Yarrow play

Tonight I thought I would try something different with the DPO. Rather than a big reading or reading anything specific, I thought I would just ask the deck for a card I can focus on right now.
But, to be different I took out all the cards that Ive seen recently in my readings, so I had a pile of mostly 'unknown' cards to me. Gave it a shuffle and I had Yarrow.

Now Im tired and its been a long day, but for whatever reason the book interpretations just didnt work for me. There wasnt a feeling of 'aha' and Im too tired to go hunting in my other books for another book meaning that will fit.

So, in my half sleepy state I picked up the card and just closed my eyes thinking of the plant, of what I know of it, the shape of the leaves etc.

'Arrow' it said.
'Yes I know your Yarrow, how'd ya do?' I say
'Nooo not yarrow, arrow'
'eh?'
And then I had a few flashes of images of arrows, of arrow heads and fast flying energy. There was a mention about learning to 'read the arrows'
'Life is energy, and energy tends to fly around like arrows. So you need to read the arrows to know where the energy is a)coming from b)going to c)avoid it or step in its way'
How interesting!
'So' I say 'is this why people picked yarrow to make divination tools out off? To read the arrows?'
'Would you say the same to a tree? Asking if all it is is the sum of what someone makes out of it like a table or a chair?'
'Erm, no, I guess not. Sorry'
'Thats ok'

and then it went.

Blimey. LOL. So reading the arrows, lots of energy flying about. Sometimes I guess we need to be careful of what we say or do, because that energy flies out to the universe and somewhere along the line it'll hit into someone or something. Its funny I was doing a reading with another deck and got a message about Cupid and his arrows.. anyways, back to DPO.
So we can divine to find the arrows, where arrows would go if we hit them in one direction or another, whether we want to step into the path of an arrow or not.
I suppose with all these arrows around we might want to consider making a shield, or having a good cleanse so that the old arrows dont affect the changes of the new ones. Like a snake changing its skin, or putting on a good few layers or white base coat before painting a wall. We need to be free from our old energy impacts before we can make way for new ones.

How interesting!

  1. That's an excellent way to get to know the cards you haven't had the chance to work with yet!
