Genesis 1:9-13: Day Three – Blossoming of Divine Communication
đ The Throat Chakra (Vishuddha)
đ Introduction
In the beginning, the journey of the soul begins with a sparkâa divine invitation to awaken and create. Genesis 1:9â13 speaks of the gathering of waters and the emergence of dry groundâa moment of balance and preparation for life to blossom. This is not just a historical accountâit is a living parable of your own spiritual awakening, the story of Adamâs journey within. It mirrors the inner landscape of your beingâwhere the fertile ground of your voice emerges to create life and beauty through authentic expression.
Every word, every breath in this scripture mirrors our sacred journey: the emergence of clear communication, the creation of space for the truth to be spoken, and the blossoming of divine expression within. May this reflection guide you back to the Source of your being, as you awaken the light within and walk the eternal path of Adamâs transformation.
đ Scripture Passage
Genesis 1:9â13 (NIV)
9 And God said, âLet the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.â And it was so.
10 God called the dry ground âland,â and the gathered waters he called âseas.â And God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, âLet the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.â And it was so.
12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
13 And there was evening, and there was morningâthe third day.
đď¸ Allegory & Metaphysical Interpretation
This passage reveals the emergence of fertile ground within youâan invitation to gather your scattered thoughts and emotions, creating space for your authentic voice to blossom. Just as the waters gathered to reveal dry ground, your mind and heart must gather in stillness so that the truth of your soul can emerge.
The dry ground symbolizes the firm foundation of your voice: a space of clarity and calm where words arise not from fear but from the divine essence within. This is the fertile soil of the Empress within youânurturing, creative, and in harmony with the rhythms of life.
The vegetation that springs forthâseed-bearing plants and treesâreflects the fruits of your spoken word. Every word you speak is a seed planted in the world, carrying the power to nurture, heal, and create. The Empress archetype calls you to honor your voice as a vessel of divine creativity, speaking with the gentleness and strength that brings new life.
This passage is not separate from youâit is a mirror of your soulâs process. You are the fertile soil, the divine voice, and the nurturing spirit that brings it to life. In gathering your energies and attuning to the Source, you reclaim your role as co-creator with the Divineâletting your voice be a blessing to the world.
đ Kabbalah Insights
Kabbalah Insights help reveal the hidden spiritual architecture beneath scripture, connecting our inner journey with the Tree of Life and the divine sephiroth.
This passage aligns with the sefirah of Tiferet (Beauty), which harmonizes the forces of creation. The Empressâs energy weaves the beauty of divine truth with the power of nurturing expression.
- Descent of light: The gathering of waters and emergence of land reflect the opening of the throat chakra, allowing divine light to find a voice.
- Chokhmah and Binah: The seed-bearing plants echo the balance of masculine spark and feminine nurturingâcoming together in the Empressâs grace.
đ Tarot Guidance
đ Why Use Tarot to Help Explain the Bible?
Tarot and the Bible both speak the language of the soulâa symbolic language that transcends time, culture, and religious tradition. When we read the Bible as a mystical or allegorical text, Tarot becomes a powerful companion tool that can help us:
1. Access the Archetypes Hidden in Scripture
The Tarot is built on universal archetypes: The Fool, The Magician, The Lovers, The Tower, etc. These archetypes are spiritual energies and inner states we all encounter on the path of awakening.
The Bible is full of these same patterns:
- Adam is The Foolâinnocent, beginning a journey.
- Moses is The Hierophantâteacher and spiritual leader.
- Jesus is both The Hanged Man (sacrifice) and The Sun (illumination).
By using Tarot, we unlock a symbolic key that helps us interpret the characters and events in scripture as reflections of our own inner transformation.
2. Bridge the Subconscious and the Sacred
While the Bible speaks to our higher mind and spiritual understanding, Tarot speaks to the subconscious, the intuitive, and the emotional body. Combining them creates a full-spectrum map of healingâone that engages the conscious, unconscious, and divine self.
Tarot doesnât “predict” the Bibleâit mirrors it, offering:
- Emotional resonance
- Inner meaning
- Spiritual lesson
This helps us embody the teachings rather than just intellectualize them.
3. Support Non-Literal, Mystical Interpretation
If we read the Bible not as historical fact but as a soul journey, Tarot supports that framework. It helps us see:
- The Garden of Eden as a state of inner harmony.
- The serpent as a catalyst for awakening.
- Cain and Abel as personas within the psyche.
Tarot cards echo these same patternsâinviting us to reflect and evolve, not just obey.
4. Guide Personal Revelation
Each Tarot card acts as a spiritual mirror. When placed alongside a biblical passage, it can help a person:
- See what part of the story theyâre currently living.
- Recognize emotional blockages or spiritual opportunities.
- Receive direct inner guidance from their higher self.
For example:
- Reading Genesis 4:9 (Cain & Abel) with the Five of Swords and Judgement card helps us feel the moral weight and spiritual call beyond the literal murder.
5. Restore Feminine and Intuitive Wisdom
The Bible, as traditionally interpreted, often silences the feminine, intuitive, and nonlinear aspects of truth. Tarot reintroduces that dimension:
- The High Priestess restores inner knowing and divine mystery.
- The Empress revives the sacred feminine as a nurturing creator.
- The Moon invites emotional depth and healing.
This balances the rational, patriarchal frameworks and helps integrate heart with mind, intuition with logic.
Final Thought:
Using Tarot with the Bible is not about divination. Itâs about illumination.
Itâs about awakening the layers of divine meaning encoded in scripture so that it becomes a living revelationâone that meets you exactly where you are on your spiritual path.
Tarot guidance offers archetypal mirrors that help us access subconscious patterns and spiritual lessons. The Empress, in particular, embodies nurturing expression that resonates with the throat chakraâs unfolding.
The Empress â She is the embodiment of nurturing abundance and the voice of creation. The Empress encourages you to speak your truth with loving authority, knowing that your words are seeds of life and beauty. Let your voice be a sanctuary for your soulâs fertile garden.

đ EFT Tapping Sequence
đż EFT Tapping as a Healing Technology
EFT tapping is a simple yet powerful technique that blends modern psychology with the ancient wisdom of the bodyâs meridian system. By tapping on specific acupressure pointsâusually on the face, upper body, and handsâwhile focusing on an emotional or physical issue, we send calming signals to the brain and the nervous system.
This process:
â
Releases Stagnant Energy â Emotions and thoughts are forms of energy. When we hold onto painful or limiting beliefs, that energy can become stuck in our bodies. Tapping helps to dislodge and release these blocks, allowing the bodyâs natural flow to be restored.
â
Regulates the Nervous System â Tapping activates the parasympathetic (rest and digest) system, reducing the stress response and promoting a sense of safety and calm.
â
Rewires the Brain â By pairing the physical tapping with spoken affirmations, EFT can help reprogram limiting beliefs and soothe the bodyâs fight-or-flight responses, creating new neural pathways aligned with healing and wholeness.
Tapping is a bridge that connects mind, body, and spiritâmaking it an ideal practice to integrate scriptural insights, chakra healing, and soul-level transformations.
đ How to Use This Tapping Sequence
Before you begin, take a few deep breaths and tune in to your feelings. EFT uses gentle tapping to release emotional blockages and realign your energy. Tap gently on the points below, repeating the affirmations. Use both hands or your dominant hand, repeating each round 2â3 times or until you feel a shift.
1ď¸âŁ Throat Center: âI honor my voice as a divine channel of truth.â
2ď¸âŁ Heart Center: âMy words are rooted in love and compassion.â
3ď¸âŁ Third Eye: âI trust the divine guidance flowing through my voice.â
đ Integration Breath: Breathe deeply, feeling your throat open to the divine song of your soul.
đ Simple Anointing & Meditation Ritual
What Anointing Is and Why Itâs Beneficial
Anointing with essential oils is a sacred practice that bridges the physical and spiritual realms. It roots your voice in divine light, inviting the nurturing energy of the Empress to bless every word.
Anointing
1ď¸âŁ Place a drop of Lavender on your fingertips.
2ď¸âŁ Gently anoint your throat, whispering:
âI anoint my voice with the grace of the Empressânurturing, truthful, and in harmony with the divine.â
3ď¸âŁ Optionally anoint your heart to align your voice with love.
Crystal Companion
Hold or place Blue Lace Agate or Aquamarine at your throat to encourage gentle expression and spiritual harmony.
Meditation for Divine Expression
- Sit comfortably, spine straight.
- Close your eyes and breathe deeply.
- Visualize a gentle blue light at your throat, like a calm ocean shimmering with divine light.
- Feel this blue light dissolving old fears and filling you with the nurturing power of the Empress.
- Affirm softly: âI am the voice of divine creation. My words are seeds of love and life.â
- Sit in this radiant blue light for a few moments or longer.
đď¸ Journaling for Reflection
After meditation, journal your feelings and insights. Let each word honor your journeyâjust as the Empress nurtures every seed, honor your voice as a garden of divine truths.
⨠Closing Blessing
May the voice of the Empress rise within youânurturing, truthful, and in harmony with divine love. May your words be seeds of light, blessing all who hear them. So may it be.

This blog beautifully blends scripture, metaphysics, and symbolism to explore spiritual awakening through the voice. I especially loved how the Empress archetype and throat chakra were used to illustrate the power of expression. It felt both mystical and grounded. The integration of Tarot, energy healing, and ritual created a full-circle experience that resonated deeply. I’m curious, how do you recommend someone new to Tarot begin using it alongside scripture without feeling overwhelmed?
Thank you so much, Kavitha, for your beautiful and thoughtful comment. Iâm so glad the post resonated with youâespecially the weaving together of the Empress archetype and throat chakra as a lens for divine expression. That full-circle experience you mentioned is exactly the intention behind these offerings: to bridge the mystical with the grounded, helping us embody the sacred in daily life.
As for your wonderful question about starting with Tarot alongside scriptureâwhat a sacred journey that can be! I recommend beginning with just one or two archetypes that speak to your spirit. For example, The Empress, The High Priestess, or The Hermit are gentle yet powerful initiators. Instead of trying to learn the whole deck at once, let one card become your companion for a week. Pair it with a scripture that mirrors its energy (like Genesis 1:11â12 with The Empress, symbolizing fertility, growth, and divine creativity).
Let the card become a mirror. Sit with it, journal its messages, and invite it into prayer or meditation. Over time, your understanding will deepen not just intellectually, but intuitivelyâguided by Spirit rather than pressure.
I may create a gentle guide or ritual series on this very topic soon, because I know how nourishing this practice can be. Thank you again for your presence and reflectionâitâs deeply appreciated!
With love and light,
Alchemist IrisÂ
