🕯️

“Just because they couldn’t see you
doesn’t mean you’re invisible.”

🔹 Archetype: The Silenced Presence

The part of you that learned to stay small — because being big didn’t feel safe.

🔹 Symbol:

A cracked mirror with no reflection.

🔹 Color Palette:

Pale grey, faded silver, soft dust and ash tones.

🖤 Card’s Role – The Echo of Invisibility

This card appears when you feel like you’re not enough — not loud enough, smart enough, beautiful enough, worthy enough.

It shows up when:

  • You’ve done everything “right”… and still feel unseen.
  • You constantly prove your worth — and still don’t believe it.
  • Praise bounces off you, but criticism cuts deep.

This isn’t just insecurity.
It’s a soul bruise left by years of being ignored, rejected, or compared.

You didn’t create this wound.
But you’ve been living through it.

🗝️ Message of the Card:

You were not born doubting your worth.
It was taught. Projected. Repeated.

But just because they couldn’t see your light
doesn’t mean it’s not there.

This card asks you to stop asking the world to validate what was never theirs to approve.

🪞 Deeper Insight – The Worthlessness Wound

This shadow lives in perfectionism.
In over-giving.
In staying silent when you want to scream.
In apologizing for existing.

The Worthlessness wound tells you:

“If I was really worthy, they would’ve stayed.”
“If I mattered, they would’ve noticed.”
“If I was enough, I wouldn’t feel like too much.”

This card brings one truth:
You were never too much.
You were never not enough.
You were simply too real for those living in masks.

🕯️ Reclaiming Ritual:

  1. Write down all the things you think you have to “earn” to be loved.
  2. Burn the list (safely).
  3. Whisper:
    “I do not exist to prove my worth. I exist because I am.”
  4. Take a photo of yourself — raw, unfiltered. Print it. Place it somewhere private.
  5. Look at it daily and say:
    “This is worthy. She is mine.”

🌫️ Card’s Mantra:

You were always worthy.
They just didn’t have the eyes to see you.
