The Journey of SeasonsAs the journey flows, it experiences the cycle of the seasons. CARD DESCRIPTION: Mama Gaia’s four seasons are presided over by the heavenly directions. In the center, we see the light-giving sun surrounded by the planets of our Solar system. In the spring, a cherry tree blooms. A rabbit rests in its shade. A tiny squirrel sniffs its way to summer to meet a porcupine foraging at the bottom of an apple tree. Robins and Steller’s jays play in the trees. More trees, this time in glossy yellows, oranges and reds, stand in an autumn park. Fat pumpkins await Halloween. Snow-decked mountains rise into a winter-blue sky. A stag stands, still and proud, before a house nestled into winter pines. Snow gently falls. |
These questions and answers are only places to start from/gain inspiration from.

SITTING WITH THIS CARD: As you feel into these seasonal scenes, what surfaces? What does your heart say?
|
Sitting with this card, I think about how much I used to resist winter in the Pacific Northwest (after living in Florida) and how unhelpful resistance is. Because what goes up must come down, what goes round, comes around. I want to emulate natural world and recognize the flow of things.

SEASONS INTERLACES WITH
19 – Kinship 28 – Play |
To me, Kinship and Play interlace with Seasons by transforming change from something to endure into something to live into—together, and with heart. Kinship reminds me that the seasons don’t turn in isolation and that play is always an option, giving rise to curiosity and delight. Together, Kinship and Play reveal that change is not just survivable—it’s a shared, unfolding story of joy, if we let it. |
