Today’s card reminds me of sadness and being misunderstood. And that’s a rather unusual interpretation for this particular card. Normally this is the card of love and romance and partnership.
But the Lorelei, to me, is a sad creature. She only wants love to come to her. She sings for love. She attracts love. Sadly none of them want to stay and that love is destroyed. Often, so is the lover.
Per the Dark Goddess Tarot, she is a German spirit of unending desire. The phrase in the Little White Book (LWB) is “the deeper you go, the harder your heart beats”.
So perhaps the Lorelei can find love if only one person will go deep enough to understand her. Deep enough to see all her parts–both light and dark.
Isn’t that what we all want? Just someone to love all of us?
Journal prompt today: “Do I love all their parts?”
Two of Water, Dark Goddess Tarot, 2013
Seek joy, y’all. Pass it on.
I don’t think it is possible to love everything about someone of even about myself. I strife to accept those difficult parts of my loved ones rather then fight them
