Belladonna
I'm back!
Hi! Glad to finally have a chance to sit down with the Judgement card.
You know, I wasn't brought up as a Christian so I don't particularly relate to, or like the idea of being judged for my past actions by some big, old, white-bearded, patriarchal God figure sitting up on his throne in heaven. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone with that image. I'm just making a point that I don't think that point of view is always healthy, and it's strong in our culture, and the sticking point for a lot of guilt complex type of problems.
I worship the Goddess and her consort, but the emphasis is on the balance between the two with a heavy earthy presence. (by earthy, I include all the elements of our plane)
So for me, it makes more sense to place my judgement in the hands of the Goddess. I know that I will reap what I sow, and suffer the consequences of my actions. Whether I call this the Three-fold law or Karma, I understand that is the only way to truly learn- by experience. But I also believe it is my destiny to understand my karma, so that I can move forward in my life with increased awareness about myself and how I affect the lives of others. I believe the unravelling of this universe is generated, in essence, by love and that ultimately, I have nothing to fear.
Now go and take a look at that happy little man sitting in his garden cradled by the bosoms of the goddess, ready to be born again, but this time he gets it! He is thinking AH HA! So that's how it is!
