Ice Cave
Description:
This was the seventh card that I made in September 2006. It was the first card I made in my own home and I made it intuitively. I have not found it's voice until today when it fell out of my deck following a conversation with someone about Persephone. It's one of the cards I made in a larger collage and then reduced to fit my deck. I love the colours in the ice that, for me, are warm shades of blue. I love the princess dress but also the way this princess is not the classic victim who is rescued - she is self-sufficient and happy to connect with the deep. The lily speaks of the growth that is found if one approaches the Underworld well. The candles signify that such a journey is sacred and the naked woman is surrendering herself to the lesson.
Gateway to the Underworld SoulCollge Card
Who are you?
I am the one who enters the cave of ice with confidence.
I am the one who is open to connecting with the deep waters.
I am the one who is not afraid to visit the Underworld.
I am the one who lights the sacred journey.
I am the one who actively surrenders to the journey.
I am the one who finds growth in the lesson.
I am the one who sees the light at the end of the tunnel.
What do you have to give me?
I give you a doorway to the Underworld. I remind you to look below and seek the lesson. I give you growth that nourishes you.
What do you want from me?
I want you to go below the surface with poise and purpose.

I love the story of Demeter, Persephone’s mother – her strength, her despair, her wrath. As an Aries Mother I think I have always identified with her with my own kids, and I watch my daughter with her son do the same: cross her with reference to her son and watch teeth and claws come out. And I know just where she got that.
This card it lovely. All your cards are lovely. I need to make some more cards.
And talking of hibernating bears as I work my way down your blog – this is a wonderful image of the depths!
Well done indeed!
