Sovereignty meditation - Lesson 22

I've always found Sovereignty one of the more difficult cards in the Arthurian Tarot. I've tried unsuccessfully before to get into the meditation for this card, but on Sunday night, for some reason, it was easy.

I sat before Lady Sovereignty in her fine red robes and she offered me a cup which contained white liquid. I saw a young girl running into the labyrinth. This is what she said:

I like to write in pink for a girl's healing heart. I like to play in the maze. The lady says I must pick up any stones I move and put them back. She says that because I have walked the maze 9 times, now I must walk it 3x9 times and then I can claim the 3 moon crystals from the centre and I can put the maze questions in my book. Lady Sovereignty will accept my answers.

I identified with the little girl. She was reminding me how to play and not to take myself too seriously. The labyrinth is fun and walking it is an easy way to meditate. I did the walk 27 times as suggested - nearly giving up when I felt a little boredom creep in. Then I remembered how the little girl was laughing, running and skipping - she was not bored and so I kept on. Sovereignty's "gift" was three-fold: first, to collect the 3 crystals I'd left in the centre of the maze. These were beautifully charged up and I realised that they would neatly represent the moon in her 3-phases; girl, woman and crone. Secondly, she accepted the answers I had given to the labyrinth meditation at new moon - of course, she will hold me to them! Thirdly, she gave me a clear visualisation.

The visualisation was a little uncomfortable as Sovereignty showed me how the state of this quinta is a clear reflection of the state of me (Feng Shui in practice). For example, the vegetable patch where all my early efforts are now withering in the heat of summer is like the projects I have started and not nurtured through to completion. There was much more like this, but it shames me to write it publicly. In other words, Sovereignty gave me a wake-up call and dished out some rough Justice.
