The warrior is called to fight. To defend. The true warrior knows the difference between senseless conflict and rising to the occasion of an injustice.
This archetype is embodied in those moments when it is righteous and
right to stand up for oneself and others. The warrior is able to draw lines in the sand, to don a tough armor when the occasion calls for it – and to set down their sword when the battle is over.
Caelum and Terra grew up in an environment where the safest thing to do when life got overwhelming was to check out. But in Caelum’s dreams she was a brave warrior fighting her battles head on. She needed a little warrior energy to heave her outta her stuckness, so she could mobilize for her own well-being, and for the safety of her
sister too.
This card honors the truth that there are times when we must fight. The fight response is a natural part of every one of us for a reason. Tricky thing is, sometimes an incomplete fight response in our past can keep us stuck fighting losing battles long into the future.
This card asks how can you release those old trapped, helpless energies and incomplete fight responses, so you don’t get stuck battling shadows, but instead fearlessly rise to the present moment.
