Tarot by Sage card # 23


Poem Artwork

THE WISDOM TOOTH


MEDITATION: Preserving spiritual inheritance.


BEWARE: Beware of illiteracy.  Being an illiterate elder who has no wisdom to pass on to future generations is why society loses its ancient teachings.

HIDDEN STRENGTH: Dexterous, like the raccoon, expert at opening lids, latches, and door knobs, using dexterity positively as opposed to thievery.

HIDDEN WEAKNESS: Couch potato.  Take a mask-making class so as to pass on the knowledge to future generations that someday may very well be healers, pathfinders, kinship links, and other points of light.

SLANT: This card says a lot about family heirlooms and ancient wisdom-keeping.

POWER: In a gourd patch. (If you can't find one, grow one).

Wonderful Sage! Preserving Spiritual Inheritance is vital... The western world has forgotten its spiritual reality, and nature is reminding us to re-remember NOW! Love your vital work, and looking forward to keeping track. Love & GoodWill Suzie :-)

More people should be concerned about their spiritual inheritance, wherever it lies. I think many people nowadays are much more concerned about tomorrow to ever learn from a spiritual inheritance. I also agree that reading opens doors that would remain closed for so many- just reading one book, one spiritual viewpoint, even within ones own spiritual group, limits the growth of that spirituality. The raccoon comment was very insightful, I love that best, I think. We don't learn enough from animals. The couch potato idea I also like, yet the idea of mask-making tends to make me think of the hidden rather than the revealing, and although the hidden can also be the gem we find, sometimes it is the obvious that can heal, teach, grow anew. I really enjoyed this. It makes people think, which we all should do more, and no matter how we try to connect to that spirtuality we feel all around us, we should also pass on that wisdom, share and grow from it, and listen to the vibrations of the earth. Excellent!

The US Congress is full of "BEWARES!" Everyone can change if they choose to do the right thing. Interesting write--even though I'm lousy at art, I appreciate looking at masks in museums.

This one doesn't touch me but I suspect it would touch me ex.
