Deck: The Shining Tribe Tarot • 7 of Stones (Upright)
Spread: Card of the Day
Date: Tue Nov 20 09:28:31 EST 2018
Today's Card
7 of Stones (Upright)
They gather 'round her
to sing her way through.
They dance, and shout, and clap their hands,
calling her baby into the light.
The image in the top half of this card comes from from an Indian medallion that I first saw when writer Rosemary Dudley brought it back from a trip to her spiritual teacher in India. Known as the "Seven Standing Birth Goddesses", medallions such as this one help women invoke their local Goddesses when giving birth. I have colored the Goddesses with the progression of the rainbow, which are the same colors found in the human body at the seven chakras (energy centers found along the spine).
Below the medallion we see a soft hilly landscape with a Sun rising like a pregnant woman's belly. In the foreground stands a toad, yet another symbol of the birth-giving Goddess. The archaeologist Marija Gimbutas has written of the toad's resemblance to a woman squatting to bring forth a child, and has shown how this identification has persisted all the way from the Stone Age to modern times. Here we also can see the resemblance of the toad form to the Shining Vision glyph.
Gimbutas describes the many associations of the toad which still hold power in European folklore. Women in labor will sometimes pin a dead toad to the door of their homes. Others will make toads of wax, iron, silver, and wood to give as offerings to the Virgin Mary, Christian image of motherhood.
These many images of the Mother Goddess connect this card to nurturing in all its forms. Something needs to be born, an actual child, or a creative project, or a relationship. The appearance of this card indicates help and nurturance through difficulties in giving birth. The person may receive support and encouragement, or may be called upon to help someone else.
Divinatory meanings: Mothering, feeling supported or supporting others, protection at a difficult time.
Reversed: Laboring to give birth, or to create ideas or work.
