Card #69 — Darkness
“Sit with it.”
The Darkness card calls you to pause in the shadows rather than flee from them. Not all darkness is danger—sometimes it is rest, reflection, or the womb of transformation. What feels hidden may simply be waiting for its time to emerge.
Message
When Darkness appears, it’s an invitation to stop running from discomfort and instead lean into it. There is wisdom in the night, in silence, in the places we’d rather avoid. Darkness teaches patience and trust—it holds space for what cannot yet be seen.
This card reminds you that growth often happens in the unseen places: roots beneath soil, dreams before dawn, healing before the breakthrough. Sit with your shadows and listen. What you fear may simply be misunderstood power waiting to become light.
Affirmation
I honor the wisdom of the shadows. I trust what grows in the unseen.
