Transformation

Self-nurturing, going within, time alone, being present with your feelings, cocooning, before the butterfly, being gentle on yourself, angelic embrace.

This painting started with the name, I needed a hug, so I painted one. During the creation process, the image underwent a profound transformation that paralleled the journey I was taking deep within myself.

This card signifies going inwards and being truly present with wherever you are at in your process. It emits a sense of self-nurture and space that is held as a container for our delicate and vulnerable gestation periods.

The final image is filled with blessings, like an angelic embrace. This care emanates from the being, implying that she is creating it for herself. The most powerful healing comes from a place of presence and acceptance for all that doesn’t try to fix anything or push things away.

Divinatory Meaning

Feel whatever you need to feel. It may be hard to be present with some parts of yourself. Bring them into a cocoon of gentle self-love and reflection, and insight will come, the shadows can be released, and your heart space will soften. Cry or be angry if this is what you are holding onto, and laugh at the hilarious, ironic, divine perfection of it all. This card beckons you beyond your constructed outer self where you can delve into the beautiful abyss of your being. Revel in the twilight before the dawn and let your wings unfurl.
