Suit 2: power
13 ~ Courage Path
Choosing what calls you, even if it scares you.
Courage is not always the roar of the lion, sometimes it is the quiet, steady step you take when no one is watching.
The path of courage is rarely straight; it winds, shimmers, and asks you to keep trusting the light that calls you forward. This card arrives when you are ready to walk a new road, even if your knees tremble. You do not need to know the entire way, only the step that is here right now. The lion breathes life-force into you, courage as a living stream, and you choose to place your feet on it. Every time you move, even a little, the path grows stronger beneath you.
Courage doesn’t erase fear; it befriends it, softens it, and leads you through. This is your invitation: walk the glowing path that has been waiting for you all along.
Note for today
Embracing the Courage Path's wisdom
Where has courage already carried you?
Today is a good day to notice where your courage has already carried you. Look back with gentleness at the steps you’ve taken, the ways you’ve stayed present when it would have been easier to turn away. Let that remembrance nourish you as you take another step. Even the smallest act of courage changes the whole landscape.
Ancient wisdom
The Roots
Courage lives in your bones. It is the ancestral gift that steadied those before you when the way was hard, when the waters were deep, when the winds howled. You carry their steadiness within you. Their whispers remind you that you are never walking alone — each step you take is a continuation of theirs. Roots are not heavy; they are the deep ground that allows you to rise.
Present wisdom
The Spark
Courage often first appears as a lion, fierce, intimidating, larger than you feel you can face. Yet what seems frightening is also the doorway. Each time you stand before it, fear begins to turn into power. Choosing truth over comfort, love over fear, presence over hiding, these are the sparks that tame the roar. Every brave step is a match struck in the dark, lighting a path you didn’t know was waiting.
Future wisdom
The Horizon
Ahead, the lion no longer blocks your way, it breathes with you. Its breath becomes the golden stream that fuels your steps, a life-force reminding you that you are not walking alone. The horizon widens as you walk, not into perfection but into freedom. What once felt terrifying now becomes your ally, guiding you into landscapes more spacious and alive than fear ever let you imagine.
