I love the story of Ariadne and the labyrinth. It is so rich in symbolism and deeper meanings. The 5ofS with it is an interesting pairing! Yes an invitation to let the swords down. Like having our hand inside a bottle and trying to pull what is in it out. As a fist our hand gets stuck, We have to let go of the object to get our hand out. Here I am being invited to let down the swords of control, of power over what is in front of me. Gently holding the thread and trusting this space of darkness.
I am moved by the idea of the thread and the way you pose it here Jenna by calling us to look for it amidst the chaos of the end of the year. In her book The Path to Integrity (I think that's what it's called) Martha Beck talks about our errors of righteousness. This is a shadow place I have to catch myself time and again so I will refocus my intention to hold gently to the thread and walk away from my own rigidity.
