Card 6: Margo recaptures her innocence (Lefty Oracle Deck)
Mantra: I remember.
Affirmation: I am beautiful and free and I reclaim ME.
Element: Water
Song
It’s time I went BACK
in time to re-discover
who I was before I grew up.
Am I hoping to re-claim my inner child?
I don’t know.
I just want to feel what it feels like again;
to be young and beautiful and free and me,
before life happened and the fairies flew away.
HA.
My life wasn’t easy, mind you…
I suffered terribly as a child,
but I was resilient.
I made it through all the muck
AND the beauty of being small,
and innocent,
and me.
I’m finding me again,
just for me,
and no one else.
If this card appears in a reading it’s time to look back at the fun parts of your childhood. What memories spark good feelings? Are you able to tap into those feelings in any of your current activities? In other words how do you feed your child self that still wants attention? She or he is a part of your psyche that may need some extra care and attention right now so give yourself some precious time to do just that. Break out the crayons, the bike, the ball, the clarinet, the glitter wand and make some magick happen. Do something that touches your inner child-self and makes her/him feel happy and loved. Like the butterfly wings in this card’s imagery it’s time to fly, transform and awaken yourself perhaps by leaving things behind, or by remembering and loving the old you or by stowing away all parts of you that are no longer needed.
In my own life whenever I sit down to draw or paint I feel as though I’m feeding my inner child and bringing love and joy into my life so I try to do that every day because I usually feel better afterwards (and during!)
