Saturday Talks
2019-Jan-26, Saturday 12:53 pmLast week there was a friend's weddig, and I missed Saturday entirely as such; this is pretty late and well after I've woken up, but that's how life goes sometimes.
This week, just one card--it's what feels right, though I have no idea how it relates to what has come before.
Things that leap out right away are the key and thread, and the fact there are two rabbits--one who looks ahead, and one running inside the spool and looking back.
Within mythologies, there is often this narrative of threads of fate; the idea of thread and weaving has often been significant to me too. I don't necessarily entire buy into the idea that we are on a set path that cannot be changed, but at the same time so often in Norse myths we see that some things cannot be changed, only the bits and pieces that lead up to them.
And yes, sure, that can be questioned too--a lot of the Ragnarok myth certainly feels rather Christian--but it doesn't change those are the myths we got, nor does it change that Vali is bound up very much with the way things end.
After the repeated references to bindings and repairing the last time we had one of these talks, it makes sense that threads like this would feel so weighty.
The key, too, seems important. It lies, mostly unseen, but it has a shadow and weight that some other elements of the card lack. It's also so close, and yet no one seems to notice it. Solutions not yet found, isn't that how it goes? I'm not sure what else it holds, and maybe that's just noise.
I'll be honest, I'm exhausted this week, and I'm not sure what else there is in this card. The looking back to look forward seems so obvious as to not be worth commenting on; of course the past has shaped the present and will shape the futures that lay ahead. We'll just put a pin in this one and move on--I'm honestly mostly doing this entry to try and get in the habit of doing these, and not every week can be full of meaning.
Also, the falling stars are a nice little touch--either a wish, or a world ending?
Maybe it's both.
