Becoming Tarot,
Be the High Priestess for going within,
For seeking answers by tapping into the unconscious and cultivating awareness of the power of your own intuition.
Find a comfortable seat.
Become aware of your breath.
Sit tall through a straight spine.
Close your eyes.
Feel a seat of stone beneath you.
Feel the coolness of the shadowy chamber you find yourself within.
Feel the draping fabric that cloaks your body.
Brilliant blue lies across your shoulders.
Capes your arms.
Spill across your lap and pull to the floor,
Covering your bare feet.
A presence of stillness surrounds you and is you.
There is total acceptance at being in this space of rest,
Of not doing.
And yet still,
Something stirs within and without.
On both sides of your seat stand a pillar.
One dark is infused with mystery and the stillness,
The passivity you feel move through you,
Through this space.
The other light holds the stirrings,
The movement,
The subtle action you feel move within you and beneath this space.
In your lap you hold the duality,
The truth,
The higher knowledge that you sense but can't see.
It remains always just beyond your reach.
Between the pillars,
One dark,
One light hangs a veil and beyond it a pool of water.
So very still,
So very deep,
Infusing the space with its presence,
Its coolness.
At your feet a slender crescent moon rests.
The energy of this moon begins to fill the space.
You enter even more fully into a state of intuition,
Of reflection.
The energy of the moon has been handed down from those who came before you.
It fills you as it fills the space,
Culminating in a crown that sits atop your head.
A moon cycle complete.
You begin to feel yourself merge with the pool of water that fills the space beyond the veil.
Within this body of water you begin to receive knowledge of all fears,
All desires.
All beliefs.
All truths.
All pain.
All that is hidden beneath the stillness of the surface.
Do not contract your heart against it.
It does not need words to describe it.
It does not need imagery to illustrate it.
It simply is.
And within you,
You allow the offer of this deepest level of inner wisdom to be received,
To be acknowledged,
To be integrated.
In this way you become initiate.
Descendant of Isis.
Lineage carrier.
Bearer of secret depths.
Aware now of all you hold within yourself.
Return to your breath.
Return to this world anew.
Blink your eyes open to a new way of seeing.
Visitors will take part in this journey.
