This Week: Man's Lies Whitewashed, Key To Successfully Pacifying The Public
W/c 5th December 2022
So we start the week with the lovely Rana George Lenormand and a 9-card spread.
Incense Burner: Purification, Cleansing, Atmosphere
Man: A Man Of Significance
Snake: A Problem, Difficulty or Betrayal
Birds: Communication, Talks, Discussion
Sun: Success, Victory, Happiness, Positivity
Coffin: Death, Ending
Key: Answer, Solution, Fate, Importance
Lilies: Age, Maturity, Experience, Peace, Older People
Garden: Public, Outside, People, Social World
At the centre, then, we have the Incense Burner, which usually represents cleansing, purification, often in a ritualistic sense. Reading the diamond around the centre, we see gaining victory over a problem (or a positive betrayal) shown by the Sun and Snake, but then a death or ending, a problematic or betrayed ending (Snake-Coffin). On the other side, there’s a positive sense of peace or calm that comes out of it (Sun-Lilies) or something older coming to an end (Lilies-Coffin).
The middle row tells of a problem “cleansed”, a betrayal purified (Snake-Incense Burner) and that’s given extra weight by the Lilies card. Whiter than white…
Above that, we have a successful and positive man who has the answer - or reveals it (Man-Sun-Key). Beneath? Public talk of a death or ending (Birds-Coffin-Garden).
Looking at the left hand column, we see a Man who has recently lied, spoken falsely (Man-Snake-Birds). The “now” situation in the central column gives us a positive or successful “cleansing” and a death or ending (Sun-Incense Burner-Coffin) and the “near future” shown in the right hand column suggests an important sense of peace for the public, or the key to gaining it (Key-Lilies-Garden).
Diagonally, these cards give us the Man, a cleansing or purification for the public (Man-Incense Burner-Garden), and the “key” to purifying (neutralising?) talk and chatter (Key-Incense Burner-Birds).
If we knight the cards, we have the man and a peaceful ending (Man, Lilies, Coffin), a problem or betrayal where the public and our view is of significance (Snake, Key-Garden), and talk that is positive and peaceful - or may harp on a glorious past (Birds, Sun, Lilies). The Sun is knighted by the Birds and Garden, so this is someone looking for positive public talk about something, and the ending or “death” involves an important man or someone who played a big part in that (Coffin, Man-Key). Knighting the Key shows us that both the problem or lies and the ending or death were hugely important (Key, Snake, Coffin), and the Lilies, that a sort of whiter-than-white sheen is given to the man in terms of how he speaks or is spoken about (Lilies, Man, Birds). Finally, the public (Garden) and the sense that the problem is successfully overcome (Garden, Sun, Snake) - or perhaps it was for our own good.
This feels like a reading about someone’s political “spin” to me, a sort of attempt to whitewash or plaster over previous problems and lies and pacify the public. Whether it’s UK or US, or even Russia, I’m not sure, given politicians and those in power are pretty much the same the world over. As are many of the big problems we’ve all seen that this could relate to; pandemic, war, financial disaster, on top of the more “usual” types of scandals.
A successful “purification” or whitewash of a man’s lies or betrayal in order to pacify or mollify an opinionated public is key, especially connected with deaths or endings much talked about by the public.
