DAILY POWER ANIMAL
Green Woman spirit | Honor your fertility in all things.
Green Woman has magically floated into your life to remind you of the energy of fertility–fertility for a project, a garden, a love affair, or conception. If there is fertile ground, it WILL bear fruit. Green Woman encourages you to practice your own brand of magic and to appreciate the talents you have that will, in the near future, give birth to a magical creation.
Robin Hood, Peter Pan, the Horned God….most of us have heard of these versions of the Green Man. But where has the Green Woman been portrayed? Snow White? She was a nature Goddess, but she knew all the domesticated chores of a housewife for the Seven Dwarves. The Wicked Witch of the West was literally green, but she was, well, WICKED. Housewife and househusband chores are important. Sometimes wickedness serves a purpose…..But, we are not limited as women to Mother/Evil Eve Temptress. And those archetypes have been horribly traumatic, limiting, and dysfunctional for a very, very long time. It’s time to rewrite the stories.
Little Red Riding Hood, the young girl who ventured out into the forest, was threatened with being devoured by the Wolf, the ultimate symbol of wilderness. In Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, the Wild Woman Archetype is explored as a vital and vastly under-represented aspect of the feminine psyche. For SHE, the Green Woman is the one who inspires feminine sovereignty. She is also the one more aligned with Lilith, the one who was actually cast out of the garden because she wasn’t domesticated enough for Adam. Prior to that, she had been his equal. Wolves in the wilderness act as indicator species to maintain healthy checks and balances in ecological systems. The re-introduction of wolves into Yellowstone Park or other public lands has proven to dramatically and positively alter the landscape and species balance.
The undomesticated part of our soul that is a Guardian of nature is also the driving force behind our creative, animal instincts. Just another aspect of our being that has been swept under the rug for a few thousand years while we emphasized the cerebral realms, scientific explorations, and Godly, male-worshipping spiritual pursuits. While that has brought us to amazing new heights, simply put, we are out of balance and the way we treat women around the world and the planet is representative of this imbalance.
We are facing the destruction of our planetary home. The Green Woman is ESSENTIAL to ensuring our planetary home provides clean food and water, and abundance and beauty for future generations, as well as for the restoration of our human psyche.
DAILY ORACLE CARD
PAGE OF SWORDS
The Page of Swords card is representative of a person in one’s life who shows an abundance of energy. It also resonates well with the spirit of the Green Woman. With wind-blown trees, turbulent clouds and their tossed hair, a youth stands proudly on a rocky precipice. This energetic youth has a sword in her hands. Her expression is one of determination, and perhaps a little bit of defiance – she seems ready to pounce at the slightest word.
Bright and alert, the Page of Swords is someone who never seems to run out of ideas. She is curious, always asking questions, and gifted with a sharp tongue and quick wit to match. Her aptitude for language also makes her an incredible communicator, and with her love of ideas, you may find her always engaged in some passionate debate.
Her aptitude for language also makes her an incredible communicator, and with her love of ideas, you may find her always engaged in some passionate debate.
She seems to thrive on almost a kind of nervous energy, as if there was too much inside her to say, the wheels in her head always turning. As a news bearer, she may bring news that is represented by her suit – particularly, gossip, legal matters, agreements. Alternatively, you may find yourself required to use her energy – be alert, keep your eyes open and stay sharp and vigilant.
This card may indicate that you are very eager to execute an idea that you have been having or a project that you cooked up just recently. You are quite passionate about it, and you cannot wait to share the progress with others. Compared to your passionate heart, time seems to be standing still. It is time to be talkative. When a Page of Swords appears in a reading, it signifies communication and sharing of ideas. Whether it is someone else’s ideas or yours, it is time to open up and talk about them as long as it is a constructive.
JANUARY 2023 LUNAR CALENDAR
1/14/2023 LAST QUARTER IN LIBRA: You might have a strong need for balance and harmony now. You probably desire to keep things nice rather than venturing into fundamental questions in order not to disturb the peace. You must learn to share your good and bad feelings. Do not be afraid to be who you really are, despite what is expected of you.
1/21/2023 NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN: Your relationship with your emotions might be more complicated because Moon in Aquarius has a strong need for emotional freedom. However, when you are in a group of people, it is easier for you to understand your feelings and free yourself from negative emotions such as fear, anger, and jealousy.
1/28/2023 FIRST QUARTER IN TAURUS: Your safety depends on the need for stability, which is not easy to satisfy now. You have to learn to accept change as part of your life. The basic problem is finding your own self-respect in order to ensure that you do not mistakenly seek it in material things. When you accept yourself for who you are, it will become easier for you to find peace and tranquility in the outside world.
