Four of Wands<\/p>\n
This follows the “when will my ships come in?” card of the Three of Wands – or “will my ships come in at all,” which is how the whole East Coast has been feeling in the grip of Hurricane Sandy. The 4 of Wands is generally celebratory in most decks; here it feels more like a sigh of relief, “things didn’t go great but we got through and can rest and rebuild.” The four wands are topped with skulls, but behind them are living figures and an intact building. The disaster has come but it’s also gone.<\/p>\n
My family all got through the storm okay, and my house and my brother’s house weren’t damaged. We actually don’t know about our parents’ house (1 block from the ocean, 8 miles south of hard-hit Atlantic City) although our parents and their cats rode out the storm inland. If the house was damaged or even lost, at least they’re okay! And from photos of the city, it looks like their street is largely still standing – flooded but still standing. We’re concerned but our worst fears don’t seem to be realized.<\/p>\n
Time to settle down for a while, wait for the island to reopen, then find out the real story. In the meantime, at least the wind and rain are gone and we can celebrate our family’s safety and unity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
