Hi Red! Well, even me with my limited use o the fish has to acknowledge that sometimes a cigar isn't always a cigar.
in a past life / karmic lessons reading, I think it's fair to at least touch upon both interpretations.
I have a question not with cards, but about the cards.
Key represents Karmic lessons, Tree represents Karmic matters, and Cross represent Karma.
How would you differentiate between these? or how do you look at these in a reading?
Hi Alyna,
To me the key isn't about karmic anything. It's an indicator that things can happen, but that there are issues that need to be taken care of before things can move along. Like a locked door, if you forget the key, then you have to go back and get the key before you can open the door. It's like a pre-flight check list... Pay attention to X, Y, Z, else there might be problems (not enough fuel, too much luggage... Etc, etc)
With the tree, I like what Halil
and Red mentioned. I'd follow that since you're trying to see the health or strength of a bond or a person. That in itself is very karmic, and as she says it's about the roots, the past, and what has influenced your environment and your development to make you what you are today. It's indicative of the soul's strength and what might be bogging it down, or similarly about someone's health.
The cross is more in line of God's plan, and the belief that the suffering and challenges are part of something bigger than you and me, or even us as a race. It's the reason why the tree was even created in and permitted to take root in the first place, and speaks of hard lessons and acceptance of events since we are not aware of the Plan and what God is orchestrating. It involves acceptance and having faith that His will is bein done, irrespective of how we feel, and that it is for the better good.
All in all the tree and the cross are very spiritual, but deal with very different concepts of the spiritual: Foundation (tree) and Faith (cross)
