‘Natura’

‘Iris in a Midsummer Night’s Dream’
by John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836 – 1893 English)

This card is about Nature in her purity, raw, real, virgin. Natura is the goddess aspect of Nature, the personification of her divinity, as Gaia is to earth. This card recognizes the essential nature of things, the turning of seasons, the transformation of elements, the temporal quality of everything. It is also about the innocence, the absolute natural flow and change in the pure nature of things, the world of nature, the body and heart and spirit of Natura.

May you see, know, feel Natura within the nature around you and nature within you, feel her timeless care and endless turning, blessing you always with light and shadow, rain and sun, wind and warmth, all the ways she touches you, reassuring you that you are not alone, you are part of her and she will always be there with you.
