Path, Playful Page, Swamp

The Path card is about time and distance. As a short path, it refers to an emotion that does not endure for long. It is pronounced but temporary.

There is a touch of the unconscious, the abode of the Gods. We have allowed the unconscious to come to the conscious. That's what readings are all about.

We are on the short path. We can only see a short distance.

What lies beyond? We have to be in the present to get there.

It is a time for play and downtime. Oh what possibilities.

Looks to me like the page is dancing. Dancing sounds pretty good.

A quality of the Playful Page is holding to balance through contrast. This means contrast is the dissimilarity or difference between things. So if you are working too hard, then do the opposite - play. You may have been too serious, so shift to a lighter place.

When we look at things with a playful eye, it seems lighter. Have some fun and be safe. What will it matter in 10, 000 years? You can create some moments of happiness to remember forever.

The swamp cautions us not to be overwhelmed. Clarity may be difficult with the swamp's muddy waters. Are you in muddy waters or is that your thinking?

Watch your step in the swamp. It is wise to test the path ahead before making a commitment. Have you been sinking because of a misstep?

Watch for emotional trickery going on. Keep an eye on things. There may be alligators and snakes you can't see in the muddy water.

Can we allow the unconscious to come to the conscious?  Meditation or lucid dreaming are methods to try.  Play with it and see what bubbles up.  Strong emotions can also evoke the negative mind to bring up all the pain from the unconscious.  Be aware of this and Swamp reminds us to stay grounded and not overwhelmed by it all.  Have some fun with some good and healing visualization type meditations.  Watch out for the gators and snakes in the swamp.

You are loved and blessed.
