When I first made this card, I thought I knew what it was about. A friend had seen the background image of the heavens (on the right) and remarked that the long mark looked like a wound. I couldn’t stop thinking about that!
So when I made this card, I thought it was to honor the part of me who wants to put a halt to any more wounding.
I thought that was odd, because I’ve done SO much work on past emotional wounds and scarring.Ā So I was only a little surprised to discover what this image was REALLY saying to me!
Here is my journaling so far with this amazing card. I have the feeling she still has LOTS to say to me and I will be listening!
Who are you?
I am the one who is saying don’t come near to my scars. Don’t come near to my brilliance either. I am the one who is larger than the scar.Ā I am the one who doesn’t want people to see my wounds. I am the one who also doesn’t want people to see my bright and shining self.Ā I am the one who MEANS IT!!!
What do you have to give me?
I give you protection.Ā I keep people away from the real, true, inner you.Ā I keep you safe from those who would make your wounds deeper. I also keep you away from people who would be hurt by your brilliance.
What do you need from me?
I need you to be careful who and what you are allowing into our life.Ā I need you to be watchful of your physical and emotional energy field.
Is there anything else you have to say to me?
Yes!Ā My original intention was only to keep away anyone and anything that might open up old wounds and undo the emotional healing you have worked so hard at. But in doing that, sometimes I don’t discriminate. Sometimes I just keep everyone away. It’s hard work, letting people see only the bright side of you and not the woundedness, so sometimes I get mixed up and don’t let them in at all.
So much unexpected insight from one card! Before I read your post, I was struck by the ethereal beauty of the card, and what I saw as a figure of innocence, purity, and wisdom. The cards we make open so many doors into the deep work we do inside ourselves. Thank you for sharing this!
What a beautiful card. I must say it really called to me too. I printed it out and did the I AM exercise, and one of the insights that came to me was also from the long image in the back. It reminded me of the time what I had my breast cancer surgery; and the surgeon put a wire in my breast to show where the lump was located. The “local” started to wear off and I was in pain. Thankfully, not for long. I remember watching the doctor inserting this wire, praying, and thinking let this be my last surgery, blessing the surgeon and everyone in the operating room. It seems like only minutes later I awoke and just “knew” all would be well. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Laurel
What this beautiful card says to me is:
“I am the One who is the Eternal Mother who reaches out to touch and to heal the scars of the universe with my pure love/light. My crystalline blue-white beauty brings peace and wholeness for all who open themselves to be touched by my loving hand. I bow in prayer to wait to heal…”
