Mantra: I accept.
Affirmation: I am proud of who I am, wrinkles and all!
Element: Spirit
Song
To be perfectly honest,
it’s not the easiest game;
getting older.
But each wrinkle simply means
that you’ve got one more good story to tell.
Whether it be a sad one or funny one,
they ALL count.
But truly,
you’ll still be fabulous no matter what age
and like a fine wine,
you’ll just get tastier over time.
You will also get to know yourself
and with this knowing comes wisdom,
and grace,
and blessings untold.
If this card appears in a reading it’s time to accept who you are in this very moment; no matter your age, weight, health, clothes, hair or yes, even wrinkles! You know, of course, that you are perfect in every way, right? If you or someone you’re close to is feeling ‘old’ and negative about wrinkles please remind them that they or that you ARE winning – you are alive.
In my own life I do the best I can to celebrate my grey hair and even my wrinkles which does require some chutzpah ‘cause it goes entirely against the youth culture we worship. I am not ‘old’ and I forget sometimes that I have wrinkles. But I have learned a thing or two along the way and I honour the wisdom that comes with aging. If we are open to receiving this knowledge and honouring our age by being honest about it, instead of hiding, distorting or carving up our bodies to fit an ideal we don’t believe in, then we are indeed wise souls that have learned a thing or two.
