This is the newest card I've made, sometime in September at a SoulCollage Workshop I was leading at my home. It's interesting because I'm not usually drawn to images like the model in the foreground, but I was drawn to her that day and still am now.
I held her up against many background images before settling on this one, which also seemed equally powerful to me.
When I started to do the interpretation, I couldn't decide which "voice" on the card was the loudest for me, so I did some I Am The One Who's from BOTH of them! And then I did a short dialogue that was really an eye-opener for me. Here goes:
#1- Woman with the flower: I am the one who is strutting my stuff. I am the one who is whipping around this fragile flower and not even worried that it might break. I am the one who is immensely confident. I am the one who does what I want, whatever the HELL I want and everyone else be damned.
#2- Woman in background: I am the one who is laying back. My eyes are half open. I am the one whose face is half scratched off. I am the one who has a glowing flower over my head, in my crown chakra. I am the one who is almost asleep, or almost awake... and I don't know which.
#1- Hey you... girlfriend! WAKE UP ALREADY!!! It's time to rise and shine and smell the flowers. Wake up to the Divine, do you hear me girl???
#2- Oh, I don't know. I'm kindof wanting to go back to sleep. Do I HAVE to wake up? This is very restful like this.
#1- YES, Damnit! Wake up. WAKE UP. You have to wake up now. You've had a nice long rest. Now open your eyes.
#2- Do you mean metaphorically or in real time and space?
#1- Oh for God's sakes... stop being in your head all the time... just WAKE UP!!!
WOW...great card!! This card really resonated with me..I am really drawn to those images also. Hope she gives you the message that you need!!

Wonderful! I've never thought to dialogue between images within a card, but I know I have a few where it's hard to distinguish which figure is the "main" neter. Fruitful!

Love the dialogue! I use dialogue in journaling - but usually between 'me' & my spirit guide . . . this gives a new twist & offers a new dimension to the process. Thanks for sharing
