Hermit Wisdom Question: What is the wisdom of age that we most need to learn?
Basic answer: 11-Justice-Aventurine, 14-Temperance-Rose Quartz, 10-Wheel-Botswana Agate. Throughout our lives, we try to do the right thing/embody morality/be good, and take care of ourselves by having balanced physical and mental health, but chance and change always take a role in how things turn out.
What causes us to learn this wisdom? 21-Universe-Onyx. Because that’s the way the world is. Nothing in this life and in this world is perfect, and nothing is all one way or the other, everything is always blended.
How do we receive this wisdom? 7-Chariot-Amethyst. If you live long enough, it makes itself known in the course/ride of life.
How can we actively pursue this wisdom? 6-Lovers-Rhodochrosite. Unconditional love/acceptance gives is the first clue that nothing and no-one is perfect, but that doesn’t mean that it/she/he doesn’t have value. We love anyway. This is the active understanding of impermanence.
What is the outcome of learning this wisdom? 8-Fortitude-Tiger Eye. All wisdom, if we accept it, makes us stronger, but accepting what we can’t change and what changes us is true strength.
How should we live with/live out this wisdom? 14-Temperance-Rose Quartz repeated. Although the concept of the unity of opposites sounds esoteric, or at least complicated, in practice it just makes sense. Life is a unique and usually unforeseen combination of cause and chance. And the higher wisdom of Temperance is acceptance. There is no use railing against fate. That’s the result of an unbalanced, one-sided vision of life that can only cause an unbalanced, one-sided way of life.
Hmm, interesting reading. Using all majors/stones in a reading does make it a bit more abstract, but I think the reading flowed and made a lot of sense.
