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 sufferings 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 offers light, a ray of light that can change the energy field with which it interacts.
So, when this card appears, 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 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.

BENEATH THE SURFACE: There is much within the world that can be misread when we look upon the surface. When we see with over-accustomed eyes the world around us, we cannot truly “see” what is there. We need experience and depth and perceptive attention when we seek to truly know something. And so, this card is urging you to go beneath the surface, which this beautiful mermaid is preparing to do. It can be easy to glide above and to avoid the depth or to fail to see the true power of something. Because we look upon the ocean and see its calm, we can underestimate its strength. And this is what you are being asked to do – do not go lightly into deep emotional waters, but know their strength and live-changing power by diving beneath the surface. Know that as you go deep, you will encounter currents and the power of the ocean – the emotional world – above you. But it is not the time to stay on the surface.
So many others feel this is adequate – and their lives are in many ways satisfactory. But to know the true potential of yourself and of your life, you will need to take a deep breath and dive deep. There is no need for fear or for panic, remain calm, no matter how challenging it can seem to be beneath the world in which others seem content to live. This life is not for you, friend, and nor are the ailments and personal stunting of growth that others experience, over and over, because they never found a way to go beneath the apparent nature of reality and go deep within. This being of the Kitsune realm now asks you to join her in the quest for the hidden depths of life. Know that you are seeking the truth about your own soul. That is a reward worth the risk.

GROWTH: You have a natural connection to magick, and at this time, you are growing in your powers. Some of these powers are very new and very young, and it will be your task, moving forward, to nurture one in particular, because this seemingly humble beginning has great promise and many gifts to offer you. This tender new beginning is goddess-given to you, and this goddess of the Kitsune realm is the one who helps seekers to access their own personal strengths and hidden talents, and climb towards the sun, their powers growing in strength all the time.
Like the ivy, your talents will grow, you will climb, and the light will be reached. You are to nurture these newfound talents and strengths and whatever sweet new beginnings are about you and strengthen them so that they can be sustained for many years to come. You will be taken on many an adventure with the growth of this ability, and so many opportunities will be created. Don’t let go of your dreams – hold on, climb high, and grow, and seek and find. Always reach for the light, and know that as you grow, you make everything beautiful. Find strong people to be around and learn from their endurance and fortitude. Nurture your dreams by day and by night, let yourself be enriched by dreams.
