Stages of Our Life's Journey
As it's Sunday I'm doing some light reading (turns out this is a bit of a metaphor for me today) and as I am flipping through this book Rachel Pollack, entitled "The New Tarot Handbook" I have rediscovered the "Fools Journey" and my place within it
If you place the "Fool" at the top, then create three lines of 7 cards each (just the Major Arcana) you get a rather clear view of the Fool's journey through life (about 20 - 25 years of life in each)
The first 7 cards show how the fool has grown up, finally finding his/her own path, and finally setting off on his own
The next 7 cards show the trials the fool has endured, the things learned along the journey, the strength, courage, and knowledge obtained along the way. This stage ends when the Fool learns, both through loss and the "ah ha" moments he will be reborn
What really struck me on reflection is how this rings true for me. When I finally "retired" (as seen by the world at large when one hits the ages of 60+) I realized so much of what I believed previously, what I fought for, was only a small piece of the real story of life
As Rachel puts it "... they (these cards) actually tell a very simple tale, what I call the Liberation of Light."
Something I will reflect on further but I am finally discovering the REAL truth about life and why we are here. I plan on lighting up these next 20+ years. I have so much yet to discover 💜
