Gaian Tarot Card of the Day: Ten of Earth (Pentacles)
On Earth Day, we contemplate all the ways that Mother Earth teaches us the cycle of life/death/renewal, seen here in the nurse stump that nurtures new life.
May new life always spring from the compost of the old.

Gaian Tarot Card of the Day: Awakening (Judgment)
We stand together in community and lift our arms to embrace the Great Mystery.
We’re not here to dominate, to amass a fortune, to force an agenda on other people.
We’re here to love and be loved, to create, and to be of service to the world.

Gaian Tarot Card of the Day: Five of Earth (Pentacles)
Build a shelter in the storm for yourself, and another one for those who need a little help. When the storm feels overwhelming, remember you have the skills to take care of yourself as well as others. We’ll get through this storm together.

Gaian Tarot Card of the Day
Sometimes we embody the Guardian of Water and can access deep wells of empathy and compassion. Other times we’re the ones in need of a nurturing hug or the soothing rhythm of the tides. May we ebb and flow in turn, always.

Gaian Tarot Card of the Day: Gardener (Empress)
A celebration of the abundance of our ever-giving Mother Earth.
What creative project might you be gestating at this time? In what ways are you romancing the land?
And … can you find the small sculpture of Willendorf tucked into the harvest basket?

The RWS 3 of Pentacles shows a priest, an architect, and a mason working together to build a cathedral. It’s a card of creative collaboration. I chose to show three friends laughing and working together to make herbal medicines for the benefit of the community.

The 4 of Swords is a card of rest, recuperation, and preparation to meet the challenges to come. The Gaian version asks if it’s time to step away for a bit and create a quiet space to dream up new creative projects.

Gaian Tarot card of the day. Here is the sacred wheel of life, death, and rebirth, as seen in the cycle of the seasons, the lunar phases, and the zodiac.
Whether we are waxing toward fullness on the Wheel or waning toward slumber, we always come back to center to find our equilibrium.

Last night, under an extraordinary full moon, we lit the fourth candle on the Advent Sunwheel. Pulling the nurturing darkness around us like a warm shawl, lighting candles to encourage the return of the Sun. These ancient rhythms never fail to center us, to warm our hearts, to give us hope. #yule

I've pulled the Death card three times since the election as my card of the day. Hmm. Well, it *is* still the season of the ancestors. Feeling this on many levels — collectively, seasonally, mythically. Life / death / regeneration, always. #herbcrafterstarot, #shiningtribetarot, #gaiantarot #tarot
