This month, the last month of this year, our IChing Reading is Water over Wind or The Well No 48 by your IChing Reader Angelica Danton.
Practically Wells have always provided water and sustenance through history to those who needed it, and in the IChing Hexagram of the Well. We also see symbolically the many blessings that we are given by the elements of water air fire and earth when in balance around us.
This month as we prepare to celebrate the Christmas Season in traditional or non traditional ways, our Reading for this month gets us to focus on the needs of our physical body for good nutrition and rest and our spiritual needs by sharing our food and gifts with our families and friends as well as extending the well of human kindness and spiritual sustenance to others around us including those who need it most.
Sharing the Love in a non-cynical sincere way is important to us this month in the way also of the Well hexagram.
In the whirl of modern living we have forgotten the importance of home and hearth or sharing on a deeper level with those around us and in the wider World.
Write down a meditation in your journal this month about your own “Well of Power” that strength that comes from within. Have you been heroic in your life journey by facing challenges and or misfortune?
Seek out who you relate to in myth or legend and write up your Mythic Journey understanding the power of the Archetypes to inspire and enlighten you. As the great inspirational teacher Joseph Campbell wrote “Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there was only walls”.
This month find what gives you joy and share it!
If you find certain areas or parts are lacking band together with trusted souls or companions to keep the hope alive. Create better conditions do not just dream about doing so but do dream on as that is where your inspirations arise.
End the year by reflecting positively on your pathway both spiritual and physical as you call in the New on December 31st.
Have a beautiful and safe Christmas and New Year with who and what you love and I will see you again in the 2025 for your Monthly Reading.
