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 realm 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 offer light, a ray of light that can change the energy field with which it interacts.
So, when this card come to you, you are currently being offered the grace of pure light, the ray of unconditional self-love, the vibration 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 your 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 now care for yourself, you will create beauty, and you will bring grace to the world around you.

MAKE A WISH: Now is the time to stop all you are doing and take a moment to deeply, creatively, fervently imagine what it is you would most like to bring to life within your world. Dare to dream and to wish and to know what it is you want. For if you do not define it for yourself, dear one, you can be sure that you will be as a leaf in a stream, and you will be taken in the direction and towards the outcomes that others decide for you. Now is the time to take your own destiny back into your own hands and make a wish – just as you did when you believed, when you were a child, before the world of adults and their jaded practicality made you shrink into yourself, only asking for a little, in order to avoid disappointment. This dragon friend of the Kitsune has opened the gates for you now, friend, and in this moment, this dragon invites you to make a wish. To be daring in your wish. To go back into the true heart of yourself and peel back the layers until you find the dream that your most authentic self has kept alive for you. And bring it forth now.
Do not diminish yourself, dear one – for there are a thousand others in the world who will line up to stunt your passions. Be your own hero – stand beside yourself and make a wish, now, in this moment, for this cosmic gateway will not stay open forever. And be, dear one, as the grail, turned upwards, ready to receive. For even the most holy of vessels cannot hold blessings unless it is upright. Be receptive and believe in your own good fortune and this moment of blessing, and do not delay in sending your wish forth into the golden heart of the great and mysterious Universe, who in this moment, is allied with your energy.

BE STILL AWHILE: For now, dear Seeker, even while you are on this adventure, the Kitsune ask you to consider that it is time to be still awhile. You have traveled far and experienced a great deal. Now, these wise foxes say it is time to rest and recuperate and be still, still as the earth beneath the snow, quiet as the seed beneath the soil, and allow the energy about you to be rewoven and reweaved, and the energy within you to be restored and received.
This is a time to pause and to breathe, and to take deep space and time for yourself. In a world that encourages an endless doingness, this time of nothingness will seem difficult and strange at times, even frustrating. Yet there is a purpose, and there is so much that needs to be done in the stillness. Nature is not always in the process of growth – she moves and dances in a cycle of seasons, and the season for you now is winter, a season to be soft, and quiet as snow, to rest as the trees do, and to prepare silently, with patience, for the gateways and the tests that lie ahead. You will move forward again, but for now, dear one, rest awhile in this space with the Kitsune of Inari and know that you will be all the better for this time of graceful, soft, and peaceful pause.
