Sacred Cave from Tarot Games
by Cait Johnson and Maura D. Shaw
There are times when we need to retreat from our hectic schedules and find a safe place deep insider ourselves where we can curl up and be nurtured. Sacred Cave gives us such a place and forges a strong bond between ourselves and our cave-dwelling ancestors, who left their red handprints as legacies on the walls. Cave images hold rich significance for us, reminding us of safety, community, and the strong magic made by priestesses who danced and sang there. Caves are the wombs of Mother Earth. In the Sacred Cave, the Tarot will show you how to give yourself the nurturing you need and deserve.
Mix the cards face down and choose six cards at random. Arrange five cards in the shape of a cave entrance, with Card 1 at the bottom in the center of the arch. Card four deserves special attention. It will help you feel safe and protected.
Card 1:
Where I am now?
Card 2:
What Empowers me?
Card 3:
What keeps me company?
Card 4:
What shelters me?
Card 5:
What I seek here?
Card 6:
What I feel the need to create?
This spread can also be used with others. Each participant builds their own cave. All turn over Card 1 and all take turns giving their own interpretation of it and if the feeling is right, others may give ideas of what they see in another person's card.
