The World

Well, today’s card is The World.  As you may have guessed, I’m picking the cards daily at random, and writing as I go.  Unstructured, as is life itself.  Anyway, Waite describes this card as:  Assured success, voyage, route, emigration. flight, change of place. Reversed – inertia, fixity, stagnation, permanence.

Again, I have my own views on The World, and again I look at the imagery of the card.  The garland around the dancing woman is a circle.  The world itself is round.  In my mind, it’s about things coming to full circle and things coming to a (mostly) happy conclusion.  The World is also the last card of the major arcana, and the end of the journey, so to speak, giving the card that added emphasis of ‘the end’.  We’ll come to the further imagery of the card at a later date.
