The Looking Glass
“[It’s] just the same . . . only the things go the other way.”
Reflection, Insight, New Perspective
The Looking Glass has appeared in your reading to offer you a reflection of yourself. It’s not 100% accurate as you currently take in the information, and therein lies the mystery for you to unfold. Things can shift as they switch from left to right, especially if it’s the sides of the brain or coin we are dealing with.
Things may be feeling all backwards and out of sorts, yet something about your circumstances holds an image of truth. Now is the time to take a moment to sit with what is being mirrored for you, and to put things in their proper place so you can make sense of the lot of this swirl of information.

Red Knight
“You’ll observe the Rules of Battle, of course?”
Unattached to outcomes, Serving higher good, Balance
Your lot would seem to be engaging in a formal battle of sorts, not for the purpose of defeating the other side, and not for the purpose of winning some great trophy, but to work as a team to allow something better to arise. The overall advice during such engagements is “Don’t take it personally.” In fact, this might be a good mantra to practice because keeping this in mind may be difficult otherwise. It may be difficult to even know what the highest good is, especially if our own personal agenda is in the way.

The Un-Birthday Party
“There are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un birthday presents, and only one for birthday presents, you know.”
“Well! I’ve often seen a cat without a grin,” thought Alice; “but a grin without a cat! It’s the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!”
Presents, Presence, Variety, Freedom, Creation, Ascension, Alchemy, Gratitude, Intention
If you have landed on the Un-Birthday Party, then you are being invited to color outside the lines, break out of the box and stop waiting for that one special moment or that one special day. Stop sticking to rules that are keeping your nose to the grindstone instead of smelling the roses (The sweet smelling ones, not the painted ones, that is!).

Tall Poppy
“The tall poppy is the one that gets cut!”
Competition, Jealousy, Attack, Accomplishment, Achievement, Excellence, Being the “Bigger” Person
The Tall Poppy has taken root in your reading to encourage you to see the mindless and unhealthy truth behind the harsh words or actions coming your way (and to possibly ask you to consider if you are one of the crowd bringing some outstanding person down).
It is the innovators, the bold and courageous achievers who reach new heights that remind us that there is much more possible as individuals and as the collective of humans on planet Earth.
Be wary of feelings of jealousy and allow them to signal that you are in the presence of something or someone magnificent and worthy of praise.

The Puppy
“And yet what a dear little puppy it was!”
Unintentional Threat, Self-Preservation, Resourcefulness, Insight, Playfulness, Caution
The Puppy has playfully pounced his way towards you to let you know that you have what it takes to safely move through what is before you, however, until you have had the opportunity to grow and develop a bit more, it is wise to keep up your guard. You are not yet a master who can work through this challenge effortlessly. There is some growth that needs to take place first, and it may be growth that you’ve gone through before, but taken some steps backwards due to the whirlwind nature of your trip through Wonderland. But don’t be disheartened; this next pass through will be a bit easier now that you’ve got some experience under your belt. Despite the need for mindfulness, there is the opportunity to get through these growing pains with a little bit of fun. To make sure you complete your journey through the woods in one piece, focus on balancing caution and playfulness. Just because it’s challenging doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy yourself.

Painting White Roses Red
“Would you tell me, please, . . . why you are painting those roses red?”
Façade, Appearances, Deceit, Defensiveness, Fear
It is possible that others in your query are intimidated by the thought of being honest with you, and it would behoove you to open up a dialogue that engenders authentic self-expression, otherwise you’ll continue to get wet, drippy flowers instead of the lush, fragrant ones that bring so much joy.
Or maybe you are the one who is busy keeping up appearances, caught in a silly game of holding the surface together, not realizing the great loss to the quality of that which you are disguising. Give fear the shake and let your unhindered heart and mind help you make a good decision.

The Mock Turtle
“It’s all his fancy, that; he hasn’t got no sorrow, you know.”
Sorrow, Choice, Authenticity, Artificiality, Limiting Beliefs, Childhood Wounds, Stagnancy, Reclaiming the Self
The Mock Turtle has slowly sobbed his way over to you to raise a question of authenticity. As we listen to the poor leatherback’s lament (which takes a good deal of patience, might I add), we learn that he once was a real turtle. We never do discover what happened to turn our dear slowpoke into an imitation of his old self, but the truth that lies before us now is that he is, indeed, no longer the real deal. That’s enough to make anyone feel a little low. Of course, the sorrow is a farce as well, as The Gryphon informs us: “It’s all his fancy, that; he hasn’t got no sorrow, you know.”

King of Hearts
“You are all pardoned.”
Forgiveness, Pardon, Balance, Mercy, Mediator, Objectivity, Apology
The King of Hearts stands as a necessary balance to the madness as he follows behind the murderous queen granting pardons to the petrified playing cards and other royal subjects. He is quiet, steady and un-intimidated by his blood-thirsty wife. His mercy and ability to stand outside the rage of his betrothed on one side and the fear of their serfs on the other allows him to play an important role of compassionate mediator. Because of him, the queen can continue her tirades, and her minions can keep their heads on straight and everything in the little kingdom maintains a balance. The King of Hearts is here to invite you to step through the doorway of forgiveness (for yourself or someone else, or both). You will find it, if you do, quite liberating.

The Croquet Game
“Alice soon came to the conclusion that it was a very difficult game indeed.”
Focus, Centeredness, Accountability, Unusual Circumstances
It is your turn in the Croquet Game, and your goal, should you choose to accept the invitation or not, is to keep your head. There is a lot of silliness, and a lot going on to distract and throw you off course, but the only truly important achievement is to keep your wits about you. It may be difficult, but it is essential if you are to make it through the madhouse of your query.

The Dormouse
“Wake up, Dormouse!”
Unconsciousness, Wake-Up Call, Avoidance
The Dormouse has cozied up to take a nap in the middle of your tea party to help remind you to wake up in some way. Dreams are an essential part of manifesting our reality, but if we do not birth it into the real world through our awakened states and conscious actions, then they can float out into the nether-ether realms and be lost for a very long time.

“Eat Me” Cake
“Well, I’ll eat it,” said Alice,”and . . . either way
I’ll get into the garden . . .”
Short-Sightedness, Lack of Planning, Mindfulness with Resources, Having your Cake & Eating it Too
The cake has magically appeared in your life to offer you a second chance at getting to where you want to go, and it is also a reminder to take a moment to really think about what you are going to need on your journey, and how you’re going to get there, so that you actually make it to where you want to go. It’s not so hard as long as you put your mind to it. But don’t get too stuck on the cake; sugar is very addictive. I’m also recalling Marie Antoinette and what happened to her when she relied too much on cake to solve her problems. She really lost her head.

Garden of Talking Flowers
“We can talk, when there is anybody worth talking to.”
Facade, Shallowness, Need for Rest, Stuck in a Rut, Compassion
The talking flowers have surfaced for a few possible reasons. One is the old fashioned cliché about beauty and it being only skin deep. In this case, it is only petal deep. It may be that there is only a surface level appeal or connection going on in the circumstances of your inquiry. Another perspective is that these flowers suffer from being stuck in a rut, unable to move, and this makes for a bit of eccentric and elitist thinking. If one doesn’t get out much and see the world, it’s difficult to open one’s heart and mind to new experiences.

Humpty Dumpty
“Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall:
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.”
Fragile Ego, Immaturity, Core Wounding, “Walking on Eggshells,” Win-Lose Mentality
Humpty Dumpty has wobbled into the picture as a symbol of growth and the fragility of the ego as it develops from embryo into full-blown being. Our egg-shaped friend has a lot of clever things to say to Alice and likes to trick her with riddles and making up meanings for words, but he is obviously very green around the edges when it comes to engaging in a pleasant sort of way. He seems to view his whole interaction with Alice as some sort of game, his goal for which is to win. At this very surface level (which is about as thin as the egg-shell that holds the fragile contents of our nursery rhyme character together), the ego pontificates and confuses to avoid a depth that would quickly crack the protective container and reveal a very soft and undeveloped interior.

Cheshire Cat
“The Cat only grinned . . .”
“Well! I’ve often seen a cat without a grin,” thought Alice; “but a grin without a cat! It’s the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!”
Guidance, Direction, Shaman, Objectivity, Perspective
The Cheshire Cat has pounced into your life to remind you that being able to step outside your own land of wonder may just be the cause of great contentment. The Cheshire Cat is one of the only creatures in Wonderland who smiles, and almost constantly at that. In fact, even while his visible existence fades from Alice’s world, his smile remains as a reminder, (and an incentive), that you are not defined and contained by your current, external circumstances. Being able to step outside of them on a regular basis will help you to gain deeper clarity and a better perspective in regards to your current life events, as if perched up high in a tree. In fact, going to a very high place that allows for a slightly removed perspective is a good idea, or, taking a break from a very intense situation, either challenging or joyous, might be a good idea at this time.

The Caterpillar
“Who are you?”
Identity, Contemplation, Self-Awareness, Acknowledgment, Change, Over-identification with Ego
The Caterpillar is not here to hold your hand as you explore your interiors to find the answer. He demands a bit of snapping out of the dream state and getting down to business. Of course, business in the land of wonder is a bit different than in most places. It mostly requires one to pay a good deal of attention to what’s going on in the moment, and to inquire as to how the present circumstances might offer some insight, guidance, aid, comfort, or resource of any other kind in your bigger picture life circumstances. Wonderland is a bit holographic, and one will often find that the answers to some small concerns can also serve to shed some light on the grander landscape of the journey called life.

The Caucus Race
“But who has won?”
Making the Best of things, Win-Win, Fun for the Sake of Fun, Reward
You have drawn The Caucus Race with the challenge to look more closely at your circumstances. Regardless of the rules or lack thereof, and whatever game you are participating in, the process is leading you to the desirable outcome. Whether you are declared a winner has nothing to do with the value to be gained. Once you have completed this task, you will have accomplished all that is necessary to be successful and quite satisfactorily satiated. Don’t lose the real prize you have gained from your experience by looking to be rewarded externally (though there may be some frivolous benefits to be gained). Don’t let the chaos and madness distract you either. There is great wisdom to be gained by what you are partaking in, and the results, though possibly unclear, are just what’s needed at this time.

“Curioser, and Curioser!”
“Life, what is it but a dream?”
Manifestation, Adventure(r), Dreamer
Alice has fallen into your rabbit hole to remind you that, despite the appearance of disorientation, confusion, and chaos, you are the main character in this theatrical production titled “Your Life.” It may require many costume changes, size changes, and lots of supporting actors and actresses, but you are the dreamer, bringing your dreams into reality, and curiosity is your greatest ally.

Avoiding the Elephants
“I think I’ll go down and – no,
I won’t go down just yet.”
Avoidance, Preparation, Discernment, Fear vs. Intuition, Naming the Elephant in the Room
The elephants have probed their way into your reading to ask you if you are truly heeding wise caution in avoiding a particular circumstance or conversation, or whether you are letting fear dictate your moves, leading you away from opportunities for growth and deeper appreciation of your internal land of wonder.

Take a moment to pause, be still, & think of something in your life that you would like greater wisdom, insights, or
guidance for.
Once you feel a connection with your query, take a deep breath, shuffle the deck, & pick your card.
