For this final day with the Vampire's Tarot of the Eternal Night (Lo Scarabeo, 2009) the Two of Pentacles comes to visit.
With his head bowed in thought, this figure tries to choose between two pentacles. To my eyes, both are the same. This says something about how we choose between things which really, from an outside perspective, are no different from one another, yet often the difference may seem incredibly important to us. I also notice the window behind him, dark on the left, and light on the right (I think that's a full moon shining in over his shoulder). A balance, then, is necessary in making this choice. We need to think about the consequences of our choice, and examine which calls to our shadow and which to our higher self.
What choices do you face today? What is the shadow aspect of each choice? Can you balance your needs and those of others? What will help you make the final decision?

Another face that we can't see lol! The first thing that I noticed was that the choices seem to be the same - maybe until you actually MAKE a choice and make it real, both options are just the same - nebulous possibilities?

Hi Ali,
ReplyDeleteThat's another interesting take on it! I was thinking of how choices can seem really important and different to others, while to the outside gaze they're much of a muchness. Your suggestion is also really good - until you actually go for it, you often don't really know what you're choosing!
