VALIANT COURAGE: This isn’t the time to be timid or hold back. Gather your inner resources and go forward gallantly with your banner of truth waving in the wind. Throw your shoulders back and move forward fearlessly. Take risks. It’s okay to feel afraid, just don’t let it stop you. Don’t play safe. Opportunities will pass you by otherwise. Speak up for yourself. Honor your truth. You are a light bearer for others. Through your example, people find and act on their truth with courage and grace.
The Sacred Traveler Wants You to Know: The sacred traveler sometimes experiences the unexpected on the road. Perhaps a bear appears or someone with less-than-pure intentions emerges from the woods. Courage doesn’t mean that you’re not afraid. It means that in spite of the fear and hesitation, you take action. Face your anxiety and go beyond the boundaries of limited perceptions of yourself. Any journey of the heart needs courage, and you’re on such a journey. It takes bravery to go forward when you can’t see around the next corner, but do it anyway. Do not allow yourself to be limited by the beliefs of others or even your own limiting beliefs. Go beyond the boundaries of self-imposed barriers. Live passionately, valiantly, and courageously.

SURRENDERING TO THE JOURNEY: It’s time to let go. All is well. The Creator is at your side. You don’t have to do it alone. Your life is guided. This is not the time to try to control the details of your life. Let it flow. There are times to hold on, but this is the time to completely surrender. Surrender to the greater forces of the Universe. Let go of wanting to control your future; simply turn your challenges over to your spiritual source. The Creator will escort you on your journey.
The Sacred Traveler Wants You to Know: Surrendering is not giving up. You’re not yielding to a force outside yourself; you’re opening to your Soul. By releasing hold, you allow the creative forces of the Universe to spiral through you, which brings inspiration and direction into your life. Sometimes the journey goes a different way than expected; when it does, don’t resist. There are times you can see the path, but you don’t know where it leads. Not knowing where you’re going can activate inspiration, insight, and creative juices. You cannot discover new oceans and distant vistas, unless you have the courage to let go of the shore. You don’t have to do it all yourself. Support is all around you; simply open your heart and allow it in.

STEPPING INTO POWER: Take back your power. Stand in your own light. Even if your burden seems heavy, it makes you stronger. If you’ve been standing on the sidelines or acquiescing to the needs of others, this card is letting you know it’s time to stand up for yourself. The challenges you’ve faced are making you stronger. You no longer need to live your life for others. Yet, if you choose, your light can illuminate the path for those who walk beside you.
The Sacred Traveler Wants You to Know: The greater power is silent and deep. It doesn’t need a show of force. It just is. If you’ve lost or given away you authority to someone or something else, it’s time to reclaim it. If you’re afraid of standing in your truth because you are afraid of being judged, shunned, or rejected, it’s time to let go of your hesitation. If you’ve been carrying responsibilities for others, you’re stronger for it; however, it’s time to decide to either let them go or continue forward with them but on your terms. You have a remarkable inner spiritual power that is born of sacred love, wisdom, and grace.
