Doe Demure’s Dance Dilemma…

Doe Demure is a professional dancer, dance teacher and choreographer based in the East Midlands. If you live in Leicester and you’ve not met Doe yet on your travels, where on earth have you been? This is one busy lady… Not only does Doe perform at a variety of events including weddings, private parties, clubs, restaurants, festivals and outdoor events, she is also the brains behind Art Shark which is due to celebrate its 1st Birthday on 17th July down at The Donkey.

I invited Doe over to The Pure and Blessed Way and asked her if she had a question for my cards…

“Hmm, ok, well I have this on going struggle with whether I am doing myself an injustice as a dancer doing burlesque with its provocative nature and all, maybe that’s something to ask about?”

So… Let’s have a look…

We’re dancing in the dark here… the muse came to visit very late at night!

So let’s take them out into the garden the next day to shed more light…

So… I was quite surprised by the first card I pulled from my own cards, the BraRacle… A blushing bride? That’s not the first thing that springs to mind when I think of Doe… but hold on a minute… maybe there is a little hint in her name… Demure?? That’s given me food for thought… Or does the virginal quality reflect attributes of Doe’s Virgo birth sign?

It feels to me that maybe Doe is quite traditional at heart, I chose this card to represent her core values and long held beliefs, so I feel it reflects attitudes that were around as she was growing up and views on what is considered to be appropriate behaviour and this is what a ‘good girl’ should do…

And thoughts on appropriate behaviour had me turn to the master of inappropriate tarot and over to Janden Daniel Hale’s Darkana to see what badass qualities Doe possesses to handle her present situation. So, here we found the King of Cups… Interesting… A more male minded approach to handling your emotions? A cool detached perspective… I looked at these cards and it felt to me that there is a lot of pent up frustration and at times it feels almost as though her head will explode… frustration at the environment that she performs in… dealing with people whose inhibitions have been loosened by alcohol… people not respecting boundaries… BUT!!! Nothing Doe can’t deal with… I look at how the King places his hand on the drinker’s head… Stay calm Doe! Keep a few people at arm’s length…

I pulled a further card… I’ll get to it… but first I want to bounce around those rocks… I feel there are a few things there to think about… Firstly it strikes me that Doe may have some very large ideas in mind, which at present feel out of reach and I’m going out on a limb here and I’m changing the question, to the one that I hear… which is  – I have a huge dream! How can I get there and will people treat me seriously?

Firstly… Doe… I’m seeing that black stone there which you can’t see properly due to the light… but it fell into what felt to be the centre of the spread and when that shows up, normally changes are in the process of being made and you have made the bulk of the decisions but it is s…l…o..w…. so  s…l….o…..w……. that it feels like one step forwards and two steps back… But it is necessary to be slow here, you are putting in place good firm foundations and that takes time… it also often means removing a few things that are holding you back whether that may be beliefs, attitudes or sometimes people…

I see a caring nature here, but often someone who is easily swallowed up into taking care of others to a greater extent than caring for her own needs… There is a need to prioritise some me time! I see this green and pink unakite come up a lot with women and they are often tiring themselves out looking after someone who really should be doing  more to help themselves. And that yellow stone there… indicates to be more assertive. But I’m not worried about you… that red tiger’s eye that sits with the bride tells me you are more than well equipped to handle yourself 😀

Now I move to Jordan Hoggard’s 9 of Swords from Mystereum – how can you use your imagination to get to where you want to be? All the thoughts and ideas are there, they just need arranging into harmonious dance partners… what’s the beat and rhythm required? You don’t need to chose either or here… or compromise…you need to choreograph! You need decisive action! You need to say – SCREW YOU! I’ll do it MY WAY!! and I see that tree agate sat nearby and I think once you stop caring what people will say and just do what you do… then you’ll fast track to that big dream…

And remember… There’s no such thing as bad publicity… Only publicity…

I’ll let Doe dance you out…

GO GIRL!!!
