The Maine Oracle - Two Ears One Mouth

Here is a reading for June 11, 2020, here the "Restraint" card suggests holding your tongue during trying times until a situation becomes clear. In times of great change and conflict it may be best to assume nothing.

 

The Greek Philosopher Epictetus wrote:

“We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.”

 

Which brings us to...

"Education" as the way forward. Here is an opportunity to reassess one's world view.  A person with an open mind and an open heart is a practical person.  

A practical person does not fight facts.

 

Going forward, armed with the truth and a better understanding of one's fellows, a person returns to "The Hive", which always hums along at its best when the occupants work together for the common good.

Don't Move That Mountain


Staying at home last week felt just a bit more difficult than previous weeks. 
I felt just a bit more unsettled, a bit wearier.

I pulled three cards for guidance from three different divination decks.
From left to right I drew the sequence which is described below. 


 
The Past   “The Hive” from my own deck, The Maine Oracle.

Familiar workplace and social gatherings are now a memory.



The Present Passing  “The Magician” reversed is from The Rider Waite Tarot Deck.

The new normal is anything but; the tables have been turned. It is time to pick up the pieces. The Magician is the alchemist, bringing together resources and clever devices to fashion a new way of life. Cash, inspiration, unity of purpose and tenacity are all required.



The Future  “The Mountain” is from the Lenormand Oracle.

This card brought to mind a gospel song, “Lord, Don’t Move That Mountain” by Inez Andrews. I always say that I am not particularly religious or attached to any rigid notions of an All Powerful Deity. That said, I believe that there is great inspiration to be found in the following lyrics:



“Oh Lord you don't have to move the mountain
 But give me the strength to climb
 And Lord, don't take away my stumbling blocks
 But lead me all around”


 Stay strong and stay safe.
