Wildwood Cafe (Study group): 12 The Mirror

Frayling0

Wow, loving all these observations while I've been at work - especially the heron being a messenger of the after life. As for the boat and island, I didn't think of the Arthur Avalon legend (gosh I love the Arthurian cycle!), so that's also a wonderful image. I agree about the whole pause thing, just like Arthur waited in Avalon until he is needed again. The Mirror is quite simply saying "stop and reflect."

I really do love this card, in both concept and meaning, it's wonderful!

It seems to me that the mirror is reflecting the light of healing, self knowledge & illumination from the orb
into her heart chakra. The body in the boat may be an ancestor and she is trying to learn from the past (the ancestor) and heal from the pain.
