sunset * six of wands * 2/78 * surfer tarot * from stereotype to archetype * the Way of the Surfer

The horizon is the line that lets you know you live on the edge of the earth, and are living in space, and upon our “spaceship earth.” Water emotion meets “mind” sky at “sea” level, and at our mind’s eye. The red sky is symbolic of life force and “mana,” which gives rise to the “majestic splendor” we see and feel at dusk. As twilight turns to nightfall, we more readily touch upon feelings of passion and sensuality, and are more likely to be thinking of our lust, and perhaps even of a “buck wild” eroticism. The mythical surfer summer romance is with the “not soon to be forgotten” beach goddess, where we share magical moments of beauty and glory, as “closing ceremony” and “climax” to a “feelgood” day, and a “summer of love.” Expansive under the “native sun,” we are “in the pink,” and in love, and nestled well within our “heart center.” Our soft and calming glow, reflects the serenity and sublimity of a day now put to rest.

We hate for it to end, as we sometimes reminisce on the day now passed. Trials and tribulations have been acknowledged, as the outcome is now evident, and the day’s tally in. For some, they were stuck behind computer and on the phone all day, and never got outside. Others were lazy and idle and didn’t give it their best, nor live a full day. For those not grateful or thankful for the day, life is unfulfilling and vague. “Arrogance dims any achievement,” and “unknowingly turns away or puts off those wishing to honor you.” There is tension from “missed opportunity,” and for no “people to see,” or “places to be.”

Everything comes to an end. Accept things as they are and just don’t let things get so problematic next time. Sharks come out at dusk. Know when to leave and say good bye. Is the curtain closing on your “falling star?” Fortune turns overnight, and comes from an unexpected “source.” Your day will come again. Are things “slipping away” or “falling off?” It will “dawn” another day. Rejoin your circle of friends. Show your admiration and share an appreciation for things. Have you “gone off,” and out over the edge? Do you still believe that this “whole” earth is flat? Invite magic back into your life. Know her “amazing grace.” Daily maintenance and meditation are required. “Magic happens.” Give “thanks and praise” to her in gratitude. “Immediacy” is lesson learned. Are you living in the past, or resting on your laurels? “Conceit is self defeat.” Pay your respects to “this,” most glorious day. Develop faith in yourself. Are you prepared for naught? “See red.” Find courage, and the will power and strength, to give it your all. Exhausted from doing your best? Spare the time to call it a good day. Rest up and plan ahead. New board and swell will arrive just in time to accept that invitation to travel. At sunset our faith is restored.
