Thanksgiving is almost here. I thought that I would do a short reading regarding what this Thanksgiving means to us. We are facing hard financial times, a difficult economy, a heavy troop commitment overseas, and the changing energies leading up to 2012. In view of this – where is the meaning in Thanksgiving?
The deck that I used was Kat Black’s “Touchstone Tarot”. I set the following positions:
- What we know we are thankful for. Star
- What we are not aware we should give thanks for. Emperor
- What the gift of this Thanksgiving is. Hierophant
Star Emperor Hierophant
Interesting that all of the cards draw were from the Major Arcana – the suit of Spirituality! This is an important Thanksgiving! The Star tells us that as a people we are hopeful, that we have seen some success and expect to see more soon.
What we are not aware of that we should be giving thanks for is that order and structure rules. The masculine strength here, the sense of decisiveness and competitiveness will serve us well.
The Hierophant tells us that the gift of this Thanksgiving is that of a spiritual awakening – of learning what works for us, and what does not, and conforming more to that line of thought.
I wish each of you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
