Tarot

This Mentor is one who is completely in touch with the unconditional love of her world. She sees everything as sacred. Her wisdom is all-encompassing. Because she is "plugged in" to the wisdom of the Universe, she can know and understand anything. She is able to translate difficulty into opportunity and tragedy into grace, seeing the triumph that exists in every difficulty.

Oprah Winfrey's public persona is an excellent example of this Mentor. She cares deeply about people and is available to help them know and love themselves and others. Her greatest skill is in empowering others, thereby resisting the temptation to cripple them through egotistical doing for others.

Getting in Touch with Your Mentor

This is a call to spend some time in prayer or meditation (whatever that is for you). Put aside a quiet time of reflection for yourself.

Caution

An aloofness from others can come when a person first understands about receiving divine guidance. This passes once you learn the rest of the story: We all are divine "works in progress."

Your Mentor's Special Gift to You

She comes to teach you to see the world as sacred and to trust your connection to wisdom. She will help you build that trust and will help you know your path. Receiving her as a Mentor is a call to return to center. Stay in touch with your own inner wisdom.

Your Message - The Devil

This is an important, pivotal time for you. You must choose to remain as you are with the limitations you have, or move onto a more creative, healthy place. This invitation is not made lightly. This is a very important crossroads in your life. Reaching this decision place is, itself, a great compliment to your health and maturity, and the power of your destiny.

You are invited to a magical process. Here are the three steps to freedom:

Gain knowledge and humility about who you are,
Confront the parts of your personality you have considered shameful and base,
Accept your human body and the requirements of living a physical life.

Those "disowned" parts may have to do with how you feel about your body or your sexuality, or how you think of yourself in your body, or the limits you have placed upon your abilities because of a limiting self-concept.

Your ability to progress in life and your creative energy are limited by your own panic, self-disgust and self-deception.

Face your own personal demons, the darkness inside, and own that despair. Whatever you are ashamed of must now be owned, embraced and the breach healed between your idealized and base selves. Honest, humble acceptance of your entire being is necessary to release your creative energies and allow you to proceed beyond your current limitations.

You may use either a regular set of cards or an actual Tarot deck for this assignment.

Feel free to define your own suits. Should you wish some assistance, here is one set of suit definitions:

Spades -- Rods -- Spirit

Clubs -- Coins/Pentacles -- The Physical World

Hearts -- Cups -- Emotions

Diamonds -- Swords -- Intellect

Similarly, feel free to define the numbers and face cards as you wish. We offer only one possible set of definitions:

Number 1 - independence, new beginnings

Number 2 - relationships

Number 3 - synthesis

Number 4 - foundation

Number 5 - change

Number 6 - home and family

Number 7 - spirituality

Number 8 - material world

Number 9 - attainment

Number 10 - transformation

If a card is reversed, decide if it will mean that the information applies only to your internal self or does it mean that the card should be interpreted in a negative manner?

After you develop your language for interpreting the cards, draw and then study three cards.

These three cards define your past, present and your future for the issue about which you have concerns.

Notice the effect this information has on you--are you sad, happy, angry? After your initial response, write in your journal your response and then explain why you feel this way.

Hopefully you have selected a Mentor with whom you can draw information about how to deal with this new situation. Ask your Mentor in writing or in your imagination how that person would deal with this situation.
