Description
The Dark Veil represents an oppressive force in our life that clouds our judgment and breaks us down. It is a chaotic shadow that obscures our healthiest potential, draining our strength and overall wellness. This could take on the form of a negative relationship, a mental-state of entrapment, an unhealthy obsession, or some kind of addiction. It may also indicate a lack of moderation or self-control, and the self-defeating patterns from which we must learn to release ourselves.
Deeper Lesson
Yet despite these frightening setbacks, there is a deeper lesson that emerges from the essence of this key. It illuminates those moments of total revelation when we are finally able to step back and re-route our steps. When we literally go through hell and back and know that we are profoundly more resilient because of how far we have been pushed. After this, we are reborn from the ashes of our wounds. This is the ultimate alchemy for growth, when our self-love becomes brighter and more expansive as a result of the shadows that we learn to transmute into new gems of light. These become our beacons in the dark.
REVERSED
It is important to bring your attention to any potential negativities in your life. Perhaps there are people, substances, or temptations that may not be good for you in the long-run. Remaining detached and uninfluenced allows you to gain a stronger sense of self, which is vital for your spiritual growth and overall health.
