The Unveiled Bride

Uncategorized 3 Minutes

Experiences do not tell us WHO we are

People do not tell us WHO we are

Things do not tell us WHO we are

My peace cannot be dictated by anything

My peace cannot be dictated by anyone

Watch me rise

I am standing here today,

In this space

On this ground

While you run behind me

While you gather forces against me

As you stare at me in fury

That is ok

I’m ok to observe you in your fury

Because …..I am ok (she says it almost in a whisper…because she has never said it before).

But this makes you even more furious

How strange (she thinks to herself)

But how interesting (she observes to herself)

When you find peace for yourself and therefore happiness

How it brings forth rage and fierce determination in others to destroy it

Somehow your balance tips the scales for others

It drives them mad

They want you to remain mad and in despair and longing

Because it brings them …..happiness…? (Huh? she thinks to herself)

But maybe yes.

Your despair brings contentment and peace to those who wish ill of you

But to those who find their happiness and peace, despite this….

They unwittingly, heighten the unhappiness, despair and longing in those who wish you ill.

I have overcome my fear of you today

I have overcome my fear of losing you and being alone

I have overcome my desperate hope for your love

Because, I no longer fear myself

I no longer fear loss…of any kind…

Every loss is actually gain

So let them dance furiously around me

I am the maypole, that you dance around elaborately

As you wish me harm

But I thank you!

I deeply and profoundly thank you

For you are adorning me and making me beautiful

My heart is filled with gratitude for you

Deep and profound gratitude

I never knew my strength

I never saw my beauty

But today, I feel like a bride who wears no veil because she knows she is beautiful

She wants to show everybody

There is nothing to hide

Why do we have beauty, if it is not to be seen.

I will run through a field of flowers with the sun and the clear blue sky in a wedding dress with my hair flying free

I am like a bird in the air

Tumbling in delight at the freedom of flight.

I can sing, I can dance, I can laugh, I can run, I can fly.

As I stand as a maypole

or

Run freely like a an unveiled bride in a field of flowers

My sincere and profound gratitude

I give to you.

Updated Wednesday 28/10/2020. I was doing a spread today, this stood out to me. It fits what I was trying to explain in this message. As we find our truth and we begin to find balance in our lives (as we heal), sometimes the people around us don’t want us to change. Those people rise up to challenge us, they come towards us aggressively, with threats and warnings for us not to change. The two of pentacles card, saddens me because I feel like the man is trying to find his footing, he has turned towards the ship and the people coming towards him, but he is not standing in there in fear or defence. Her stands open with coins… gifts, unbalanced but open- I feel he knows these people, they are friends, he feels that they will help him., he has turned directly to them. But they are coming towards him cloaked and the storms are brewing behind them. I think that the swelling ocean in the background is their emotions, their feelings of instability. As the man with the pentacles is finding his balance, it topples theirs and they are not happy about it.

The page of swords is much the same. When we discover our truth, sometimes it’s hard to know what to do with it, once discovered. “Now what?”, the page asks. Well, the storm is brewing there as well. The people are rising to challenge the page. They are saying, “we know you have the truth, and we don’t like it. We are coming to challenge you, to drop your sword, and to forget about the truth.”….But once we have seen the truth, we cannot unsee it.

The five of swords, many tarot readers see this card a bit more negatively. I read this card as a Victory card. No one can steal the truth from you. If you stand your ground you will win. Peace is assured after the battle. So raise your sword in Victory. Friends will support you to Victory and never try and deny you your truth. ‘Friends’ who stand against you…..Will walk away defeated as they are cloaked enemies who have been revealed.

Don’t give up on living authentically my friends, and don’t fear the losing of people who don’t encourage your growth, support you when you need it, don’t celebrate your wins or appreciate your authenticity. Stand your ground, let them walk away. There will be a better offer.
