I find the Singer of Initiation to be one of the most complex of the Singers. When I look at this Singer I see many of the other Singers contained with it: I see the top of the sword and the upturned half moon of He of the Fiery Sword (Singer 5) - determination and decisvieness; I see the lighted points of Ekstasis (Singer 2); I see that the Guardian of the Gate (Singer 3) has moved aside and the gate is open; I see the shape of the Singer of The Chalice (Singer 12) - open and receptive; in the background behind the "Chalice" I see the Singer of Healing (10) - its points of light are also depicted down the center of the Singer of Initiation; I see aspects of She of the Cruach (Singer 5); and I see an incredible resemblance to the Singer of Courage (Singer 8).
In looking at these aspects, I see that these are the ingredients for passing an intiation and moving through the gate. It is not easy. It involves intellect, courage, anticipation, excitement, receptivity, and turst. Once passed there is healing and accomplishment.
When I receive this card in my daily draw, I can anticipate some challenges that will test me, and know the elements I need to pull together within myself to face the challenge, embrace it, and look at it as an opportunity not a challenge. To date this approach has not let me down.
