ᛉ Temperance

Temperance gives the measure a name. On this site the card is balance through blending: not abstaining entirely and not indulging completely, but finding the measure that serves you. The entry tells it through the mead of poetry, hoarded by the giant Suttungr, who wanted possession and not moderation. Its reversed reading is an extreme in either direction, excess or deprivation, that did not take hold overnight.
