As you step onto the Path of Love, the forest around you seems to brighten with an inviting glow. The air is filled with a sense of warmth and possibility. You walk with purpose, guided by the positive energy that surrounds you.
After a short walk, the Queen of Wands appears before you, embodying grace, confidence, and vibrant enthusiasm. A small black cat trails her vibrant robes. Her presence is both commanding and comforting, radiating an aura of passionate creativity and self-assuredness.
The Queen of Wands smiles warmly as she greets you. “Welcome to the Path of Love,” she says, her voice infused with encouragement. “I am here to remind you about embracing your inner strength and creativity. It’s a call to harness your passion and channel it into your current situation. Find a way to lead, if you can. Connect with the part of yourself that is bold, innovative, and confident in your approach.”
She gestures for you to walk beside her as you continue down the path. “As you journey forward,” she continues, “consider how this energy aligns with what you are experiencing.”
PAUSE AND WRITE:
In which areas of your life do you feel the most creative? The strongest?
When the Queen says to “harness your passion” what comes up for you?
Think of a time when you were bold, innovative, and confident. Is it something you desire to experience again?
The Queen of Wands pauses and turns to face you. “Reflect on this energy and how it might be influencing your journey. Embrace the positive aspects of your situation and let them empower you.”
She offers you a moment to ponder her words.
As you walk along the Path of Love, the surroundings become even more vibrant, reflecting the energy you’ve been encouraged to embrace. There are giant yellow flowers and beautiful birds high in the trees. The scent around you is invigorating, like citrus and pine, and you feel more confident with each step.
“Before I depart,” says the queen, “I want you to ask your guides for insight on your journey, too. Take a deep breath, focus on embodying your confident and creative Self, and ask your guides to join us.”
PAUSE. Reflect on your inquiry and ask your guides to join you. When you feel their presence, continue.
As you continue along the path without the queen, the forest around you seems to hush in anticipation. The trees, with their ancient trunks and whispering leaves, part to reveal a clearing bathed in a soft, ethereal glow.
Seated upon a bed of moss and surrounded by the gentle hum of nature is the wise sage of the forest. The sage is cloaked in robes that shimmer with the rich, earthy hues of the woodland—deep greens, muted browns, and hints of golden sunlight that dance across the fabric. With eyes that hold the depth of countless seasons, the sage meets your gaze with a profound sense of understanding.
In that moment, you realize that this figure embodies the presence of your inner guides, offering you a bridge to the wisdom quietly supporting you all along. You feel a gentle yet powerful recognition as if every part of you is being seen and acknowledged with an intimate wisdom that transcends words.
The sage gestures for you to sit beside them on a large, moss-covered rock. The surrounding forest seems to hush, as if the trees themselves are leaning in to listen. The sage’s voice, calm and resonant, begins to speak.
“I see what you have been writing about with the Queen’s guidance. Let us delve deeper into your exploration with an important question,” the Sage says in an almost whispered voice.
The sage produces a scroll where you can see three questions.
“Choose the one that you’d like to explore and take a moment to notices what surfaces in your psyche:”
1. “What role does the idea of success play in your current problem or area you’re exploring?”
2. “How might your confidence level affect your choices moving forward? Is it effecting them now?”
3. “What are you most passionate about when you think of an ideal outcome?”
PAUSE AND WRITE.
As you finish reflecting and jotting down your thoughts, the sage rises gracefully from the moss-covered rock, and moves with a quiet, deliberate grace, reaching into the folds of their robe. They produce two cards, each one exquisitely crafted and adorned with intricate designs that catch the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees.
The sage presents these cards to you with a gentle smile, their eyes filled with encouragement. “Now that you have reflected on your journey and considered the questions,” they say, “choose one of these cards. Each card represents a different aspect of your path and offers unique guidance.”
“You cannot see the cards at this moment,” the sage continues, “but let your choice come from a place that embodies what feels right and true for you at this moment. Trust your intuition and let it guide your decision.”
As you reach out to select a card, take a moment to connect with your inner feelings and the insights you have gained. The sage’s calm presence and the serene forest environment seem to support your decision-making process.
