Belladonna
I beleive we discussed the 6 of cups and the 6 of wands in the very first thread about the Wheel of Change deck, if I'm not mistaken, but I encourage anybody to add to that here with new insight, ideas, opinions and observations!
I'm particularly interested in the 6 of Swords card. It's been awhile since I read Alexandra's interpretation of this card. I think I'll go purely with my own thoughts before re-reading it.
What a striking image! A majestic caribou lying lifeless and bloody against the frozen ground. This in itself overwhelms me with feelings of responsibility, guilt, and the gravity of the situation. For me, the decision to kill such a creature would have been an extremely difficult one, and probably based on the fact that my family depended on it for survival.
Then, the sky and the canadian geese both speak of transitions. I like to think that the sun is rising, that the darkest part of night is over. Likewise, I like to think that the geese are flying back North, that the darkest part of winter is over.
This would inspire hope in me. That the difficult decision and action I undertook to kill this powerful and beautiful animal was not in vain. That the future holds a promise of improving and that we will survive.
