Today’s Tarot Card: The Hierophant

Today the cards called me out on my BS 😽 and I totally deserved it!  I asked about my health. How should I focus on getting healthy?  What should I do? Now, I know what I need to do, but I asked anyway. I pulled the Hierophant. The White Sage Tarot’s Hierophant, says use better judgment. It says you hold the answers deep inside you.  Now, I don’t need to tap into my higher power to know that I shouldn’t have eaten a pint of Ben and Jerry’s for dinner last night (we’ve all done that though, right?!),  or that I shouldn’t have skipped the gym this week. But, yes, I asked anyway, and got a gentle scolding in return.

Was I “testing “the tarot? If I’m honest, yes. I pulled a card hidden waaay down in the middle of the cards. It didn’t stick out or call attention to itself in any way.  I had to slide it out from the bottom, and I got the answer I needed (and already knew) just the same. Sure, I was being a brat, but the tarot presented me with the advice I need.

I know how what I should do: I should eat healthier foods and exercise to get and to keep my A1-C down. I know that a pint of Ben and Jerry’s was a spectacularly bad choice. (Bad but delicious. It was Chocolate Therapy, in case you were wondering).   Sometimes I sabotage myself by buying ice cream or a frozen pizza for dinner because I’m too lazy to cook. I know it’s wrong but I do it anyway. Yeah…I need to stop doing that.

The image on the White Sage deck is so very different from the traditional Hierophant. This beautiful fawn is napping peacefully, safe and secure.  No worries. She’s presenting me with the silver key so I can  hold the key to my success in my own hands. The message is loud and clear: “You got this—as long as you do what you’re supposed to do!”
