Thank you.
Ancestor of Memory
Memory helps define us and guide us. That is because it allows us to see where we have been and to integrate the lessons, we have learned so that we have an ever-changing perspective that allows us to develop with each new challenge.
It is the collective memory of our family and our tribe. Now that we have moved well beyond the ability of our own memories and the collective memory of family or tribe we move forward with writing and more recently computers to collect, categorize and organize memory and shared events.
This card comes to you this week to spend some time contemplating and gathering your thoughts and memories. To appreciate your life and all the challenges and learning that make you who you are.
In gathering these memories and seeing where you have been and what has happened in your life, you will see where you are going and what it is you have yet to start. In looking at what has to start, you will prioritize the next stage of your life.
Be open to it and welcome the challenges and changes with open arms.
Ancestor of Skill
Skill is the ability to do something. This card is a representation of half man and half deer. Our early ancestors learned much from the world around them, especially the animals. They were open to learning new skills and habits from everything around them.
As the Ancestor of Memory asks you to contemplate where you have been and where you are going as well as where you have yet to go. The Ancestor of Skill asks you to be open to new learning new skills from all sources, not just the ones you have used so far in your life.
As you contemplate your life and the skills you have, look inside, we all have skills we are not using or discovered. These abilities may require time and effort to refine and make completely useful to us, but it is time well worth it and part of our life path.
