Tarot for the Week: Portals and Possibilities

I’m loving the Alleyman card today – mostly because I am in my happy place, at home drinking coffee, watching the Olympics and knitting.

Very often, the Four of Wands is associated with community celebrations in support of the family or individuals within that community – think birthday parties, weddings or baby showers.

Sometimes there is a sense of sanctuary, with some sort of shelter in the art work, be it open and symbolic or a literal structure. The Pamela Smith RWS deck artwork shows both a wedding chupah and a fortress or castle.

The open shelter images also give a sense of a portal or a gateway. This kind of energy doesn’t come as often as the other, but it steps forward today.

Today is the most optimistic week-ahead energy I’ve felt in a long time.

I hear “ripe with potential.”

I know, I know – that’s not the exact adage, but I’m not going to go all grammar police on the powers that be. I hate pedantry.

I also get “opportunities are what we make of them.”

This isn’t the time to let up. Keep up the pressure. When the christofascists rock back on their heels even a little bit…push harder.

Doors can be shown, doors can be opened, but we can’t walk through them for another.

We must each walk through each door for ourselves.

Or shove unwanted energies out of them.

It is a week of portals and possibilities.

It’s up to you what to draw in, push out or walk through.

“Digger” Death: Change is not only inevitable, sometimes it is a relief. Bury that thing and walk away. Let it go.
