Masks, Tasks + Truths

Well, then it made so much sense. I mean we all wear masks, right? How many of us can say we show our true selves to all the world all the time?

FradellaAdventure_13Cups004Today’s card is from the Fradella Adventure Tarot. Once my primary reading deck and still a dear friend, this deck translates cups into masks. At first I wasn’t sure about that suit change but once I started reading with this deck?

Well, then it made so much sense. I mean we all wear masks, right? How many of us can say we show our true selves to all the world all the time?

Scary, right?

I know I don’t. I think, in a way, it’s the right thing to do. There are some things we only want to share with those we trust. Those we know won’t shatter our dreams. Those who understand how to kick us our ass when necessary but do it with love.

This Queen stands half in, half out of the waterfall. Is she taking that mask off as she retreats into her own safety zone? Is she putting that mask on as she heads out?

Journal prompt for today. “Who do I show my true self to? Who sees my true self?”

I am blessed to have more than one person in my life that can see my true self. Some of my exes who are still friends number among those people. I’m lucky that we have been able to reforge friendships and caring relationships after the rubble of the breakup cleared.

Today, I recognize that my masks are part of me for a reason. I accept that I wear many hats and many masks because I am a spiritual multi-tasker. And that’s a good thing.

Are you a spiritual multi-tasker? Want to focus in on what you can shore up or what you can let erode? Contact me today. Let’s set up a time for a Tarot conversation to help you plot your journey.

Who Defines Me?

Adventure_2Swords002Today’s card is from one of my primary reading decks. I’m a bit of a serial Tarotist, you see. I get hooked into one deck for a long time, but then move on.

This deck is one I bought because I’d met the creator online. Can’t tell you where or how. I don’t remember. I’ve slept since then. 😀 But I never thought I’d read with this deck.

It was a CARTOON deck, after all. SNIFF. SNIFF.

Yeah. About that? This is a ddeck taht immediately worked for me. On all levels. It is one of the first decks that taught me suits can be called different things. I learned how to loosen up as a reader.

How you see me does not define me.

I woke up with that phrase in my mind. Then I pulled this card. I knew I was going to work with this deck this morning. I just didn’t know which card would come to hand.

Our Two of Blades is ready. She is can go into a offensive mode if necessary, but for this moment, she’s solidly in a waiting, defensive mode. She is blindfolded because she’s learned what she sees can distract her.

Think about your “Internet-only” friendships. Those people you’ve never met face-to-face. The ones so many claim “can’t be real friends because you’ve never met them.”

We meet one another in this medium without some distractions. Is that a good thing? Is that a bad thing?

Perhaps, my darlings, it’s just a thing. What we do with it is what counts.

For me, I’m more cautious now than I was when I first began my electronic journey. I still have friends from my first BBB. Grex.org for those who are curious. LOL

I do my best to be real, to be authentic, to be who I am in all my worlds–online, offline and dreamtime. That means sometimes I’m cranky. Sometimes I’m mean. Sometimes I’m emotional. It’s who I am.

Some see me as a one-note joy seeker and that’s okay.

How you see me does not define me.

Some see me as an egomaniacal bitch and that’s okay.

How you see me does not define me.

Hold on to that for yourself. You define you. Your opinion is the one that counts in this.
