I asked the Symbolon cards to reveal a different perspective regarding mom’s death. The question I had in mind was this. What is it I am to learn from my mother’s death? There are obvious answers to this question but sometimes the cards, especially the Symbolon deck, shed a very profound message. This self-reading is part of my healing process.
The image below is the 3 card layout used in the LWB. The Symbolon deck is illustrated in this post for it’s creative beauty and to demonstrate how the cards answer questions which often cannot be answered by the Tarot or other oracle cards.

Matter&Spirit*The Magician*Caring
Position 1: The Problem
MATTER AND SPIRIT – Puzzling description in the LWB as this card can represent a new age business.
Quote: “…the spiritual property which you carry does not really belong to you. It has not yet begun the journey through the soul.”
I’ll have to meditate on this message a little further. Perhaps there is a clue to a direction I will take in the future which I cannot comprehend at this time.
Position 2: Way Through the Problem
THE MAGICIAN – A lot of time invested in conception and it is time for a sacrifice which will release the blocked energy within me. Positive thinking. Black and white magic.
In relation to the problem card I get the feeling I am suppose to carry through with some ideas I’ve had which have been put on a shelf temporarily. Is my mother’s death a trigger to moving ahead with these ideas?
Position 3: The Outcome
CARING – some keywords for this card are sympathy, grief and caring. I can relate to the ‘helper syndrome’ phrase because in my spiritual work this is what I do – help others.
Quote: ” …mother/child relationship has been restored within you.”
I love the Symbolon deck, but use it with care as the images are so strong and potent.
If this were my reading and question, “What is it I am to learn from my mother’s death? ”
- Matter is left behind when spirit returns to source and is welcomed Home. In spite of appearances , it is a joyous time and a beginning.
- Magic . Alchemy . We are , each of us creators of our reality as Mother was of hers.
- Nurture , care and love your own inner child, children and grandchildren. Children and grandchildren also teach you how to love and care for your own inner .
Thank you for sharing , Namasté ! x
P.S. As chance would have it , I drew the Caring card, YESTERDAY in answer to my question :” What is it that I really want ? “
