This week's Celtic Oracle card is Druid Dhubh, or the blackbird. This is the bird of enchantment. In Celtic lore, the blackbird had a song that could send a person into a trance and allow them access to the faerie realm. This card represents self discovery, awareness, and exploring the depths of the subconscious. The way the wing feathers intersect in this image makes me think of union. The practice of magic is to know thyself. In knowing ourselves, really and truly, we know the divine aspect within us. We are made one with that part of creation that is us. This is true knowledge. In knowing ourselves, we know everything else, as we are all different expressions of Divinity.Allow the hidden parts of yourself to be front and center this week. See what these parts of you attract, and what is pushed away.
