Parting the Mists

This card is beautiful and significant. It reminds us of what is truly important, the thing many wise men and women has told us to focus on, and that is love. We are all energy, but it is up to us whether that energy is helpful, kind, and loving – or if it is concerned with the material things and ego.

ETERNAL LOVE

Love is love is love and it transcends physical death

When the body leaves us
And our souls are above
Our possessions no longer
Nothing remains
but the intertwining of love

All of us are the product of millennia of love. Our parent’s parent’s parents, our ancestors by blood and ritual all have in some way created the DNA that waves throughout our bodies. Love, in fact, powers life and death.

When most of us first encounter death in our lives, we experience grieving and in some ways that feeling could be described as an absence of love and the absence of that person or being. But the kind of love that is often shared between family members, friends, and lovers, separated only by physical death, is the kind that poets wax lyrical about, that is truly eternal and transcends death.

Should you choose this card, you are being reminded that love is the most power force in the universe. It is more powerful than death itself. Love lingers. It leaves its own legacy and we should be aware of this every day that we live. For those that are ready for and desiring of a partner, it also indicates that a significant love is close at hand and to be ready to open up to this new experience.
