The Council

The Council

Here's one interpretation.

The Council is a group of enlightened beings with humankind's combined wisdom. As you cross into the spiritual realm, you will give them an account of your life. Examining our lives, we compare our good and bad actions on a cosmic scale. We may try to understand why we didn't love, forgive, or dare as much as we could have.

Knowledge is abundant and accessible to you with a "yes" attitude and an unconditional openness to life. This card reminds you that there is a spot set aside for you by a holy fire from the beginning of time. When you follow your inner wisdom, you can claim your place with The Council.

When this card appears, here are a few actions you might consider.

You are called to Listen with your inner senses Read the handwriting on the wall and use your heart to understand its meaning. Begin to love, forgive, and take bold risks without waiting for further signs. Take the plunge without waiting for life to guarantee your success.

If this card appears upside down or reversed, and you choose to include its position as part of your reading, here's what it could mean.

Never feel alone. To get the advice you need, look to the Council; pay attention to the voice that comes to you on its own. Pay no attention to the ego telling you you cannot complete the work at hand. Make for the Council a spiritual feast. Every time you pray or meditate, invite them to your altar.
