SIX OF SWORDS
Meet the Lord of Earned Success.
Mr. Mellifluous and the Lord of Earned Success
Suddenly you and Mr. Mellifluous find yourselves on a boat crossing a river. Near you, a skilled boatman is propelling his boat forward with a long pole. Six long swords stand near an adult and a child.
The boatman's pole must descend deep into the water to push against the bottom of the river. This act reminds you of the Goddess who is pouring liquid from a jug into a pond as though into a pool of the subconscious. Suddenly you are back with the Goddess.
As she pours water from the jugs, the pool and the land both seem refreshed by a seemingly inexhaustible supply of energy. The Goddess states, “A single-pointed focus is essential for accomplishing any goal. Mercury, God of the deep mind, aids in any effort to realize a dream or reach a new shore. Mercury is the messenger of the Gods: Often, when you are focused on some purpose, the sun of the psyche, the higher self, communicates insights from deep in the soul to the conscious mind.
“Mercury, however, does not work alone. The Magician receives inspirations from the Source and brings the energy down through the archetypal, mental, and astral planes to manifest in the physical world. Even seemingly simple acts, such as going on a journey or caring for a family, require planning, understanding and skill--and even inspiration. The intellect is as essential in mundane survival as it is in reaching the farthest shores.”
You gaze in quiet admiration as the boatman once again propels his boat forward.
