The Major Arcana
Oracle (Destiny?)

"What are you doing," he asks her. She looks up at him, her eyes twinkling
like stars. "I am refilling this pool, so that those who are thirsty may
drink, and I am also watering the earth so that, come spring, the seeds
will grow," she tells him. And then she adds, "Come. Drink." The Fool
comes to kneel with her by the pool and drink. The water tastes wonderful,
like liquid starlight. "I can see you are sad," the girl continues, "and I
know why. But you must remember that you have not lost all. Knowledge,
possibilities, hope, you still have all of these. Like stars, they can
lead you to a new future." Even as she says this, she began to fade away,
like dew, vanishing. All that remains is a gleam that was at the center of
her forehead. This rises up and up, until it settles in the night sky as a
shining star. "Follow your star," the woman's voice seems to sing from
that light, "and have hope." The Fool takes in a breath and rises. It is a
dark night, a desolate land. But for the first time, he has a guiding
light to show him the way. www.aeclectic.net/tarot/basics/star.shtml |
