Card/Number/Keyword - Ace of Bows (Spark of Life)
First Impressions - An explosion, a pop, something unexpected suddenly comes into being.
Senses - Prickle of the holly berry,wrapped around the shaft of the bow; smoke from the popped open tree branch, smelling resinous and fresh. Crackling, popping - a fire. A smell of fire-warmed moss and greenery. Small animals scuttle unseen - chirrups, the crash of small pawsteps. Sunrise, freshness.
Symbols - holly berries, bow, arrow, white fletching.
Holly - omen of good fortune, protection against evil.
Bow & arrow - pursuit and accomplishment of a goal; focussed attention and thought. Vision, bravery, ambition; fast advancement through ranks.
White fletching - Prayers, ascension, innocence, humility and tolerance.
Story -
Sunrise in the forest. Silence. The fresh air tastes brisk; it's still cool. The day is waiting, and the forest with it...
Snap!
It comes from nowhere and everywhere: a loud crack. Startled animals - unseen - scatter through the groundcover, the bushes. And now something new, tasted before it is understood: something burning, a taste of ashes, and a small sun rising right here in the forest.
Such a sight to be seen! A bow and arrow hang in the air. Fire chatters beneath. The bow is ready to use, the arrow is fletched. Yet the focus is on this moment and this moment alone... now --> but what's next? Energy exists (a flush of excitement, heart pounds, skin prickles, eyes widen, mind races) but without form. Pure possibility, no more and no less: formless, inchoate, amorphous.
What will you do with it?
Act quickly. Take the bow, take the arrow. Seize this moment of energy - of anything is possible - before it becomes a memory of what could-have-been.
Potential crackles.
Keywords - explosion of unformed energy; grabbed by a sudden idea or passion; a need for focus; raw enthusiasm.
Element - fire.
What to do - nurture the energy; take action.
What not to do - leave it alone. Either it will burn out or burn out of control. Either way, you're in trouble.
Next Steps - Make a to-do list. Identify a concrete goal - but leave room for further sparks of inspiration and experimentation.
Affirmation - I embrace my full potential.
