The Power Within ~ Rune and Tarot for 19 Dec 2016

The power within to transform the structure of our lives is represented by the Four of Stones. A suit of Elemental Earth, Stones represents our physical presence and relationship with the Earth. From the Haindl deck, it’s another in a varied expression of this suit, Pentacles, Coins, Disks among its other names. A generally positive card, The Four of Pentacles can refer to miserliness and greed, or to the structure to build wealth. In this deck, however, it refers to the overwhelming energy to manifest new ideas.

The small interpretation handbook states the rocks are in water, but I don’t relate to it that way. I see them as suspended, an expression of their great power. The card is titled The Power of the Earth and reflects the strength and power of manifestation. Tree roots are visible under the rocks, each rock representing the four elemental directions. Hexagram 51 from the I Ching appears in the upper left hand corner called The Arousing, or the drive to adapt our response to chaos and shock, gaining the inner strength to act.

Jera, an Earth Element rune, is considered the rune of transformation and balance. The 12th rune of the Elder Futhark, Jera, or year, brings events to pass and represents our unfolding spiritual awareness. Cyclical movement is felt with Jera as it speeds growth, particularly in the garden, and balances and improves relationships.

The numerology is 4 and 12, reducing to 7. the number for divinity, intuition, and magick. Transformation is felt with the seven as well. If I include card 51 from the I Ching, then we add 6 to 7, 13 the result, which although I view it as a Master Witch number, I’ll reduce it to 4, bringing us back to structure and power.

The Haindl tarot deck evokes such feeling. Hermann Haindl’s attention to detail along with some of the more hidden aspects of each scene really requires a magnifying glass and proper lighting to truly appreciate each card’s message. The 4 of Stones represents our power within to manifest anything we choose. Jera moves energy from one state to another, adding the power of Source Presence to our Earthly intention. As above, so below.

Today begins our transformation. Elemental energies flow in synchronicity, reinforcing our power of manifestation, transmuting the shock we’ve felt into alignment and joy. As we align our Earthly power with our Source Presence the collective consciousness feels and responds to that resonance raising the vibration of all.

It’s easy to react in fear to how our world is about to change given all that we’ve witnessed. Aligning in Source Presence allows us the clarity that reaction prevents. We’ll need that clarity in the days ahead. This sort of chaos or shock can propel us in any direction we choose, down in the muck or arising into Higher Self.

We change nothing if we remain in lower, chaotic vibration. It’s time we arise in alignment with who we truly are as Source Energy in response to the chaos of the physical world. Let that propel us into our collective shift in consciousness, love for humanity our only focus.

Blessings to all!
