The Fool and his Journey Through the Swords ....

The Fool and The Journey through the Swords....

The Fool awakens to find himself standing on the edge of a cliff... ohhh he thinks to himself, that was close.   I was about to step into the unknown , that was scary... I am not sure if I am ready to take that chance?   I feel stagnant, stuck and unsure I want to begin this new journey of the mind... Do I want to open up to my intuition? Am I able to truly express who I am with communicating exactly what I am thinking?  He turns to walk away and discovers ..... A Man standing ahead of him holding a stang, there is snow around him and he is of an unknown tribe.. There is a sense of being Ancient and very knowledgeable within this man... The Fool looks at this man and asks who he is and what message does he have for him so he can step ahead on his journey... The Man replies... “I am the Ace of Swords, I speak of clarity within your journey.” The Fool asks” If i have clarity in my journey what does that mean for me?” The Ace of Swords reply, “ It means you can express who you are truthfully, you can begin to work with your intuition much more clearly!”   The Fool thinks about this for a moment before deciding he wants to take the journey fully with clarity... The Fool takes that step into the unknown and see’s  a Man sitting within a Temple Garden.  The Fool comes and sits with this man watching him,  as he notices the man’s eyes are closed.  Suddenly the Man speaks, “ I am the 2 of Swords and I speak of balancing the mind through contemplation, mediation and reflection.. knowing that when one is no longer cluttered the journey becomes clear within its self. “  The Fool decides to sit with the man a wee bit longer and contemplate what has happened and is happening and what may happen. The Man speaks again, “Do not contemplate what may happen but reflect on what is happening right now. See the results now has happened.” The Fool replies “ I cannot visualize what I do not know.” The Man replies “ But anything is possible “ The Fool stands and walks away with a “Thank You” ...

As he continues his journey he sees a lot of deer running fast past him in the opposite direction. He looks up and sees the Eagle flying away .... he realizes that suddenly there has been an unexpected event and the movement forward from the animals shows the affect this has on the Animal kingdom....as he understands the ripple effect it has had as he notices a variety of animals following suit .... As the Fool continues his walk through Nature he comes upon an entrance to a cave, he walks down the steps he discovers a man sitting on a throne surrounded by his treasures and the light of candles . A Sword sits across his lap .The fool notices because the sword is across this man’s lap it is stable in it’s environment .  The Man speaks to the Fool, “
I am the four of Swords and I speak of stable minds through decluttering the foundations of extra debris .....”  The fool sits at the man’s feet and thinks deeply about this before standing up and taking clear steps forward. He moves back up the stairs and into the open to disturb the sea gulls out into the sky, giving them the freedom to understand the conflict that lay within them . Not realizing they had the choice in how they could overcome their own inner conflicts... by dancing, the dancing  of their mind was the mental gift given by Spirit to shake through the depths of the inner confusion...

The Fool walked  towards the sea and realized the ghosts that were revealed within .... the understanding in how these ghosts affected himself mentally....

The Fool walked away from the ghost ship and walked into an inn... Inside he discovers a woman dancing, revealing more than he expected...The Fool realized she had ....

The freedom to be their true selves ......to let themselves be revealed.

He decides he needed to move forward on his journey  as though he was close to discovering the truth of his own journey..He walks until he comes to the outside of the city limits.. he hears a lot of murmurs , whispering a message.... He steps slowly inside the City walls and discovers Men sitting in front of scrolls reading a sacred text.... What is this? He slowly discovers the men are preparing for a sacred ritual .....

 In Understanding the sacredness within the journey.... they prepare for a sense of completeness, a wholeness... In understanding this concept, they release an aspect of their pathworking that had kept them imprisoned within their thoughts... The Fool realized he had been restricted by his thoughts in the past...and was ready for new beginnings but who was to help him understand his own journey fully....

He looks above his head and sees a Gargoyle on the city wall looking around him to acknowledge the truth of what is.  

looking at the field just outside the City Wall he sees a knight racing ahead, suddenly he sees the horse stop as the Knight holds above his head a sword ready for battle....The fool thinks to himself the freedom that lies beyond the walls , it seems impossible for many but now he sees the choices he makes mentally will allow the confusion to disappear.  The Fool feels drawn to step away from the city and deep into the forest of Enchantment, he feels the magick, the sorcery of the darkness move through the light.... as he walks he comes across a woman, an owl  and a cat .... Without a word he understands the inner truth of clairvoyance. He feels the truth revealed with wisdom, as the independent woman shows him her psychic abilities through the transformation of the light.

This Woman shows the fool the importance of nurturing the mind  before being able to be thought of as a deep thinker, one of intelligence A Man who has resurrected his true destiny through logic thinking . planning and organizational skills.  

  The Fool reaches the top of the mound and sits with his back to the tower and contemplates what he has reached  and wonders what is next on his journey ......

Blessed Be!...
