What Does The Deck Say? February 06 2016


The Bosch Tarot is a series of collages based on the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch. Using a unique set of meanings that is not derived from Waite, it will sometimes read direct, and sometimes read like a koan. It is a good deck for introspection and examination of internal motives.

Today’s cards: 10 of Wands, 6 of Swords, & 6 of Pentacles.

I know you hate the phrase, “It is your gift to bear this burden.”. I share your loathing of it, and the implied justification for the travails you are suffering from. But there is a kernel of truth to it. Not just anyone can deal with what you have been through. The skills you learned to help you survive can do more than just keep your head above water. It is no shame to be what you have become. Look again at your hands. What else can you do with what you know that would improve things for yourself and those you care for. There is the gift. Now decide what you are going to do with it.
