RE: Shake It Up
What google found to help me:
"12 The Hanged Man – Surrender, new perspective, enlightenment
13 Death – The end of something, change, the impermeability of all things"
Yes...! Thank you for your support and perspective Reinhard. 💙
Will reply more thoroughly to comments in a while… Maybe a couple of days. Busy tonight and tomorrow Moving my 20 year old son into an apartment a couple of hours away. Lots of big life transitions this year!
Phew... lots of transition going on for sure. In my "Temple of the Secrets", the structure takes a turn at this point... not sure if it makes sense, what I'm trying to say. The whole 15x45ft thing stood there in a U-shape, and at this position, there is an angle...
Tried to keep my comment as short as possible... good thing we have google ;-)
Alrighty, won't bother you then. Good luck with the move and everything else. Remember how I took our son (he's actually my wife's, but sorta feels like mine too) to study in Austria..
Your comments are never a bother. I delight in them and only wish I had more hours in the day to fulfill all my responsibilities as well as to respond and correspond here more!
Interesting that your structure makes a turn, or an angle, between 12 & 13. Was that intentional, intuitive or just randomly required for the display to fit in the space?
I just googled your temple to see if could see this angle in the structure. Instead of images of the big structure I just got lots of results showing the cards and so I looked over them. I wasn't aware they were being displayed to me in any order. The one that really called to me for a closer look and appreciation was blue with a man upside down...so I zoomed in. only after appreciating the artistry of the image for a moment did I realize I had selected number 12. 😆 Of course, right?!
Yes, time is the biggest problem here, for me too.
I thought you had seen the "temple" in my posts about the tarot cards, it was inside a former chapel. Here is a picture (it was actually never completely finished):
I tried to have the corners in positions, where I saw the biggest turning points.
It seems our senses are often tuned to be particularly sensitive towards things which are the most relevant in our lives. No wonder that card popped out at you. I actually never called it the hanged man, as I find that misleading, when one is not familiar with the underlying mythology.
I chose a different term, which is hard to translate "Prüfung"... something like a test, but in a sense of initiation... I also include the aspect of "Sacrifice", in a sense of letting go of old habits or even things, we cling to, but often they only hold us down.
Thanks for sharing this image of the structure in it entirety. You're right, I had seen it before. Only I didn't search back through your page to find it but tried to google search for it when and instead I found the individual cards.
I find so many people, myself included at times, get stuck in this stage. Habits or things we cling to...intuitively knowing the next big step in life only comes by letting go of the old ways, and yet we are so scared and remain clinging and stuck there.
Its hard to find something one wants to look at in a post from some time ago. I wish there was a better search built in here.
A really handy tool is this: http://steemit.pics/IMGManager/index.php
If you haven't found it already. You can add anyone's username and find all the pictures that person posted here on steemit. Even go to the related post from there.
Checked yours and I see, I still have a lot to explore 😎
Letting go is always the hardest part. Things we are used to give a sense of security, even when they are a source of unhappiness...
Am working on my Friday's Tarot post right now... the High Priestess. Curious how you will feel about her.
Are you finished with your son's move? Hope all went well and he likes hid new place.
That is really handy tool! Thank you for sharing that :-)
We finished with phase 1 of our son's move. The bed and the couch and the big furniture. school doesn't start for another 10 days, so I would like to go back next week and visit with him, helping clean and set up more… Mothering and helping him nest.
The work seems to never be done though. next I have to work on my own move. Cleaning out, boxing up, letting go.
Still working on my reply to your comment on "all of me." My delay is not because it's not important, but again because of the magnitude of you shared is so meaningful and impactful to me. Trying to put all of it in the words…
