Gift and Challenge Game.
Found on AT and based on an exercise from a book by Rachel Pollack.
Pull one card and give a positive meaning (the gift) and a negative/shadow meaning (the challenge) of that card. To start us off 8 of Wands GIFT - swift progress towards your goal. CHALLENGE - things are happening too fast and you feel overwhelmed. |
Three of Pentacles -
Gift: Apprenticing the solidarity of help and togetherness. Challenge: productivity over emotional currency (hope I am doing this right :/ Not sure if I draw another random ) |
The Knight of Wands
Gift: coming to help someone out. Challenge: getting somewhat distracted and ending up not showing |
The Devil (eep, what a card)
Gift: Locked in! This would be a great card if you're wondering if you'll still be in a contract/mortgage etc... apparently it's also one of the more sensual cards in the deck. Challenge: Again it's about being locked in... but it's challenging when you don't want to be as committed as circumstances are asking of you. The good news here is that people are usually able to extricate themselves, but don't want to for some reason or the other. |
4 of Swords
GIFT - the 5 P's (usually it's 6 but had to remove one) Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance. Challenge - being unprepared with no solid plan. |
The Sun
GIFT. You're feeling on top of the world and nothing can go wrong. CHALLENGE. Learning a bit more than you really wanted to. The truth can be liberating but only if you want to hear it. |
7 of Athames:
GIFT: Success through diplomacy and tact, not confrontation. It requires an agile mind and determination. CHALLENGE: Overcoming lack of confidence and not believing in yourself (abilities) enough, fear of expressing your truth |
Queen of Swords
GIFT: Clear-headed, foresight, and the ability to see everything as it is. CHALLENGE: All of the above... at the cost of dampening down your emotions and getting them out of the way :D |
7 of Swords
GIFT: Having the ability to think outside the square, finding solutions to problems using unconventional methods. CHALLENGE: Not to get caught out. This is someone who will try and get away with something in the hope his deception isn't found out. |
Ace of Wands
GIFT: An epiphany! The spark which enables creative endeavors. CHALLENGE: Avoid maelstroms, leading to burn-out. |
