Five of Water ~ La Llorona (Upright)
Mexican Spirit of Grief and Remorse
Fresh tears today or bitter tomorrow.
La Llorona, the Weeping Woman, wanders the arroyos of the Sonoran Desert of northern Mexico and the southwestern United States. She arises from the water crying for her lost children. Living children must not answer her calls, lest she drag them into the river to drown, eternally repeating her crime and her pain.
She is a mother who drowns her children to get revenge on her cheating husband. She is a mother who drowns her children when they get in the way of her desire for another man. She is a mother who neglects her children until they are murdered by wicked men and tossed into the river. She is a mother who neglects her children and lets them be killed by the dangerous rising waters. Her story varies but the horror is the same.
After her children are dead, La Llorona kills herself out of grief and pity and rage and spite. She cannot enter the afterlife until she finds her children and brings them with her. But her innocent children have moved on. They will never be found. La Llorona cannot see that, she cannot let go of her guilt. She cannot stop feeling the pain. She weeps and weeps. She sees only her tears. Still she is drawn to children, to the vulnerable child she can grab with her cold fingers, to one she can claim and cling to for a few brief moments until that little one is lost as well.
Some say La Llorona is not a desperate spirit but the shade of a more ancient power of the land and her people, the Aztec Earth Mother Coatlicue, who weeps on the eve of the Cortés invasion as she foresees the fall of an empire and so many of her children.
When La Llorona appears:
Do not agonize over decisions made in the past, even those made out of anger or fear. It is done and the past does not change and you do not want to keep living there. The present holds the only potential for healing.
Making a mistake once or twice does not make you bad at something forever. In the same but more serious vein, do not take temporary pain as proof of an eternal burden.
Something you must endure on an everyday basis has terms that may be negotiated anew. Stay open to discovering a less painful path of perseverance.
Try a homeopathic remedy for what is ailing you. Try homeopathic magic. Cry in the shower and feel the stream of water as your tears. Cry and let your powerful tears break up and wash away pieces of the pain. Let loose the river of your tears.
Look at what you do to avoid dealing with pain. Understand what results from this behavior, both in the long and short terms.

Today's Card
17 THE STAR (Upright)
the dream
There is peace after a storm. A star of hope and wonder shines in the heavens, promising spiritual illumination and inspiration. Below, with one foot on the land and the other poised magically on the surface of the stream of the unconscious, a nearly-naked maiden stands entranced. She is joyously receiving the waters of the pond, which rise up to her from an enchanted water lily while she pours an endless shower of stars from her two cupped hands, back into the flower. She shows that as heaven nourishes the earthly universe, the beauty of the physical world nourishes heaven. The star in her hair is truly a star upon which to wish for little miracles, with the guilelessness of a child. The response will be love, beauty, peace and help of all kinds. In the realm of The Star all is fresh and new, all is innocence. The maiden's language is poetry and art as she is in perfect accord with her spiritual gift. The Star is a reminder that after the storm of life's upheavals, there is a cleansing and purifying time when a sense of wonder heralds new belief that dreams can come true.
the awakening
Take time to recharge yourself with a period of relaxation. Enjoy being "the star" of your own life story. This is a time for the quiet excitement and pure enjoyment of spiritual ideas and concepts. Let your ideas pour out to nourish those you love. Let your mind dwell on what is good and pleasant in your life and avoid negativity for a while. It is important that you express your creative urge by either making or enjoying art.
the enchantment
Cut out a star the size of your hand, from a sheet of pale blue paper, on the night before a full moon. Place it under a glass of water and leave it there until the night following the full moon. Drink the water and think: "As I drink this water, I am inspired by the moon and stars." Close your eyes and receive a message. Write it down on the star and keep it safe.

Today's Card
Five of Fire ~ Eris (Upright)
Greek Goddess of Chaos and Strife
Run from trouble, it comes back double.
Eris (pronounced air-iss), the Greek goddess of strife, lives to create chaos. She stirs up trouble everywhere she goes, whether it is an unexpected quarrel among friends, a crowd gone riot, or a full-scale conflict. She accompanies her brother Ares, the god of war, into battle, delighting in the horrific and senseless violence. Her thirst for blood is insatiable. Even after the war is over she haunts the battlefield, stalking through the destruction and gloating in her accomplishments.
Because Eris is such unpleasant company, she is the only goddess not invited to the wedding of the sea goddess Thetis. Angry, she turns up anyway. Out of spite and wickedness, she tosses amongst the guests a golden apple inscribed “to the fairest.” Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena all claim it, and their rivalry will trigger the events that lead to the Trojan War and the devastation of an ancient city and people. Ruining a single wedding may have been the better choice.
Aesop tells a somewhat contrary tale of another of Eris’s enchanted apples, but contrariness is one of the qualities of the goddess. In going through a narrow pass, Herakles sees an apple on the ground and tries to smash it with his club. Every time he strikes the apple it grows, until it completely blocks his path. He is dumbfounded and cannot think how to proceed. Athena tells him this is Strife: leave it alone, it stays small. Fight it, and it grows big. The hero learns striking out blindly and violently does no good.
The older, perhaps wiser, Hesiod says that Eris has two sides. One is awful and cruel, but the other is not. Her kinder side is no less energetic, but what she bestirs is action among the shiftless and aimless, and what she brings is change.
When Eris appears:
Do not borrow trouble. Imagining potential conflict scenarios floods your system with stress hormones. This makes you touchy and so makes trouble more likely.
If you fight fire with fire a conflagration will be at hand.
Denial of conflict or anger may smooth things over for a while, but it will then burst out with more force, damage, and danger. Make more peace for yourself in the future by acting now.
Rage cannot be reasoned with, but it may be deflected. Humor or energetic activity may help.
If you are fighting with yourself, nothing can be achieved. Determine which parts of yourself are clamoring because they need a hearing and which just want to stir up trouble.

At 400x magnification you will be able to see bacteria, blood cells and protozoans swimming around. At 1000x magnification you will be able to see these same items, but you will be able to see them even closer…

Siren of Air ~ Lilith (Reversed)
Babylonian Goddess of Darkness
Be seduced by the strange to grow your mind.
Lilith spreads her shadow over her own origins. She is Sumerian and Babylonian, she is Jewish and European. She is a powerful goddess, a spirit of the wind, an evil succubus. Her oldest known titles include Maid of Desolation and Maiden of Darkness. Lil means wind or spirit. Sexual female demons called lilitu appear in Sumerian writings from 3000 BCE. In Christian and Jewish medieval folklore, Lilith is a sexual vampire, a succubus, delighting in the defilement of men by causing them wet dreams.
Lilith the winged storm demon represents the goddess Inanna’s fears that she must conquer in the Sumerian tale of the Huluppu Tree. This is a sacred tree Inanna plants in her garden and tends until she comes of age, when she must cut it down to make her bed and throne. But the Dark Maid has made her home in the tree trunk, her bird has made a nest in its branches, and her snake has curled among its roots. In Hebrew legend, Lilith is called Night Owl and Screech Owl. She refuses to have sex beneath Adam and is cursed to give birth to one hundred demon children each day. Both of these stories end with her fleeing into the desert to find peace.
Even in a single ancient depiction, Lilith defies a simple definition. With her wings, taloned feet, and dire owl companions, she is a demon of the night, reflecting the mysteries of dream and death. Her jewels and her crown, the shugurra crown of the steppe composed of multiple horns, are all symbols of the Queen of Heaven and Earth. Her frontal nakedness sings with the power of sexuality and fertility. The rod and rings in her hands speak of universal laws and principles. Her gaze is direct, her hands are uplifted in a holy gesture. She holds sway over realms of violence, fear, and mystery. She holds sovereignty over sexuality and all forces of nature, over the complete, magical processes of life and death.
When Lilith appears:
In darkness, fears and monsters multiply. Use your imagination to entertain yourself, not harm yourself. Know where you are pushing the boundaries about what is reasonable, even while knowing that some things will never make sense.
In darkness, power hides. Know it, face it, release it, work it. Quit hiding from yourself all that you are and all that you feel. It is time to quit compromising your soul.
Dark desires do not have to be acted out in illicit ways to be useful for creation or motivation. Denial does not illuminate the darkness.
In this world, sex and death come intertwined. They exist one with another to bring endless variety to life.

Today's Card
Explorer of Fire (Reversed)
The Explorer of Fire spins her flaming orbs through the darkness, making a pattern of dazzling light that arcs, loops, and falls. Her movements are as sensuous and sinuous as a serpent, and just as mesmerizing. She has practiced long hours to make her movements look effortless. But the skill of fire spinning requires her to be balanced, coordinated, flexible, and daring. She wears the mask of a fire goddess; in her trance state, perhaps she becomes one. As the flames whoosh! around her, she enters the silence at the center of the circle. Fire dancers say that none of them escapes being burned at least once. Fire consumes and transforms. Fire is dangerous, erotic, and hot. The fire spinner’s ally is Salamander, who offers the gift of assisting us through our transformations or re-energizing us when life seems devoid of passion.
When you get this card in a reading . . .
Someone is playing with fire. What fast-paced, high-energy situations are being ignited? Taking risks energizes. This is a chance to entertain and dazzle. Share your enthusiasm and let the sparks fly. Creativity and eroticism can revitalize something that has become stale.
The Explorer inspires others by taking a bold stand. She is willing to ignore possible danger, moving quickly and fearlessly on important issues that she is passionate about. Be bold! Now is the time to take courageous action.
When you read the Shadow side of this card . . .
Find the still center in the midst of the fire dance. Beware of a volatile temper or situation. Someone may be headstrong, or lack self-discipline, making them more reckless than courageous. There could be a tendency to get charged up about something, only to let the fire fizzle when something or someone else comes along. Is the fastest or most exciting way necessarily the best way to move forward?
Affirmation
I dare to be transformed by the flames of passion and creativity.
