Imbolc Spread: The Well and the Forge
This coming Saturday, February 2nd I am celebrating Imbolc. This year I believe our group is focusing more along the lines of the healing and water aspects of the goddess Brid (Brigid), but last year our sabbat used the dual aspects of Brid as the keeper of the well and forge (water and fire).
Respecting the dual aspects of the Well and the Forge, I have created a simple two-card tarot spread. Imbolc is an excellent time for divination, so I hope you use this spread during this time!
1st card: The Well: What situation do you need greater compassion in? Healing? Emotional empathy?
2nd card: The Forge: What situation do you need more drive in? Aggression? Force of will?
Let us not forget that the realm of fire can purify just as well as destroy, and water can destroy just as easily as heal. Please feel free to use this tarot spread as a jumping off point for your own personal tarot spread creations.
Blessings, and Happy Imbolc,
Hilary

Excellent points about Fire and Water, Hilary. In Tarot, I think many (women?) tend to castigate the masculine suits (Swords and Wands, represented by Air and Fire) and celebrate the feminine suits (Cups and Coins, represented by Water and Earth). But each have powerful qualities to both empower AND disempower, as you pointed out.
