X. Wheel of Fortune

Guiding words/ideas

Hope; opportunity; invitation to create your own path; you are in the right place; your experiences have created the fabric that decorates and protects you; a summons to skillfully navigating your life.

Channeled guidance:

This card is full of hope and opportunity.

The helm of a boat is right in front of you. This wooden wheel is inviting you to grab hold and steer the ship. This ship is you, and the sea is the world and your experience. The path you choose is the trajectory of your life. The sea ahead is calm. The clouds are clearing off to the sides, and light is emerging. It is a magical seascape, and it welcomes you to lean in and engage. This card suggests that you have the skills, the agency, and even the vehicle to steer yourself in the direction that is correct and true for you.

Everything that you have experienced up to this point has put you in this place right now. Even if difficult or scarring, these happenings have not been right or wrong. They have created the fabric of the clothing that decorates and protects your unique and irreplaceable self. And now, you are being summoned to step forward and to skillfully navigate your life.

Plant and metal guidance:

Copper oxide (as mordant creating “light” areas in the background): I magnify the properties of whatever plants I touch or impact.

Black Walnut (brown wheel/helm and boat): The strength of our magic lies in our ability to clear space and provide opportunities for recharging and resetting.

Logwood (blue sea): Our color connects outwardly but its source lies deep within. We help you reach inside yourself to find strength and beauty.
