Swans are known to be very protective. Both of these swans are trying to help this person see that there is much more out in the great big world than just what this person is seeing inside him/herself. The one offers a poppy, symbolizing the inner death of a person when all they can see is what’s inside themselves. The second one is trying to draw his or her attention to the heart hanging from the tree, wanting the person to become aware of things outside him or herself. Calling that person to let his or her heart come back to life again. The hummingbird is a symbol of happiness. So there is happiness and love and awakening all being offered to this person. But he or she can’t see beyond his or her own cloak. Can’t see it, can’t accept it. Still intently focused only on what is within and not letting anyone close enough to see or touch it.
Now, what is Sacred Spirit telling us through the energy of this card for today? This card reversed is being used to tell us that it’s time to let that cloak fall away. It’s time to let other people see us for who we are. It’s time to let the swords drop as well. It’s time to take the poppy that the swan offers into our hands instead and consider the message there. It’s time to open our heart to those around us. It’s time to see the hummingbird once the cloak has fallen away and we no longer have our blinders on. It’s time to look at our happiness as well as our darkness and acknowledge them both. They are equal, and they each help us to notice and feel the other.
Peace,
Amista
