12 Intention Cards for 2023
New Year's Eve the other day was 13 Iq' in the Mayan calendar, an ideal day for divination and receiving communication from the spirit world and the ancestors. Plus, it was the last day of 2022, a banner year for many humans.
I hence sat on the balcony overlooking the lake, got myself centered, concentrated on the coming four seasons of the new calendar year, and pulled 12 cards (4 each from 3 decks). I hope they resonate with you and wish you a peaceful, heart-centered, joyous year ahead.
