Day 1 18.9. Ludi magni games - Roman games in honour of the god Jupiter, celebrated with circus performances. This card reflects the spirit of celebration in your life, and how you can bring more joy and playfulness to yourself and others.
Cards from the Tarot de la Rea (Alain Bocher)
LA JUSTICE VIII
Not a card one usually associates with joy and playfulness. It had me stumped for a while. But then something started to appear and it grew and this is what it is :
We reap what we sow. This is karmic law. So if I want to reap joy, I must sow the joy. If I want to reap laughter, I must sow the laughter. If I want to reap merriment, I must sow the merriment. The joy and laughter and merriment that have been reaped after the sowing can then be shared further and wider and equally of course, as this is only just. It is not to be hoarded but enjoyed at a feast to which all are invited.
Also, human justice was designed for men. But there is a higher justice.
For it has been said that we are not to judge by appearance, but by righteous judgment. By not judging according to my own concepts and constructs, I will free the other to pursue their own journey, without any personal judgment, to accept that they are solely responsible for their destiny as Buddha discovered and taught.
And then I can just watch with full acceptance, and even with wonder, their own particular journey and path which seems sometimes strange and unsettling when I judge by appearance and my own personal sense of judgment. And they will be grateful for my acceptance and their hearts will surely sing in their newfound freedom.
