Shadow Soul Spread
Today’s draw resulted in a Shadow Soul spread I have named Gaia’s Challenge, Love Without Condition.
This is going to be an interesting reading, so let’s get to it.

Shadow: Honor Gaia
Gaia is reminding us that we must remain diligent in our struggle to bring peace and healing to our world and all beings that inhabit it.
We can take a breather and regain our strength but we must not become complacent just because it doesn’t seem like any change is happening.
Which leads into the next Messenger in this spread.

Soul: Challenge Your Perception
When we take a step back and look at things with refreshed eyes we can start to see things we may not have noticed before.
This is something you may already be pretty good at, but it is something that we need to do frequently so we don’t lose focus or miss out on the changes we have put into effect.
When you don’t think anything is changing, close your eyes and plug your ears if only for a moment. When you open those senses back up basque in the refreshed perception of the world around you.

Let Two Be One: Love Without Condition
When we don’t put limits on our love we can accomplish so much for ourselves and those around us.
When we look around us and see our world refreshed we honor Gaia by allowing ourselves to glow with love.
Thus I have called this spread Gaia’s Challenge, Love Without Condition as this is something we all need to work towards being better at and it can require a challenge to our perception of our environment.
The Official Descriptions
Shadow
Honor Gaia is all about treating our planet and environment with kindness and care.
Without Gaia we would have no life to live.
Soul
Challenge Your Perception talks about not being able to challenge outdated perceptions or ignorance.
It really encourages viewing both sides of everything and finding where they are both true even if one does not seem that way initially.
Let Two Be One
Love Without Condition does not just apply to how you treat those around you, but yourself especially.
We can find it easy to get lost in how we treat others but forget that we are just as deserving of our own love.
Closing Thoughts
I feel that my interpretation of the spread is quite accurate though I would add that we need to apply Gaia’s Challenge, Love Without Condition to ourselves just as much as the world around us.
I do tend to forget about myself quite a bit and get lost trying to help others. So, let’s take today and focus on ourselves just a bit more and then let that spread into our norm.
Blessed Be!
