What may have been seen as a hazardous, controversial and daring feat by most was a risk many were willing to take. It certainly is a circus out there, and at times, it’s difficult to tell friend from foe. Hex card speaks of the “fog of war” & the questionable intent of those who do not wish us well. In the haze of battle, it’s impossible to know your enemy’s true intent or capabilities, including your own, until more information presents itself. And so, it served us well to stand down in vigilance until we could determine the strength of their position including our own. The Hex 12, reduces to a 3, representing a plan formed in the 2’s moving into action. In other words, the testing of an idea to see if it will fly. Was that the “miracle solution” presented to those being held hostage from life until they submitted to its temptation?  The Panacea wasn’t the end-all-be-all remedy it was touted to be. Those who challenged their “cure” & anchored into position, learned they were stronger than they realized by not succumbing to the feeling of powerlessness when angered by the resistance they faced. Voluntarily holding themselves back, they possessed faith in the truth -that it  would be revealed & a better resolution could be found. Some couldn’t wait nor allow themselves to be held back from moving on with life. Unwilling to be weighted down by limiting circumstances, they were lured by the promise of freedom-seeing this as a burden to be rid of as soon as possible despite not having all the information & drastically underestimating the enemy. It was always a waiting game. Through the conflict & difficulties of the 5 of Panacea, we became acutely aware of the incessant overload of potentially damaging substances we face collectively-the toxic overindulgence if you will, of all types. Not only the potential toxicity of the Panacea but especially the need to cleanse the mind of too much information, propaganda, rhetoric- overstimulated minds & emotional systems due to electronic & media overload. The Detox card warns of mental exhaustion and a need to bring fresh energy & relief from physical/emotional concerns. We learned there’s a need to protect our mental health & overdoing anything clouds the conscious mind making it very hard to discern, strategize or think things through. Perhaps we should all take time to reframe our lives & our perspectives - finding a quiet space to consider our true selves, heal & process life unto this point. Reset & gather those pearls of wisdom we’ve let carelessly go astray and welcome a return to health.
