Hey! Welcome back to my age of Pisces blog! We are drawing nearer to my birthday which also coincides to the one year anniversary of everything being shut down last year. and one year to when I lost Peanut. I lost her on March 20th last year and it was beautiful snowy but sunny day, sort of like the weather we've been having up here as of late. From now on, every year will be bitter sweet drawing near to my birthday as I remember her holding on for me just long enough to see my family visit one last time for my party. What a sweet girl. I now have Bean who I'm a adore and keeps me so happy. but of course nothing will compare to the kitty lifetime I shared with Peanut. Anyway, let's talk about Goddesses.
Around this same time last year my Nanny gave me this deck of cards and I only now in the last month or so am starting to use it. I thought it would be a good tool to use to learn more about devine feminine wisdom! How fun! Something new at least. I pulled 3 cards from the deck and got Antigone (loyalty), Iphigenia (sacrifice) and Penelope (faithfulness).
Penelope-faithfulness The deck tells us that faithfulness to loved ones allows everyday tasks to have meaning and purpose. Perfect timing for me right now as I am on this journey of self and spiritual growth. All this woo-woo talk and education has been enlightening and while I am on call for my job 24 hours a day, I do spend most of that time home and it gives me the space to overthink everything as Pisces tend to do. Who is Penelope Greek mythology?
Penelope, in Greek mythology, a daughter of Icarius of Sparta and the nymph Periboea and wife of the hero Odysseus. They had one son, Telemachus. To spare herself their importunities she insists that they wait until she has woven a shroud for Laertes, father of Odysseus.
Antigone- loyalty The deck tells us that our family is our fate and each member of the family is bound by it. The heroine's spirit acknowledges this truth to be loyal and true to her own individualism. This is interesting to me. So pulling this card would cause one to focus on the family as a whole and how that factors into the person you are reading for as an individual.
In Greek mythology, Antigone was the daughter of Oedipus and his mother, Jocasta. Oedipus, king of Thebes, unknowingly married his mother Jocasta, and had four children, Antigone, Ismene, Polynices and Eteocles.
Iphigenia- Sacrifice. According to the booklet that came with the deck: the heroine knows she must leave her father's house and return to the feminine values suppressed by the patriarchal relationship. Iphigenia represents the archetypal pattern of the daughter sacrificed to her father's achievements....well damn. Maybe it's a Friday night and my brain is fried but that's a whole lot of shit to take in. What do you think it means? Does it make sense to you? If I pulled these cards out of the deck for your reading today as though it were tarot, what would you think it means?
Thanks for stopping by today! I'll see you back here tomorrow for more astrological fun!
