This is the Two of Vessels,
from the suit of Compassion
and the mystery of Mary as Virgin
Archangel Gabriel, divine messenger,
gives her the news that she is the chosen one,
the Godbearer. This is a pivotal moment in
Mary's life and her response changes the course
of the world.

I am Thy Handmaiden
Archangel Gabriel is standing on
two vessels. The vessels are mainly used for
water or wine and here they are symbolic of
the living waters of consciousness .
And indeed Mary is to become the vessel
of the Holy Son.

We are reminded of our own individual roles
as vessels of consciousness and our own
birthing of the new, be it art
or hope or inspiration or consciousness.

And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord;
be it unto me according to thy word.
The fiat of Mary is Mary's consent to the divine plan.
Her acceptance and consent
has created a new world of grace and
it is within the potential of each one of us
to birth such love and grace.

Down the side of the card are tiny forget-me-not flowers,
one of Mary's sacred flowers and the white lilies
in the background.
The flower garland on Mary's head shows
that she is a virgin.
It is also predictive of her future
state as Theotokos and
Queen of Heaven and Earth.
