Card #38 — The Teacher
“Teach what broke you.”
The Teacher card embodies wisdom forged in fire. It is not about perfection or theory, but about sharing the lessons carved from your scars. What broke you has also made you a guide.
Message
This card calls you to transform your pain into purpose. The hardships you’ve endured are not wasted—they hold truths that others need. By teaching what you’ve survived, you become a light for those still finding their way through the dark.
The Teacher also reminds you that you don’t need to have all the answers. What you offer is not perfection, but honesty. Sharing your story, your resilience, and your lessons is enough. Your wounds carry wisdom, and your experience is your gift.
Whether you teach formally or simply by example, your life itself is the classroom. Others are learning by how you stand, speak, and keep moving forward.
Affirmation
I share the wisdom my wounds have taught me. My story is a guide for others.
