#24: THE VOID Sign: Taurus Gift: Genius Shadow: Addiction

Gift: Genius Gaze into the void and confront your deepest shadows. Beyond the darkness is a strand of delicate light, a soft beam to guide you to the ripened fruits of your inner world. When you are able to transcend the patterns of the shadow, life expands beyond the previous limitations you've placed onto it. You are able to see how your own mind has played tricks on you. Silence befriends you as you stare into the void with curiosity and awe. From this gap, consciousness awakens and your innate genius greets you once again. And again. And a gain. A spell never broken.

Shadow: Addiction Rooted within the collective, this shadow bears witness to our deeply entrenched survival tendencies. We find a relative comfort in repetition, time-worn patterns, and narrow- mindedness (the distorted view that safety is found in only one way of thinking or being). This is an addiction to mind-centered strategies to avoid suffering. This could manifest in various ways, including substance abuse, seeking solace in the outside world (versus your inner sanctuary), or using habits as a crutch. Anything has the potential to veer into addiction when we bypass the void and the root cause of suffering.

Themes: innate genius + patterns + the void + silence

My plan for the Idiosyncradeck was to have a field burning off, but I couldn’t get it to look how I wanted it to, so I changed to the giant wave.

The now version has epicormic buds, which are little buds that grow after a tree has been burned (forest fire in this case). Which is what I was going for originally I just didn’t have that knowledge yet.

The Knitworthy. Art by Alexandra Mac, from The Knitter’s Oracle.

The Knitworthy card is another very useful one, as it can stand for the object of your affection, whether that be a romantic partner or a beloved family member. It can also more generally refer to love or romance.
