Taking Back Your Power from the Mystical Journey Oracle by Tennessee Charpentier.
The Water lily is an ancient symbol that signifies hope, rebirth and purification. It represents your earthbound human self reaching for the light. On this card the lily roots are buried deep in the mud, which symbolises your earth life. The beautiful flowers emerge from the water and reach towards the sky, embodying your yearning to connect with your higher self. In this image the woman's soul is being tethered by pillars because she is not expressing her needs.
Part of keeping small can be a hesitancy to speak your truth; instead, you stay silent in an effort to keep the peace and minimise conflict. Speaking up means being true to yourself and taking back your power. Maybe you are scared of making a mistake, of making some changes or of finding yourself alone. The taking back your power card appears when you need to say something you've been wishing to verbalise for a long time. Remember who you truly are, for your soul knows that that if you speak your truth you will not only survive but will thrive. Express how you feel even if you are scared, or you run the risk of losing your spirit.
This card may also indicate a situation in which you have stayed silent for too long, walking on eggshells for fear of upsetting another person. It is time to take back your power and say something!
Use the symbol of the water lily as encouragement to speak your truth and acknowledge how you really feel. When you speak up you honour your soul; if you don't speak up you stay underwater and cannot shine your true light.
