The 3 of swords is my least favourite card as it tends to show up when there is grief, sadness...however your essay has me thinking now about the shape of the space between two people and how our wounds are barriers to love and full expression of who we are...Wonderful insights! Thank you!
Jenna! The first image that came to mind when I read the Judge was a wise Druid. One who is called upon to help calm the court, to give sound wisdom on the battles, to give advice and herb and lore. And then you showed the 3 of hearts. I saw that in my own heart where I have been anything but a kind judge the Druid within me is coming to show me with soothing balms, words and non verbal cues how to heal the inner words of my mind and thoughts. This is wonderful. I will aim to be more like a wise Druid this week and tend my heart in that way.
Oh goodness, the image of the wise Druid as Judge is beautiful. I love that! That is such a perfect image of the power of discernment through wisdom (rather than through fear or other struggles). Thank you so much for that, Sam! ❤️
Oh Jenna, this is a tough one, isn't it! For me it is clear this combo is about the inversion wound. Really in my face right now with the ancestors and a dream I had the other night. Now this reading. Asking for another layer of judgment (patriarchal movements inner and outer) to be seen, cared for and healed. Coming out from under the domination of judgment as "Big Brother" The 3ofS for me is the grief around the contraction that is present, instead of the expanse and depth of the Divine Feminine. Wowser! I did my my Lughnasadh reading yesterday. The promise is the 10ofP at the end of the reading. But first some work...
I LOVE that the 10 of pentacles is the promise! Yay!!! Just knowing that's out there helps me so much with metabolizing grief and judgments and wounds in general. And I'm looking forward to hearing more about your dream. That inversion wound is at the root of so much!
This was incredibly spot on for me, exactly what I needed to hear. I have been in recovery for two years but my healing has been very slow. I hold so much self hatred and shame that it has driven me to such a terrible place, I developed agoraphobia and haven’t been able to leave my home in months.
But within this past week, I went into crisis, and in my desperation and despair I finally asked my family for help.
Now things are rapidly changing, and I am realizing a large part that has been holding me back from fully healing is my guilt and shame. I am so hard on myself, i tear myself apart constantly… dismissing the importance of my own accomplishments and progress…
Right after I came to this realization, I read this post. Even the number three was very symbolical to me because I have been experiencing incredible synchronicities, ever since I really started to buckle down and work on getting better, and they always happen in threes.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey, Sean! ❤️❤️ I'm so glad this post was affirming for you. These self-judgments--this shame--that we can fill ourselves with really do feel, to me, like adding barbs to wounds that are already there. I'm really happy that you were able to turn to your family. I believe that connection is necessary for metabolizing and moving what lives within us. And it doesn't have to be with other living humans, but there's nothing quite like the connection with family. Blessings to you as you continue your journey! 🙏💖

Thank you so much, Yolanda! I love that phrase "the shape of the space between two people". 💖
