Ancestor of Exile
This is not so much about being exiled from a place or a group. If for example, there is a falling out with colleagues at work and they no longer invite you to lunch. It could be a feeling of being exiled from the group when you are the new person in the team and for now you simply do not fit in with everyone else.
No, this has to do with your inner self. A feeling of lacking something. Perhaps you are no longer confident in your abilities, you have lost faith in yourself. You no longer appreciate your achievements; you no longer feel you can celebrate your successes because the success does not seem to be large enough.
You must always celebrate your successes, no matter how big or small. If you are part of a group, you must always celebrate the group success.
This card comes to you now to seek out the wounds that are preventing you from celebrating success or recognizing you have achieved a goal, no matter how small or indirect to your feelings of what should be celebrated.
Be kind to yourself as you walk your life path and never leave a wound of being exiled from your achievements go untended. Recognize and learn from success and let it heal the wounds of the challenge and upset.
Spirit of Truth
In the long-ago past, truth meant honesty to the family group and to the tribe. In the modern world, it means truth to the group we work with and the family group, no matter how large or small. It can mean the truth in telling a cashier they gave us too much in our change.
As we walk our life path, truth means being true to ourselves. Recognizing when we are out of tune with the world and our inner self. Have we been truthful in our appreciation of our successes and failures, have we claimed success from another and denied them recognition for their efforts in doing so?
Being true to ourselves and within ourselves comes before anything. There is a feeling that this card comes to remind you of this. Now is a time of inner reflection on what truth means to you and how you relate to it and your spirit as you travel your life path.
