The Giants’ Tarot, Raven Kaldera
Draw for March 20, 2017
Active Influence: Bara/Nine of Cups
Rune: Nauthiz/Need
Hidden Influence: Mundilfari/Six of Wands
Today’s events require you to re-think what you truly need. You may feel as if you are losing important parts of your life, but today’s draw encourages you to consider whether those things are still necessary for your well-being. The answer may surprise, and possibly please, you. Sigyn’s presence in Nauthiz reminds you that you must take care of yourself in order to take care of your life and your responsibilities.
Mundilfari reminds you that this, too, shall pass. The ability to move with and through time is how we recognize our own growth, and how we create new lives when we’ve outgrown our former ways of being. On this first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, acknowledge the growth you’ve made during the winter, and let yourself set new goals and make new plans that are a better fit for who you are now.

The Giants’ Tarot, Raven Kaldera
Draw for March 19, 2017
Active Influence: Fafnir/Four of Coins
Rune: Erda/Earth
Hidden Influence: Skadi/Justice
Think before you speak today. Karma comes around to visit, and you want to be sure it brings presents and not pain. Small-mindedness, greed, and laziness are easy to fall into; that’s not who you really are, so do better.
Ground your energies in your best and highest self. Whatever you do today will come back to you quickly; make sure that what you send out is what you want to have back.

Sunt Leones
~ Stevie Smith
The lions who ate the Christians on the sands of the arena
By indulging native appetites played was now been seen a
Not entirely negligible part
In consolidating at the very start
The position of the Early Christian Church.
Initiatory rights are always bloody
In the lions, it appears
From contemporary art, made a study
Of dyeing Coliseum sands a ruddy
Liturgically sacrificial hue
And if the Christians felt a little blue-
Will people being eaten often do.
Theirs was the death, and there’s was a crown undying,
A state of things which must be satisfying.
My point which up to this has been obscured
Is that it was the lions who procured
By chewing up blood gristle flesh and bone
The martyrdoms on which the church has grown.
I only write this poem because I thought it rather looked
As if the part the lions played was being overlooked.
By lions’ jaws great benefits and blessings were begotten
And so our debt to Lionhood must never be forgotten.

A good day to Get Things Done. Whatever you set your mind to, you can accomplish. How you get to the results may vary from your plan—something unexpected may create a need to revise your plan and improvise wildly. Whatever it is, you can handle it, and will handle it with grace.
