU ARE AN ARTIST – Artists are creators who insert themselves – sometimes generally disguisedas humanity” into their work. They immortalize themselves with thought and effort. Usually theirworks are so intriguingly beautiful we are drawn in and our critical senses – our  fear – is tranquillizedwhile we allow the artist to work their magic upon us. Artists aspire to be magicians of the mind andsoul.

CHALLENGE  -      You want to create something unforgettable because you do not want to beforgotten. You want to create something with the power to open hearts, minds and brains as  yourswere first opened, long ago, when you looked upon this amazing world for the first time  andunderstood what you saw.

DANGER – There is possibility here for such overweening pride that you place your own psycheabove Creation in importance.   If you seek worship your own soul will be hardened unto death.

OPPORTUNITY – You will join the gods in creating something really new that the worldcannot live without. The joy of sharing, the rapture of being known, the ecstasy of expression, ofbeing understood, will be yours.

MEDITATION -
#Haiku: Creativity

You: Immortalized;
Fireborne
Force majeure
Create
Become –
Exalt
You.
