The Lotus was the first thing that emerged from the waters of chaos in Egyptian myth. And chaos was, in the minds of the ancient Egyptians at least, the very epitome of evil. Set, the evil God of Chaos was excommunicated by Horus to rule the desert – and nothing could be a bigger punishment! So with Lotus comes a sense of calm and organisation.
If you’ve picked this card for your Root Chakra, it’s likely that you possess some of that same energy.
Lotus brings with it the energies of continuity, meditation, and placidity. It reminds us that events have very little effect on our experience in this life. However, our reactions to those events, which in turn create emotions, have a massive effect on how we feel. We are in control of how we respond. Always.
