The first impression that I’m getting is one of authority. Do you see all the lions in this card? King of the jungle. And these appear to be friends and cohorts with the King of Wands.
The second impression is one of a combination of strength and experience. So maybe strength through experience. The horns on the mans head indicate the strength part of that, but then look at the rack. This is not the rack of a young buck, that hasn’t seen a thing or two. This is the race with several points, indicating lots of life experience.
The other thing that calls out to me about this card today is the light shining out of the kings back. Radiating out of and swirling around him and the lions near him. I see him as lighting the way for those behind or near him.
And, of course, it’s upside down. So what is the twist on this card for us today? I’m sensing that today this card has a dual meaning for us.
Do you remember a little bit back we had the Two of Wands and it was to make us aware that other people are watching us to see how we carry ourselves and our integrity level, in some cases, even to imitate us? Well, one of the things Spirit is using the energy of this card to draw our attention to is related to that. One of the dualities of this card for us today is to point out that we have our own authority, our own strength through life experiences to draw on, and we each have our own light to share with the world. Especially as those living without a lot of light stumble into us, they will be drawn to our light, and learn from us, how to bring their own light out.
The second part of our dual message today is that even as we are shining our light out to the world and mentoring those around us by doing so, either directly or indirectly, it is also time for us to be looking around us for someone who can be our mentor. Someone who can shine the light for us in places that we haven’t shined our light yet. Someone that we can look up to or have for a mentor.
This is about a time of growth for us. Any teacher will say that you learn much more about a subject when you teach it, being a mentor will help us to learn and grow. And following in someone elses footsteps is also about learning. Evaluating if the way your mentor does things is working as well for you as it does for them, making the adjustments that we find necessary, and pressing on.
