This is one of the first cards I made. This archetype is especially pertinent to me right now because I am focusing a lot of energy on helping myself remain present and more mindful, which (for me) is not exactly an easy practice.

Who are you?

I am the one who was the first child created.  I am the essence of your childlikeness.  I am made of stars and wishes and flowers and dreams.  I am the original Child of the Universe.  The universe, and your soul, are my home.  I am the one who nudges you to play, to stretch, to move, to laugh, to create, to grow, to dream, to simply be.  I am the one who allows myself to be held in the arms of The Great Mother.

What do you have to give me?

I give you a heart that is full of delight and wonder in each and every moment.  I give you the ability to forget agendas and schedules and to be in the moment, THIS moment.  I give you a sacred release from time constraints.  I give you the power and the desire to create, to dream, to play, to laugh, to give freely.  I give you the desire and the ability to let yourself be held and loved fully in the arms of the Divine Mother.

What do you want from me?

I want you to be still every day, spend time with yourself in nature every week.  I want you to relax, to let go of worries and your anxieties, and to simply enjoy what your life holds, all that it holds. I want you to stop and smell the flowers.  I want you to experience Joy in its fullest blossoming every moment, every day.

How will I remember what you have taught me?

When you see the stars at night, you will remember that you too are a child of the Universe and you will feel my presence in your heart.  When you hear a child’s laughter you will remember that laughter is my Divine Gift to you.  When you are in a hurry and you see something beautiful or delightful, you will remember that place in your heart that holds me.
