The Finale

The Butterfly People has been my personal interpretation of the meaning of the Tarot cards. The Rider-Waite Tarot has been the version I have used, and they can be used to accompany the reading of The Butterfly People. 

Embodied in The Butterfly People is the framework on which I have deliberately chosen to hang my life. This could be said to be the ideology by which I live. My ideology works for me and has brought me a happy life. My inner Guide and Friend has brought me wisdom to help me cope with lifes many challenges and overcome difficulties.

Everyone has a framework, an ideology. They may not have formalized it, but their actions demonstrate what they believe. Everyone chooses what they believe and how they want to live their lives. For instance, an Atheist is not likely to be attending any place of worship. A person who thinks they already know what they believe, and how they want to live, is not likely to be pursuing wisdom. Based on their own feelings, environment and experiences, everyone chooses how they will view life. They find this view in everything they contact; this may be religious or political systems, books, teachers, or other people. This should be their right. The results of their choices are their responsibility, and by which they can grow should they choose to do so.

To use the cards for a meditation while pondering a concern, shuffle the deck while considering the situation. Then pick three cards, or whatever number of cards you have decided beforehand. Lay them out in your own pre-chosen pattern. Usually, the reading begins with the past, moves on to the present, then shows a possible future. The meanings of each card will come into your mind as you work with them. Trust what is being revealed. They are your cards, and they will speak to you. This can also be done to give a reading to a friend to help them sort out their feelings and thoughts on any matter that is troubling them. 

I hope you have enjoyed my Butterfly People, and if not already one of them, perhaps will consider joining them. 

The Butterfly People sing a joyful song

They dance filled with delight

Each sings and dances alone

Now they join with each other, laughing

Dancing into a developing pattern

Greeting the beautiful Bird of Paradise

As they dance into Eternity
