Card of the day 1/12/2018

.Today's card of the day is brought to you by the Chrysalis Tarot and is the 6 of mirrors.  
The keyword is Memories.  
I have had this card pop up in my own readings many times.  I am often puzzled by the context within the reading.  Today is a good day to look at this card more closely.
The six of cups (the analogue of this card) talks about nostalgia and sweet memories.
The image on the card today shows a pan-like sidhe playing the pipes to soothe the mind bringing sweet memories of the past.
These memories can bring comfort and healing.  Sweet memories of our ancestors and remembering their wisdom and love.  The wisdom of the past can enlighten the path of the present.  The six reflecting pools represent the healing power of these memories. 
In my mind though, I keep hearing a warning. While memories can be sweet, to get lost in them takes us backward rather than forward.  To be caught up in trying to reconstruct the past, we are missing the gift of the present.  
So today may be a day of remembering those who have gone before us, their wisdom and insights wait for us to see and understand.  Just be careful to not get lost in trying to recreate the past, but to use the past to create a brilliant future. 
​ Thank you for letting me work that out.  Have a great day! ~Mamma Moon
