Knight of Swords
What Sacred Spirit is bringing to my attention through the
use of this card today is the idea of riding into battle. And that sometimes
the most important battles that we fight are the battles in our own minds.
The battles about what we dream of having vs. what we think
we deserve to have. Or the battles with those old voices that tell us that we
can not be loved in the way that we want
to be, and the idea that there is real love all around us.
I see in this card a sense of playfulness in these battles.
Some of the birds depicted here seem to me to be joyfully goofing around with
each other. Some seem to be joyfully exploring what they can make their bodies
do as they fly along with their comrades.
Birds have a lot of knowledge. They don’t stay in the same
place to live all the time. They have information about many places. They see
the world from many perspectives. They see the world from one perspective as
they float along on the ponds and lakes they know. They see the world from
another perspective as they glide above it all, on their journeys.
We can learn from these birds to have fun even in the midst
of our battles. To see what we can get our physical world to manifest for us.
To play and experiment along the way. Play with ideas of what it would look
like if we were with the love of our lives, if we had our dream job, or
company. Play with ideas about who we would like to help along the way and how
we would like to do that. It’s all part of those inner battles. The battles don’t
have to be rigorous. They can be fun. The more fun they are, the better we will
do in them actually.
The other thing we can learn from these birds is that real
knowledge comes from a variety of perspectives. We need to open up our minds
and see things from more than just one point of view if we want to handle any
situation with wisdom and grace.
Wishing you all a wonderful day!
