The Garden. Art by Katelan V. Foisy, from The Hoodoo Tarot.

The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. — Isaiah 58:11

The Image A woman is happily watering her garden. 

Prior to the Industrial Revolution, most Americans were farmers by trade. It was hard work, but people took great pride in knowing that the produce that fed and cured their families was grown by their own hands. For people with more resources, gardening eventually became a relaxing leisure activity that allowed them to connect with nature or express themselves creatively. Either way, whether for utilitarian or recreational purposes, the rule for a successful harvest doesn’t change, which is this: mind your crops!

Meaning When The Garden appears in a reading, it’s letting you know that you’ve successfully taken care of business, and it’s time to reap all the goodness that you’ve sown. Count your blessings. 

If your query relates to gossip or rumors, The Garden could be trying to tell you to mind your own business. It’s reminding you of how much better the world would be if everyone focused on their own affairs instead of being concerned about what others are doing and how they’re doing it. 

If you receive The Garden in a reading, consider the following: 

• In what ways do you heal the world?  • Seriously consider the benefits of working there, or joining that club, etc.  • The solution has arrived. There is nothing more to seek.  • What makes you feel safe, grounded, and whole?  • Don’t wait for anyone else to have a pleasurable experience.  • Stop and smell the roses.  • Learn the art of being content.  • You’ve made it. Now enjoy it.

“In 2009, a group of seven transgender women were charged and convicted under the law and ordered to pay G$7,500. They fought the conviction all the way to the CCJ, the court of final appeal in Guyana. In November 2018, the CCJ struck down the law after finding that it was unconstitutionally vague and “violated the appellants’ right to protection of the law and was contrary to the rule of law.”

In an explanatory note to the bill, the government states that it “signals the government’s commitment to fulfilling the human rights of all Guyanese. The Government rightly acknowledges and agrees with the CCJ that this archaic law, which is inconsistent with the Constitution of Guyana, has no social of legal purpose in a progressive society.”

Guyana inherited its prohibitions on same-sex intimacy from the British colonial era, as did many other countries in the Caribbean region. However, some nearby countries have decriminalized same-sex intimacy in recent years, including Belize (2016) and Trinidad and Tobago (2018). Barbados also announced plans to expand LGBT rights and recognize civil unions in 2020, although it has not formally committed to decriminalizing gay sex.”
