What insightful card as we head into the weekend. Light a fire and kick the tires, as we say around here, and gather your energies and people (digitally or energetically for some of us) and make something happen. This card is a call to creativity, fun, and magic!
I’m still learning this deck, but I really love it. Perhaps my love of herbalism and wildcrafting is a big part of why, but the artist Joanna Powell Colbert is familiar to me from years of seeing her work in Sagewoman magazine and other places. The deck also separate by the four elements rather than traditional Tarot suites, and the book has organized the pip cards by number, rather than doing all the earth together, air together, etc. Check out the three cards I pulled today to get a sense of the variety of feel and energy from this deck:
OK, now on to the main card for today. Blessings, everyone. 🙂
Six of Fire – Nasturtium
Celebrate yourself and others; call the circle, make some magic; glitter and spice magnify power and joy
A table is set for making spells with friends. Large beeswax pillars wait to be adorned. Red and gold glitter spills onto the table. Nasturtium flowers – crimson, orange, and yellow – pepper the table. A candle is lit in the center of the holy mess mark the beginning of sacred time.
Meaning: Raise a little power for healing and transformation! Cheer on your friends and praise their accomplishments, as they do for you. Drawing bees and nourishing soil, wilding growing nasturtium is a vibrant plant that brings life to the garden. Your ability to bring people together creates magic. Claim your place as a community leader. Gather circle. Creativity ignites creativity. Nasturtium blooms in many colors; let your personal flair shine. Dance to your own beat while dancing in harmony with others. Nasturtium vinegar adds flavor with a kick; celebrate your accomplishments with pizazz.
Crafting with Six of Fire
• Add Nasturtium petals to spell candles to increase their energy and strength
• Make Nasturtium oxymel spritzers to toast your accomplishments
• Magnify joy at your next gathering: serve goat cheese mixed with nasturtium petals and leaves
