The other day I wrote about letting my personal Chariot, the metaphoric mode of transportation that takes me on life's journey, go astray. As I usually do when I need information I don't have about what to do in some area of my life, I turned to the tarot. One of my little reading quirks is that when a card falls out of the deck while shuffling, I always pick it up and consider it as part of the reading. It's usually the most important card, the universe's way of bringing something particular to my attention. What card popped out during this particular reading? The Chariot, of course. There are, as I've said numerous times, no coincidences.

The Chariot, The Fey Tarot

Lately, I've been doing most of my reading with The Fey Tarot. Its images are beautiful and compelling and I like the sensibility the Fey bring to considering what the cards mean.

Here is what The Fey Tarot book says about The Chariot:

The Sentence

Run fast, on roads and bridges, crossing the earth, prey to haste, to reach a place in time.

The Fey that runs with the chariot is sustained by her magic and from this magic velocity and purpose comes. Willingness, knowledge and wisdom, dominion and power, all come to nothing if a purpose remains unmoved and is not guided or held by reins.

The reflections of triumph and success are in the river that the chariot crosses, but it has already passed by.

Reflections

A card of movement and audacity, it shows intention. Without aims or desires, man is as empty as a deserted road. But if he gives his real nature a direction, this acquires form and each step brings him nearer.

Without purpose of action, man is lost, passive, waiting, but in the Chariot this waiting ends and he comes to the road.

These passages address so closely the feelings and impressions I expressed the other day that it gave me goose bumps to read them. The universe does have its ways of getting its messages across!
