#MonthofSpreads Day Twelve: Strength Definer

I’ve never used this deck before this moment. It’s been waiting in the wings for me to finish reading the author’s quartet of books, which are linked to the deck. (I’m on to book two.) But this read called for strength, and immediately, this deck struck me as the strongest deck I own. So here we are.

1. How do I define strength?
Five of Wands
Defending yourself in the face of opposition, sticking to your guns, upholding self-belief in your own choices and ideas

2. Where do I achieve this strength from?
X – Wheel of Fortune
Cyclical change, this too shall pass, comfort in the seasons of life

Thoughts
I define strength as conviction and holding to the decisions and choices I make, and the ideas I have developed about what is best for me, even in the face of scepticism, ridicule or abuse. Strength comes from knowing things will not remain the way that they are, that sun follows rain, or rain comes after baking sun. There are things I cannot avoid, but I can weather them. That is strength.
