Well, here is the card for our weekend, and it would appear we need to watch our Ps and Qs. The holidays can bring on a lot of stress, so be aware if you need a break or start to snap at someone who doesn’t deserve it. (I’ve already fallen prey to that!)
Have a great weekend!
The Frost King
This is a complicated figure, The Frost King. In the Russian folktale about Father Frost, he can be very generous and helpful to those who are kind and polite. As is the case in many similar folktales, he can also leave someone for death if they are rude or lazy.
Here, we see him peering through a cozy window, his touch leaving beautiful patterns of frost on the window. With him are many little frost fairies and small winter creatures to help him with his plans. He sometimes likes to play tricks on people, but not always. Perhaps our card says to be our better selves today in order to avoid the tricks of the Frost King and instead reap his rewards? What do you think of the Frost King’s visit?
