Creativity: Fire + Water

'From the alchemy of fire and water below to the divine light entering from above, the figure in this card is literally 'possessed by' the creative force. Really, the experience of creativity is an entry into the mysterious. Technique, expertise and knowledge are just tools; the key is to abandon oneself to the energy that fuels the birth of all things.

'This energy has no form or structure, yet all the forms and structures come out of it. It makes no difference what particular form your creativity takes - it can be painting or singing,  planting a garden or making a meal. The important thing is to be open to what wants to be expressed through you. Remember that we don't possess our creations; they do not belong to us.

'True creativity arises from a union with the divine, with the mystical and the unknowable. Then it is both a joy for the creator and a blessing to others.'

From the Osho Zen Tarot, this interpretation of the Major Arcana Tarot card 'Empress' appeals to me in my ongoing search for a good way to combine these two elements - Fire + Water = Creativity.

The card came up  this week when I tried the online reading sample that you'll find here (if you feel the need for some transcendental support also).  Share if you like!
