<h3 id="what-will-i-experience-today">What will I experience today?</h3>
<p><strong>Grail Ten</strong>: <em>By the sea shore, the path leads to a broch. Nearby stands the Grail. After a long and weary search, the successful Grail winners arrived at Sarras, the holy place from which all the mysteries of the Grail stemmed. Here they found perfect peace and the contentment of fulfilment.</em></p>
<p>-- Today I may experience contentment, the holiness of home or family, fellowship and sharing, or peace and happiness.</p>
<h3 id="who-will-be-my-guide-today">Who will be my guide today?</h3>
<p><strong>Sword Knight</strong>: <em>Lancelot salutes the dawn with his upraised sword. It is Lleminawc the Irishman, who wields the Sword of Light and enables Arthur to steal the cauldron of Pen Annwn. His character's name and attributes are reflected in the tales of Lancelot.</em></p>
<p>-- Today I may be guided by an incisive, fair, skillful person who champions the weak; unsought-for help; or restitution.</p>
<h3 id="who-will-be-my-teacher-today">Who will be my teacher today?</h3>
<p><strong>VI The White Hart</strong> (The Lovers): <em>Enid is transfixed by the sight of the mystical Whie Hart, while her lover, Gereint, kneels at her feet in adoration. The first quest of Arthur's court was the hunt for the White Hart; the beast was then taken to the fairest lady at court. The lovers suffer many trials before they are united.</em></p>
<p>-- Today I may be taught by love, trust, the marriage of hearts and minds, friendship, fulfilled desire, attraction, or the call of spiritual vocation.</p>
<h3 id="meditation">Meditation</h3>
<p><strong>Grail Two</strong>: <em>Two doves drink from a bowl of water, the emblem of the Grail and its coming. The dove is one of the prime totems of the Grail. It appears on the headdress of the Grail messenger, Kundrie. When the Grail knights see this, they rejoice, for they recognize that the achieving of the Grail is not far off.</em></p>
<p>-- As I meditate on the card today, I find it quite difficult. As with yesterday, there are just too many distractions. There are moments where I am able to refocus using breathing techniques. When I am finally able to spend some time in the card, I notice that it is a warm, tranquil place - I hear crickets chirping in the nearby grass.</p>
<h3 id="events-ot-the-day">Events ot the Day</h3>
<p>Nothing of note happened today.</p>
