August 15th 2014 - Friday - Virtue - It may feel like the path of opening you are on is a little like opening Pandora's Box:

And in a way we really have.  When you get serious about growing up, digging into spirituality and becoming a more authentic person... it's like opening a can of worms. Things can get crazy, and fast.  Makes you want to slam that lid shut real quick!

But today Pandora comes with the Virtue card which tells you this: You are on the right path. You are doing the right thing, and should have confidence.  Look to Pandora:

What does she teach us? To fearlessly seek hidden knowledge, to go after things that everyone else keeps quiet about. Open to the unknown, to the surprise of true being. She is fearless in her curiosity, and brings her feminine mystery and chaos to the mix. When the men were sitting around thinking, should we open the box, should we.... Pandora just went ahead and opened it! 

And don't miss the symbolism. We all came out of woman, that wild mysterious feminine force of creation. (Remember Kali from yesterday?). The time of the feminine is here. It's time to revere her, and open to her, and find her. 

Finally, I leave you with a quote from Peter J. Carroll. Digging into the muck of your soul can surely be hard work, scary work, and it can be ugly work.  A lot of crazy things can up when you really look.  But Peter assures us:  "...however high the price of knowledge it ends up costing less than ignorance."

Go ahead.  Take a peek inside.
