Week 3 & Week 4 of Advanced Techniques by Sarah Whitmire

Hello everyone!
Here you will see pictures from week 3 and week 4 of the Soul Journaling Advanced Techniques taught by the wonderful Sarah Whitmire.

This is by far one of my favorite things I've ever done. It took me a couple of weeks to get all the tags done - but I really enjoyed making them.

The next step was to make folders in our journal to put them in...and so, I did.

I'm actually pretty proud of this spread. The pictures don't do it enough justice, but I absolutely adore the simplicity of the pictures, the minimal amount of words, and the few doodles. I hope you enjoy!!

Also, I made my first watercolor journal a la Teesha today. Totally fun. All in all, it's been an extremely productive day!

xo!

You are Strength

Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.

This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.
