"Healing yourself is connected with healing others", Yoko Ono
"A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality", John Lennon
The Yoko quote came up among shrinks. What you have to do to heal is not selfish, it is in service to others (reverse blink). When I looked it up for the original context, I found it's paired with that quote of his ubiquitously.
"The term "hierophant" is the name of the fifth card in the Major Arcana of the Tarot deck, often depicted as a religious authority figure like a pope or priest. In the context of Tarot, the Hierophant embodies tradition, spiritual guidance, and structured learning."
The original/traditional card looks like the pope and represents teachers. To make my own set, I considered every symbol and intention of the original, then made collages that would work ON ME, that would bring to mind what the card intends but in MY language. So, when I must rely on my spirit (mind and body drained), what kind of spiritual guidance would help me? Who/what mentors me? The spirit of home, Buddha that sat by the door in Lewiston, flowers from my own garden, a mason jar not a fancy thing like what holds communion wafers, the woods not a church. And that photo of John and Yoko, "wholly giving over" (trust).
