This card reminds you to listen very very closely. Reminds you of a form of listening you were born with. One perhaps shuffled aside or overwhelmed away by the demands of a linear, rational, quotidian life. One that if you attend to it tenderly, you just might find again.
Caelum and Terra were given a special set of headphones which allowed them to to hear the inner music of the natural world. When Caelum used this tool in combination with her own visionary insight, she came upon some unsettling but necessary truths. When Terra used the headphones in combination with her innate knowing, she became able to locate and to rescue her sister.
Each in their own way, the sisters found that tuning in and deeply listening opens up your world like a super power. Like the ancient Bards channeling Awen, you are being invited to listen right at the heart of inspiration. To hear the gentle hum of a warm room, the keening buzz inside a tense situation, the bright tinkle of a green shoot pushing up through the mud in springtime.
This is listening as kindness, listening as a form of magic, listening as the first doorway into your own super powers.
