I'm going to be spending the next couple months preparing to do a lecture on Germanic amulets I'm calling "Beads, Teeth, and Stones", set to make an appearance in February 2007. I will be posting updates on it here; online copies of the notes will be made available right before the lecture in early February. For those that are interested I will post the link for them here when the time comes!
Forecast for tomorrow - nice and cold! Not supposed to get above 48 degrees, cloudy all day. Should mean lots of business for the coffeehouse, so hopefully the day will fly by due to large numbers of customers desperately seeking something h-o-t.
And for the last part...
You are Strength
Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.
This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.
