Every week we will draw a card from the scrolls and sit with its meaning .
- The Winds of Vision
Mythic Meaning
The Winds of Vision arise when the mind lifts beyond its familiar horizon.
This card speaks of the moment perception expands . When thought becomes sky-wide and insight arrives not through effort, but elevation.
The Sky-Dragon does not force but opens to revelation.
It carries awareness upward, until patterns once invisible reveal themselves naturally.
This is the power of Air in its Yang current:
Clarity, vision, synthesis and cosmic intelligence moving freely.
When this card appears, the seeker is being invited to see from a greater height and to trust intuition informed by knowing rather than fear or noise.
The Winds of Vision arise when consciousness lifts high enough to see patterns rather than fragments.
It speaks of expanded perception not imagination, but clarity gained through altitude. Like a sky-dragon gliding above clouds, the mind is no longer entangled in details it sees relationships, trajectories, and hidden connections.
This is not restless thinking or anxious analysis.
It is clear air, clean thought, far-seeing awareness.
The Winds of Vision come when:
• confusion dissolves into understanding
• questions reframe themselves into insights
• truth arrives suddenly, fully formed
• the mind becomes a lens rather than a cage
⸻

THE DESCENT OF MIRRORS
Card Archetype: Water – Yin (Inner Worlds)
Theme: Reflection, Shadow Illumination, Descent into the Soul-Depths
🌑 What the Card Teaches
1. The descent is gentle when walked with intention.
Your healing does not require force. It requires presence.
2. Reflections arrive when you are ready.
Each mirror lights up only when a truth is prepared to be seen.
3. You are guided.
The moon behind the figure suggests an inner guiding light — intuition, memory, ancestral presence, or dream wisdom.
4. The mirrors are not judgments.
They show possibility, transformation, and lost brilliance — not flaws.
⸻
🌊 Message
You are walking into a time of heightened intuition, emotional clarity, and inner retrieval. Dreams, synchronicities, or old memories may surface. Patterns become visible. You begin to see your motives, wounds, and desires with new compassion.
This is the cleansing descent before the rising.

🜁 I Myth of the Descent of Mirrors
Long before the Octaves were sung into being, the Waters of the First World were still and lightless,vast enough to hold every untold memory of creation. In this primordial sea lived Myrulana, the Moon-Bearer, whose silver eyes reflected not the outer world, but every dream and fear hidden inside the hearts of all living beings.
Myrulana carried a mirror made not of glass but of liquid memory. It was said that she never walked among the living until the Day of the First Dissonance when beings began to forget who they were, and shadows formed within them for the first time.
Seeing the world fracture, Myrulana descended from the Moon Gate into the ocean’s deepest trench, where she released her mirror. Instead of sinking, it split into a thousand reflections, each drifting through the currents into the dreams of humankind.
There, they became the Mirrors of Descent:
• One shows the face you hide
• One shows the face you fear
• One shows the face you could become
• And one reveals the face you have always been
The myth teaches that those who seek truth must descend gently, like Myrulana, into their own waters braving distortion, illusion, and shadow. Only when all reflections are seen can the true self rise again.
Thus the card carries her blessing:
“To know your truth, descend. To rise, reflect.”
The mirrors in this card are not flat surfaces — they are portals.
Each one reflects a memory, a truth, an emotional imprint. They show:
• What has been suppressed
• What longs for recognition
• What is ready to be released
• What is waiting to return to you
The woman’s downward path through the greenery and stone signals a descent that is not dark but sacred, calm, and deliberate.
This is a pilgrimage into inner honesty.
