Let’s get into it!

Day 5: How can I use, or embrace my natural environment to help me with my current journey?

Cards pulled: The Pathfinder (mirror card Page of Pentacles), The Phoenix (mirror card the Hierophant), 5 of Birds (mirror card 5 of Swords).

The pathfinder in this deck is the one who works hard to find his way through life and through his struggles and problems, and as such, I think is encouraging me to keep working hard at school and at work (the systems in my life may be referenced here with the Phoneix), but not to push myself past the point of no return (5 of swords). I have to remember to slow down and take it easy whenever I can.

The deck used here is the Cosma Vision Oracle from James R Eads. I think this particular deck is absolutely stunning, especially with the navy blue foiling around the edges. It can be a bit tricky for a novice to read because the suits are different, the court cards (King, Queen, Page and Knight) are their own suit with different names, and the major arcana has changed as well. That being said, the little guidebook is incredibly helpful, and if you have a basic understanding of RWS systems, this isn’t so hard to follow. It’s a *teeny weeny* bit expensive, but the website often runs sales, and if you keep an eye on it, you can snag it for a discounted price.

What cards did you pull? What do you think about decks with different major arcana representations? Tell me in the comments!

Happy Reading 💛💛
