THE RICHNESS WITHIN: Each of us has worlds within us, ideas that swirl and dance, thoughts of depth and beauty, feelings about events in our lives, and in the life of the world, which often are never born into the world that lies beyond the border of the self. There are feelings deemed too strong, too sad, too difficult for others to hear. We do not want to be rejected or thought ill of, so we keep so much within. It is within our private moments that we can explore these ideas, let them be free, and see what can come of them.
This card is your sign to give some of the beautiful wealth of ideas and thoughts, all the words and feelings unspoken, their freedom at last. For with you now is a safe place, akin to this place where a Kitsune, in the form of a girl, allows her own creative and deep thoughts their release. And as they tumble about in their newfound freedom, she will find that they have purpose and value, meaning and life beyond that of her mind. Likewise, you too, Seeker, will now find a safe place to release, expand, share and wonder out loud. You will permit yourself to open up and feel out loud. And although there will be sadness, and there will be feelings that so many others avoid, it is time for you to allow these feelings their moment to grow outside of yourself. All that you have held within is no longer taboo, no longer forbidden. It is part of the rich path of our humanity. And you are encouraged now to find a safe place, a safe friend, a nourishing place and environment, to speak the many wonders that lie within you into the world, and in so doing, enrich it beyond measure.

ACCEPTANCE: Accepting ‘what is’ is a powerful way to step into your own creative force and be a part of what will be. For change is weaving its way within the world of the Kitsune, and while there is sadness at the fading of one season, there is a sense of gratitude for all that has been. Instead of lamenting deeply, this Kitsune shows us how to gracefully open our hands and let go of what now must pass. This passing is not forever, is is simply for a time. But we are reminded with this card to allow whatever needs to leave now to go, and stay within the moment of change and appreciate its gifts. Sense the change all about you, and allow yourself to become a part of the change – to be gracious and graceful in the acceptance, which is no passive thing, no weakness, and truly, not so much a surrender as an acknowledgement of the passing. It is presence, and recognitions, and allowance.
This card can be of assistance to those of you who are unable to see the blessings and gifts within the transition, and to those of you who are rushing through the change, hoping rushing will help you cope. Take your time to savor the passing, just as this Kitsune is admiring and immersing themselves in the gifts of the autumn maples. Know that the acceptance of this impermanence brings a deep and lasting sweetness, a beauty that can uplift and strengthen you, a place where you can now decide what it is you will change within yourself to match the change all about you. Take time to make adjustments to your own self – explore yourself and know what it is that can be enhanced and what can be left behind. There is a harvest to come as the end of this letting go, and the harvest will grant to you abundance, according to the depth of your own willingness to embrace the cyclic nature of this heavenly life upon Earth.

THE CREATION OF LIGHT: To be a lightworker is to be the person through whom the lightness of being, an elevated, tender, kind and loving perspective, can come through to the world, in part because of us. All work and energy that carries a significant measure of grace is calming, gentling, and soothing to so much of the world’s suffering and harshness. And within the realms of the Kitsune are beings who tend the flowers that offer us light – for not only does this lotus open to offer perfume, and beauty, and fertility, but its very presence offers light, a ray of light that can change the energy field with which it interacts.
So, when this card comes to you, you are currently being offered the grace of pure light, the ray of unconditional self-love, the vibrations of compassion for the self and of self-awareness without harsh self-judgements. You are available for your own soul, and you are tending the garden of the inner self, and within that garden the lotus of peace and of the sacred is blooming, and as its petals open, you are showered with inner light. Enjoy the surrender to the beauty of you own self-love, and know that you are in turn bringing this light to others, as it radiates out into the world from the deep and holy garden which flowers within. You will not care for yourself, you will create beauty, and you will bring grace to the world around you.
