Wobble Reading - July 8
The Wobble: Justice and The Hierophant. The tension here is between what behaviour is constrained by law and what is guided by morality. Both the justice system and religious systems lay down codes to live by, but Justice interacts with only the most extreme parts of human behaviour, those we’ve deemed far enough beyond the pale to need extrapersonal repercussion. Moral and ethical codes extend far further into our lives. The Hierophant looks at how we understand our entire approach to the world, while Justice looks to the extremes. What do we expect from whom and when? How do we measure behaviour, what is worth raising to the level of law, and how do we understand our responsibilities and privileges inherent in being in the world?
The Path: Nine of Discs (Gain). I feel like a bunch of the “Path” cards I’ve gotten have been little reminders that I don’t have to take responsibility for everything. It’s much needed - my job is putting out administrative fires so I tend to react to everything like it’s my responsibility. This could be that - that while the world is full of wobble around responsibility and behaviour, it’s not mine to solve. I could say it’s not my problem at the moment, and just relax in a spa. I’d like to relax in a spa! But I think where this is leading me is that while this may not be the time I need resolve these questions, if I do have some time to myself to relax and be present, that now would also be a fruitful time to meditate on these issues. Not force an answer, but invite contemplation that might in time lead somewhere.
