This card represents the root of the matter; what has gone before, and is directly related to the current situation. Check to see how the energies of this card blend with the other six cards; remember that it moves with each mystery in a different way.

Meaning: This card indicates that the wind of change is blowing, but the seeming sudden changes that occur come as the results of past efforts - whether for good or ill - though they will lead to a new phase in your life when you will grow enormously. It calls upon you to be sensitive to the ebb and flow of the cycles surrounding you. Things don't always happen when we want them to, but instead when it is their season.

This card shows the energies of the first mystery of universal love in the life of the querent. It explains how the querent's actions manifest in the surrounding world, whether following a harmonious Wyrd or a flawed one.

This card can indicate a particular attraction to the occult, a thirst for secret knowledge.

This card indicates the fifth mystery of wisdom, power, and lineage in the life of the querent.

The card can also tell you from what source the querent should draw to assist in the issue at hand.

Meaning: This card indicates that a willing sacrifice of some kind will be called for. You will be forced to recognize the necessity of change, which involves letting one thing go to gain another, whether this concerns relationships, possessions, or personal growth. On a deeper level, the Sacrifice card is asking you to look at your attitudes toward control. Sometimes it is necessary to relax and let go, to let events take their course.
