27. Oak

Wisdom

Don't just look within; dive deeply into the eternal realms of knowing.

Wisdom isn't a static thing: it evolves, changes and adapts as you learn new ways of knowing. Before you can be wise you must be willing to accept that you don't have all of the answers. Oak is here to change your perspective. Like an old, wise grandfather, Oak guides you to evaluate your beliefs to see if anything is out of alignment with who you are today. Perhaps what you knew to be true is now directly opposite from what you currently believe, or perhaps who you thought you were supposed to be when you were younger is now completely different from who you actually are.

Just like wisdom, your goals will evolve as time goes on. Some goals will be left behind while others will morph into something else entirely. It's important to regularly check back in with where you are to make sure you are still situated on the most illuminated path. If you are confused about your next steps, Oak reminds you to reach out to the unseen support all around you: commune with nature, the spirits and the universe, and ask them to guide you.
