The World represents completeness, wholeness, reaching a point where you have achieved all that you desired, reaching the pinnacle of success, and having fully integrated all aspects of your personality and life.

On the Enchanted World card a copper statue of a woman is dancing across the landscape.  Her left arm is thrown over hear head (almost as though she is feeling her forehead) and her right arm is stretched out behind her.  She is looking back at her outstretched arm.  The earth hangs in the sky behind her - full of hope and wonder.  It is framed by a crown of feathers.  Off in the distance we see a Grecian style temple, perhaps representing some of the wonders man has creating on earth or symbolizing the connection between body and spirit.  Flower petals hover in the air above the temples, drifting over it likes gifts from the gods.

The Perfecter shows the transfigured soul meditating upon the experiences of the triple spiral.  We see a red figure silting in the lotus position with a square dissected by a cross.  It is surrounded by the symbols of the four treasures of Ireland - sword, spear, cauldron and stone.  A triskele floats above his head and rays of energy beam out from behind him. 

In both instances I get a sense of connection between various aspects of life (spiritual and material, the four elements).  Reversed this card may be trying to remind me that I'm losing sight of the overall picture, not being able to blend the various aspects of my life, because I'm getting bogged down in the minutiae.  Or maybe my challenge is that I want it all put together, everything in place before I actually start.  I tend to like to have all my ducks in a row (as they say), before I take a risk.  Of course if I do things that way then it's not really a risk is it?  Maybe I need to be more focused and targeted in the direction I take.  I have a tendency to sort of bounce around from interest to interest.  In order to make my dreams come true, I need to get some focus.  It's actually been a recurring theme over the past few weeks - if I want to achieve my goals I need to take concrete steps to do it and stop talking about it.  Not that there is anything wrong with talking about it as long as that's not all that I do.

I guess it's due to still trying to hedge my bets; covering all the bases.  That's just not realistic.  If I'm going to make this work then I have to take a deep breath and just plunge in.  That doesn't mean I shouldn't take steps plan for success.  Of course I know all of this and still I haven't gotten much done.  On the positive side at least the cards I've been pulling lately seem to suggest I've got what it takes to make this work, I just have to put the gifts/skills into action.
