Interpretation & Meaning

Monet - a card from the inclusive oracle deck

Claude (he/him) liked painting outside.

Easel, canvas, bug spray, snacks – that stuff is heavy to carry, cumbersome, but he liked it better outside.  

As he stood by the bridge and the light hit the pond, reds ambushed greens and yellows chased pinks – was it a war or something else?

They said his paintbrush slit like a knife, but every stroke felt like waltzing with that fleeting landscape and all he ever wanted was to be one with the scenery. Not subverting centuries of pictorial art, just being part of that specific sunset in that specific Summer evening.

When this card shows up in a reading, it’s time to become one with all the sceneries of your life.

You need to live every moment like there’s no past or future attached to it, learn to be present because “present” is the only real thing you can be. Breathe deep, feel your body, take in every glance and word like it’s a harmless, inevitable part of the now.

This is an invitation to practice mindfulness, living the moment, spontaneity. It’s also symbolic of any kind of sensorial experience, from having sex to immersing yourself in nature.

This card ensures you can find happiness in the many nows of your life if you learn to experience them without fear, appreciate their beauty and trust your senses.

Keywords: spontaneity • living the moment • mindfulness • ecology • elegance • sensuality • style • beauty • elegance • harmony • peace • relaxed • nature • senses
