MOON
Portents are seen in the mind's eye and felt in the body -- Dreams. Nighttime. Psychic activity and the paranormal. An idea, thought, or thing inside your subconscious is ready to rise and be seen. Imagination. Visions. Dark magic.
SHADOW: Mania, deception, and mental illness. Crossing the line into madness. Unable to find the line between sanity and insanity. Blurred vision. Entrapment. Obscuring the truth. Blaming outer circumstances for inner turmoil.
A full moon rises. It outshines all celestial objects. The Shadow Witch feels a stirring deep within her. A body rises from the waters, as if the moon were a magnet, birthing a fully formed woman from the murky depths.
The Moon reflects new possibility rising from your subconscious to fill the space you have created. The Moon is odd and unfamiliar. It is something new taking form. The Moon is uncanny, mysterious, psychic, and dangerous because original creations are rarely familiar. It can be downright frightening and scary to encounter something you can't identify. This is why the things we desire often frighten us.
New possibilities, new ways of being, draw unfamiliar responses from us. The Moon card gently lets us know we can support what is rising. The time is at hand. This is the birth of what always existed within. The subconscious communicates directly with your highest consciousness. There is no interference. This urge, desire, and new way can rise through the Moon's reflected light. Sacred imagination is activated. Visions of future portents are seen in the mind's eye and felt in the body.
The Lady rises from lunar subconscious depths as the pregnant moon rises in the night sky. Two wolves howl, reflecting our animal instincts. Dual gothic towers foreshadow the evolution of what is to come, what will be built. A path leads from the water to a distant mountain. This is the path of completion. What rises is sure to become real.
