My Actual Career:

Reclaiming The Words That Were Taken By Colonizers

for fun:

“You wrote me a lovely letter”

is the exact same word as

“you tattooed something on me”

because our language is event-based (verb-based to you). we say “you wrote a lovely something to me”; we would only add that it was a letter for clarification.

word structure:

you-lovely-writing-for/to/at/on-me

my very favorite tidbit:

the root word for tattoo always contains the adjective lovely - a tattoo is always a lovely writing because language is where ancestral knowledge hides to survive

Bridging the Generations: Ancestral Work in Tarot (+ A Tarot Spread) 🔮 🌙

A universal connection beyond bloodlines

Ancestor work is a practice open to anyone, transcending cultural or familial boundaries. While family ancestors hold a special place in this connection, our ancestral lineage extends beyond blood ties. We share collective ancestors—the broader human family, and even the interconnected web of life itself. These include the pioneers, the innovators, the ancient civilizations, and the guardians of this planet. Engaging with ancestor work allows us to tap into this rich tapestry of wisdom, drawing on the collective experiences and insights of those who came before us, offering profound guidance for our journeys today.

The veil between worlds: tarot as a divinatory channel

At its heart, the tarot is a mirror reflecting the collective unconscious, a reservoir of archetypal energies that resonate through time and space. Within this tapestry of symbolism, the archetypes encapsulate the essence of human experience—the triumphs, the challenges, and the perennial wisdom passed down through generations. When we approach the tarot with reverence and intention, it becomes a powerful tool for forging connections with our ancestors.

Ancestral work in Tarot is a profound practice that begins with a heartfelt intention.

Prior to a reading, find a quiet space and take a moment to connect with the energy of your ancestors. Invite them into the space, envisioning their presence around you. As you draw the cards, keep a keen eye on any specific symbols, images, or recurring themes that seem to echo with a sense of familial familiarity. These subtle cues are often the whispered messages of your ancestors, offering a glimpse into the intricate tapestry of ancestral patterns, potential areas of lineage healing, and even personal messages of support and love.

As we set the cards in motion, we create a sacred space, inviting the energies of our ancestors to converge with ours. The tarot serves as a divinatory channel, a conduit through which insights, messages, and wisdom from the ancestral realm can flow. Each draw of the cards is a dialogue, a communion with those who have gone before us.

The wisdom of the generations: interpreting ancestral messages

Imagine, for instance, you draw the Four of Pentacles. This card, with its imagery of a figure holding onto their possessions, could be a gentle nudge from your ancestors to explore your relationship with material security in the context of your family’s history. Perhaps there are tales of resilience or lessons about resourcefulness that echo through the generations, waiting for you to uncover. This card may be an invitation to reflect on how these stories have shaped your approach to abundance.

On the other hand, if the Queen of Cups graces your reading, her nurturing presence might carry echoes of a particular ancestor known for their compassion and emotional depth. This card could serve as a reminder to tap into the wellspring of empathy that flows through your lineage, offering solace and insight in times of emotional turbulence.

If The Tower card makes its presence felt, it could signal a powerful ancestral message of breaking free from old, limiting beliefs or structures. This card may prompt you to investigate instances in your family history where radical transformation or upheaval led to growth and renewal, encouraging you to embrace change.

Ultimately, the power of ancestral work lies in the intimate connection it fosters between past, present, and future.

Healing ancestral wounds: navigating generational patterns

Delving into ancestral work within the realm of tarot unveils a profound opportunity for transformative healing. As the cards lay bare the energies at play, we may find ourselves face-to-face with intricate patterns that have woven their way down through the generations. These patterns, silent but powerful, may have subtly influenced family dynamics, shaped beliefs, or even played a role in personal struggles. It’s here, in the dance of the tarot, that we’re granted a unique perspective—a bird’s eye view into the tapestry of our lineage.

Consider, for instance, the appearance of the Temperance card. Its imagery of the blending of elements may be an invitation to explore the delicate balance within your family, the interplay of various personalities, or even the fusion of diverse cultural influences that have left their mark. This card gently nudges us to consider how these elements have contributed to the generational story and what harmonious transformations might be beckoning.

Likewise, the appearance of the Five of Swords might illuminate an aspect of family history where conflicts or power struggles were more pronounced. By recognizing this pattern, we’re empowered to navigate present-day situations with a newfound awareness, breaking free from the grip of generational repetition.

Through the tarot’s guidance, we embark on a journey of recognition and release. We unearth these patterns not with blame, but with a compassionate understanding—a recognition that we stand at the precipice of transformation. By identifying and acknowledging these patterns, we take the first step towards healing. In doing so, we not only liberate ourselves from their grasp but also pave the way for a legacy of healing that ripples through time. We can identify these patterns and work towards their transformation, releasing them from our lineage and fostering healing not only for ourselves but also for future generations.

Final thoughts

Ancestral work in Tarot is a profound testament to the interconnectedness of all souls across time. Through the cards, we bridge the gap between generations, recognizing the enduring legacy of wisdom and love that flows through our veins. As we navigate life’s journey, we carry with us the strength and guidance of those who have walked before us, their presence a source of comfort and inspiration. In the sacred space of Tarot, we find a sanctuary where the wisdom of ages whispers through the cards, reminding us that we are never truly alone on this journey of life.
