Last week, I got a deck of archetype cards. Similar to tarot, but it's a deck full of archetypal images (so almost like a full deck of major arcana). I pulled a single card to call out to me regarding my path and my purpose in a larger sense. The card I pulled was "The Crone". The part I found beautifully ironic was the part that said "ability to rise above the world of duality". My last writing was about the duality I live with, and I feel like this card is trying to tell me to move beyond it and reach for more.
Since I pulled this card, and since I have been learning tarot, it feels like all of my witchy sisters have been coming out from the woodwork to give me advice and push me down this path. The thing that has been difficult for me, has been seeing what it is I'm supposed to *do* as opposed to who I'm supposed to *be*. It seems pretty clear to me the person I am destined to become, but it never seems to become clear why. What purpose do I serve? Maybe that's the point. Perhaps I am not the person who is going to change the world, but rather the guide that gives them important advice. I am not Moana, I am her grandmother.
Maybe as the hero, the only person I am supposed to save is myself.
