As most of you know, I pull three cards each day and post the one that has the strongest energy. Today’s card is Eight of Fire – Ginger, but close behind it was Eight of Water – Valerian. The Eight cards in this deck represent drawing deep on the Earth and yourself to stay the course for something that might be difficult. We have accepted a calling and have come to a challenging part in the journey – but you have the ability to make it through.
As these two cards are on opposite sides of the spectrum, I would say there are some of you that need to ignore the Ginger card and seek the rest and recuperation that Valerian provides.
Blessings!
Eight of Fire – Ginger
Adapt swiftly to unexpected changes; you can handle the heat; act quickly the inspiration strikes
Something cooks on every burner in a busy kitchen. A sauté pan is alive with flames; vegetables fly into the air from another pan; a large pot bubbles over with broth. A tray of onions, limes, and ginger root is precariously perched on the edge of the stove. The walls are filled to the brim with spices, herbs, and culinary supplies.
Meaning: Inspiration comes from all directions. Can you handle so many things at once? Like the busy stove in this kitchen, everything begs for your attention. Change is happening quickly. Swift action is needed or you may become overwhelmed. Ginger warms the body and fires up energy. When creative possibilities spin all about you, fast, focused movement is key. This is not the time to pause and consider but instead to respond with urgency. Ginger is spicy medicine, but you can handle the heat.
Crafting with the Eight of Fire
• Build your resilience and adapt to unexpected changes: use spice ginger in cooking.
• Make ginger elixir; take it to keep the flames of inspiration burning.
• Speed up a desired outcome by crafting a magic ginger honey pot.
