Draw for May 1, 2016: Hela/Death, Yr (reversed), The Volva/Four of Swords.
Well, isn’t this a cheery way to bring in the May? It would do quite well for a Samhain reading for our friends in the Southern Hemisphere. But it’s what we have today, so let’s take a closer look and see how it might work with the energies of Spring.
Hela as the Active Influence tells you in no unequivocal terms that the situation is done, done, done. There’s nothing left. When there’s nothing left to hold onto, you have to let go and move on.
The Volva as the Hidden Influence reinforces Hela’s message of letting the past go, and keeping it behind you. There is nothing to be gained by revisiting prior events, and the potential to do a lot of damage and derail yourself is high. Just don’t go back there.
Yr is reversed. Often I would read this as a caution against losing focus, but given today’s cards, it reads to me that you do need to lose focus—on the past. Focus on the present moment, focus on the future. Take the day to detach yourself from what binds you and holds you back.
Move on, into the Spring, into the season of renewal for those welcoming Spring, and the season of rest for those moving towards Winter.
