William Blake Tarot: Seven Of Poetry

While doing today’s tarot, I was absolutely delighted to find the Seven Of Poetry as my final outcome.  The Seven Of Poetry can only be found in the William Blake deck and it signifies BOLDNESS.

Publisher’s description: “The figure of Joy, depicted as a statuesque young woman in flowing robes, has the blush of life on her cheeks and her expression is notably calm as she looks Death in the eye without flinching. Boldly, she strides toward him with her right or spiritual foot, and her right hand upon her heart emphasizes her sincerity. Joy is the fearless spirit of life. The figure of Death, by contrast, is angry at her boldness, and towers over her menacingly. His left foot is forward, his right hand points backward, and he threatens her with his arrow of destruction (at upper right). Even knowing that you cannot win, with boldness you can still tell the truth.”

Today’s final outcome reading sounds like pretty good advice for all Witches and Revolutionaries (even armchair revolutionaries):

“The times require that every one should speak out boldly: …every man should do his duty, in Arts, as well as in Arms, or in the Senate”. Standing up for yourself and your beliefs. Telling the truth despite everything. Tests of integrity, firmness, and commitment. Doing the right thing even though it hurts. Facing the envy or enmity of others. Proving yourself against rivals and competitors. Finding the courage to resist organized, institutional, or governmental oppression. In the creative process: Maintain your artistic tenacity and courage despite any criticism, disapproval, or influence of societal prejudices or market pressures.

Advice taken!!!

Even knowing that you cannot win, with boldness you can still tell the truth.
