Description
June 2017 The Hindu Goddess Akhilandeshvari is one of the forms of Parvati. Translated, Her name means, "She who is Never Not Broken". In Tarot speak, I think she is what happens after The Tower. After everything falls apart, we are never not broken. But we are never not whole, either. There is a strange paradox at work here, as we often encounter when pondering our essential natures. Today, she is telling me to be careful not to fall in love with one static version of yourself - either the idea of being whole or the idea of broken. There is a natural flow in our identities, personalities, beliefs. When we become too rigid in who we believe ourselves to be, we deny the other parts and the multitude of potentials. When we insist on being broken, we ignore the ways in which we are whole. Perhaps in embracing the paradox, or at least viewing it, we may more easily find acceptance for ourselves and others.
