Card for the Day: Tranquility

Hello my friends…
It felt very important to me to pull a card to share with all of you today.
We’re continuing to work out of the Seasons of the Witch: Yule Oracle.

I’ll be honest… the first card I pulled, was a card we’ve seen before… The Forest. So you may be wise to take the advice from that post too!

I put The Forest card back in the deck at random, and pulled a card three down from that (I always pull the third card from the top of the deck, because 3 is my favorite number).

And so, we have Tranquility today… which honestly, goes very well with The Forest. The two cards combined mimic my house and woodsy property!

It may seem hard to honor this card these days. As I sit here typing I’m thinking of all the errands I need to do today.
But I think the sheer fact that I took time out this morning to cook breakfast, meditate with the dogs, and write this post, mean I’m honoring the quiet space and coming into the world with a clearer mindset.

In approaching life from a tranquil place, a centered state, without needing to control outcomes, will be a beautiful gift you give yourself this Holiday season.

Tranquility

Mantra: In they womb of blissful quieting and calming stillness, lives the world of worlds spellbound to the silence.

To be at peace means to have inner harmony despite what is happening around you. Imagine how much easier Christmas shopping and holiday preparation would be if nothing ruffled your feathers. The same goes for life. You cannot change other people or external factors, but you can control how you respond to them. Inner peace is created through an acceptance of what is beyond your control. What is the purpose of worry if it cannot contribute to a change in your situation?
You have pulled Tranquility because what you have asked about is beyond your control. It may seem ominous, but the fear is often much worse than the thing itself. Excessive worrying will only cause you more pain and could lead to self-fulfilling prophecies. You are being guided to release stress and seek peace. Reach out for help if you feel like this is not something you can manage independently. Having another perspective could help to ease the stress.
