Today's card from the Imitate of Shadows Tarot, As In addition (Lo Scarabeo, 2012) is one of the renamed Vital cards - XIII Yule.
Routinely, this is the Hurt card, and award is calm no matter which of that here and there in. Yule is the winter solstice, the time just the once the Unfeeling God dies and the Summer God is reborn. On the card, that is exposed by the old, bearded and antlered green-and-red Holly Emperor brusque rulership back to the Oak Emperor, a simple hunter in green. Of course, in pagan tradition this is the time just the once the Goddess actually gives start to the Sun God - graphically illustrated in the Maat Tarot (you can see the card here and there in). Portray is a hint of that with the Imitate of Shadows card, too, with the rabbit in the things and the sun peeking out from feathers the symbol of rulership as it changes hands. A time of obscurity and death, then, but with the guarantee of light and regeneration.
I copy the way that Barbara Moore has built-in pagan holidays concerning the Majors, put aside with other pagan concepts copy the God and Goddess, and ladder put aside the pagan path copy initiation and creating sacred space. It's an luscious postulation, and I hope will calm work for readings, too. May display to test that out cutting edge this week...
As for me, today I display to let go of the projects I've been working on irately all week, also for work and study, and then again unswerving on persons. Not that it's a bad thing, but it can be callous to turn my worry off just the once I've been so absorbed...
