Here are two different cards about the idea of Journeys.  I made the first one about 10 years ago. In the last few months, I made the second card and and was delighted to hear about this Neter’s different aspect of life journeying:

I am the Journeyer.  I am the one who is on a Journey through life.  No one can take your journey but YOU.  There are times on your journey when you are moving forward and times when you are sitting still and pausing.  There are sunny days and stormy days and also cold, lonely days.  No one can walk your journey but you.

My message for you today is this- be proud of YOUR journey.  It is uniquely ours and you are journeying well.

 

We are the ones who are journeying TOGETHER!  We are the ones who are each on our own individual quest, our own unique journey, but we have found that the journey is easier and more FUN when we hook arms and travel with others who are on similar journeys.

Our gift to you is the knowing that you don’t have to journey alone.  We give you camaraderie along the way.  We give you companionship.  We give you shoulders to lean on and partners for the long haul.

We need you to remember that even though YOU are the only one who can travel your journey, there is no need to shut yourself off from others.  Ask for help. Ask for others to share their journeys with you too.  There is much to gain from offering your hand to others as you journey onwards.

I made this card intuitively, finding myself drawn to these random images of white masks and the people wearing them. And they all seemed to fit quite naturally in front of the cosmos.

When I began working with it, the powerful voice came from the large white moon-masked figure.

Who are you?
I am the one who oversees the masks that you wear. I am the one who knows that sometimes masks keep you safe AND sometimes they keep good people away from the real you.

What gift do you have for me?
My message for you today is this- if you are ever in doubt about when to leave the mask on or when to take it off, just come to me and ask. I am the one who knows the difference and I know who can safely receive what is behind the mask and who cannot.

I love that this archetypal energy behind my metaphorical mask wearing is present for me whenever I ask.

After I worked with this Neter several times, I noticed something interesting. NOT ALL of the people on this card are wearing masks. In the lower left quadrant, there is a person whose mask is lifted… and there’s even an ARROW pointing directly to him! I had a good laugh when I saw this. It’s a good reminder to me that this Neter is not just about hiding, but also about unmasking.

This Neter came to me last year and I made her completely intuitively, not knowing how the images would come together, only that they belonged together somehow.

Here is what she says to me today:

Who are you?

I am the one with blue hair … and I am the one with flowers in my hair.

We are the ones who are surrounded by color.

I am the one who is poised.

We are not shy about being creative, about being myself.

We are the ones who are looking you in the eye and daring you to be who you are.

We are daring you to be more colorful, to bring more COLOR into your life!

 

What gift do you bring me?

We give you permission to be colorful and creative.

We give you permission to draw, to write, to color, and to get out your art journals again.

We give you color… all the colors of the world!

We gift you with playfulness.

 

What do you need from me?

We need you to play in your art journal again. You did a few pages last week, and then you stopped.

We need you to bring more ART into your life!
