The 15 Directions of The Spiral - (7) North-West

Spiritual Energy:
The Spirit of the Grandmothers

Key Quality:
The Inner Sense of Knowing

This direction is supported by the Spirit of the Grandmothers: those guides and spiritual energies  you can call on for advice when you have things to understand about the world. They connect you with your inner sense of knowing.

The Grandmothers of the Wheel of Life nurture us, offering us their understanding of the inner workings of creation. They teach us, not as a parent, but with humor and patience, seeing the potential that we have yet to develop.

If you have drawn a card in this direction, you are being called on to tap your inner knowing. The Wise Woman speaks to you from within and teaches you of all that is needed for a true win-win situation in the relationship you are asking about. Just as grandparents have the gift of distance that allows them to be in relationship with compassion, so you must distance yourself at times from the situation at hand in order to deal with other people without investing in the resolution of their issues. Be patient - with yourself, the situation, and all others involved. Remember the adage: "Be Patient. God’s not finished with me yet!"
