Hmm! I don't often read an oracle card intuitively, but here goes (note I did what you described at the top first and will also share my two cards).
Question: In what way might I be folding inwards? Looking at the image on the Mojo Bag, perhaps I am closing myself up as I ground myself, forgetting to perhaps add some flavour to my day. I seem to have lost the sweet and savouriness along the way, noting that the salt is out, which would be good for protection, and so is what looks like raisins to me. Raisins, a great tool to really practice mindfully being present, and a quick burst of sweetness that life needs. Perhaps I need to approach life with a pinch of salt, and mindfully reconnect to my senses in the present moment.
As the bag is tightly closed, perhaps so am I. The red symbolizes so many things, among which is root chakra, a need to feel secure and safe. It's also a dual political meaning right now. On the one hand it represents Canada and liberal views, and on the other it represents the big red elephant that is threatening it. Folding inwards then perhaps in self-protection, in an attempt at working out how to address any fears.
Druidcraft Tarot - 8 of Cups - feeling like I'm going against the flow, and walking upwards, turning my back on old relational patterns, recognizing that I need to let go of something, to retreat and recharge, and reconnect with my core purpose. Maybe I need to reconnect without worries for the exact destination.
Little Ghosts Oracle - 28 Flitting Around - I may be forgetting to just "flit around" like a social butterfly, and taking things a little too seriously. Forgetting perhaps what is important in life isn't always measured by the big events or the challenges that we face. Forgetting that everything I live is part of my history and that includes chance encounters of little importance, making small talk with strangers, making things without a purpose attached, just for fun. Perhaps, being so concentrated on accomplishing goals that I'm not taking the time to enjoy the journey. A reminder to lift my head up and still live life, rather than staying in my head worrying about elephants.
Anyway, those are my impressions. I think there is overlap but each oracle and tarot card has given me a different perspective.
Christine, I love what you did here, and I appreciate your willingness to be so open about your own fears/struggles. The reality is there IS a big red elephant that's on the rampage and it strikes fear in many of us. But you're right when you talk about concentrating on the present moment and embracing the joy of every breath we are given. Thank you so much!
