<h3 id="what-will-i-experience-today">What will I experience today?</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Spear Ten</strong>, reverse: <em>Two ravens guard the pass to castle Corbinec, home of the Grail King Pelles. He was wounded in the thighs and unable to walk, and awaited the coming of the Grail Winner to heal him.</em></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>-- Today I will experience a need for delegation or downsizing</p>
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="who-will-be-my-guide-today">Who will be my guide today?</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>Spear Queen</strong>, reverse: <em>The Lady of the Fountain mourns her dead husband and the ungoverned land. Her husband killed by Owain in a magical contest of arms. Owain marries her with Luned's encouragement and help, and the Lady's lands are held against her enemies once more. But before she can be persuaded, she mourns her husband grievously.</em></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>-- Today I will be guided by jealousy, or perhaps a dominating opponent.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="who-will-be-my-teacher-today">Who will be my teacher today?</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>V Taliesin</strong> (The Hierophant), reverse: <em>He is the poet of Arthur. He sits in a fire-lit hall telling a story to two children - the story of his initiatory transformation and chase by Ceridewn. He accompanies Arthur in his descent to Annwn, and is the witness of Arthur's passing into Avalon. A lark represents his unceasing voice of memory.</em></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>-- Today I will be taught by dogmatism, unconventionality, or iconoclasm.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="meditation">Meditation</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p><strong>XI Sovereignty</strong> (Justice): <em>The Goddess of the Land, Lady Sovereignty offers her cup of truth, while beside her runs a stream of white, red, and black liquid betokening the initiation, acclamation, and death of the rightful ruler that lies in her cup. Arthur and all monarchs must acknowledge her, for she alone recognizes the true king. Her ermine is the beast of Sovereignty.</em></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>-- As I meditate on Sovereignty I find myself constantly getting distracted, though I can feel the heat of the sun piercing through the forest canopy and feel a persistent chill in my body.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h3 id="events-ot-the-day">Events ot the Day</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>Avi and Peter went on a walk to Kilmichael, and I tagged along to take some photos, lagging quite far behind most of the way. Today I felt heavy carrying my own weight plus the weight of a camera, snacks and water. Perhaps I need to better unburden myself and downsize.</p>
