A Full Moon Card Draw

Jan 13, 2017 01:46

With the current state of politics, I'm feeling more need for insight and inspiration than usual, and I'm thinking my friends might also be feeling the same. So I'm going to try to schedule card readings more often this year, hopefully at least once a month at either the full moon or then new (or possibly both ( Read more... )

For you, I draw the Polynesian Goddess, Hina.

Here is a link to the painting--and to a nice written piece about the Goddess. I often, since Seddon Boulet’s paintings are so easily available on the internet, Google a link to the art when I do readings from this deck, but this is the first time I found such a lovely history of the Goddess and things related to Her - for instance, there is an anime character named after her.

Hina is a creator Goddess and an adventurer. Although she is often characterized as living in the moon, in this image the moon and stars hang in her hair like a crown; she may have created them and gathered them before scattering them across the sky, but they cling close when they can, honoring her free and generous spirit. It seems to me that she is here as a muse or creative companion for you. The tiny bit of her story on the back of the card tells of how when she had a love affair with an eel and that being was killed, she buried its head and several days later, the first coconut tree grew out of the grave. Whatever troubles you are facing, whatever is happening in the world, she will help you find your creativity and your ability to call forth the nourishment and support that are needed.

She says, right now the world may be dark, but dawn is approaching.

Reading this early in the morning, just a couple of days before crossing a continent for a fabulous filkcon is rather apt, don't you think?

;)

Thank you very much!
