8 - Strength
The Fool journeys to Strength, and after the stress of The Chariot, our Fool realises a need for calmness in the face of fears. The inner beast that lies within us needs to be soothed, not rejected or battled with, and so he finds that being gentle with himself is a must. He sees the dangers in his life and how his reaction to them stems from within. He develops a quiet inner confidence to deal with his problems. Now is a time for mind over matter, a time to control instincts and urges so that energy is channelled towards a positive end. The Fool finds strength of mind and conquers any fears he may have.
Within Strength, we find that having control over our personalities and egos is worthwhile and is best done with a gentle and loving hand. When confronted with our problems, now is the time for calm, pure motives, and having zero fear of the problems and issues we are dealing with—a time to allow our self-confidence to shine through, not in a bolshy but in a serene manner.
Our inner beast can rear its head, and we may find it difficult to remain calm in the face of problems. Yet the need to soothe, accept, and control with a passive hand is very needed right now. If we allow our inner beast to roar, it can kill, destroy, and create havoc with those things in our lives that need love, care, and understanding, be that a real-life situation or something you’re dealing with from within.
To be strong, and to make sure that we are not controlled by what lies within us can require courage. Grace is needed; we benefit from focusing on the present and not allowing the fears within to act.
Now is a time for self-compassion; do not display what your inner, angry, scared, or frustrated self may wish to act on.
You can cope; you are far stronger than you think you are.

I find Pam to be a particularly powerful and very special reader. She frames her readings with where your energy sits at the present moment before going into the details given by the guides and cards in the context of your question. Then she spectacularly wraps this all into crystal clear guidance.
She has many more gifts than those noted in her biography, not least the gift of placing ‘the whole of you’ front and centre of the reading with such loving kindness and compassion.
This is the second time in a year I’ve been to Pam. She was right the first time. She’ll be right this time. And, as before, I’ve come away feeling so much lighter somehow. Thank you, Pam, you are extraordinary. And you are a delight to deal with.

What a book this is!
I’ve learned more from Pam’s book in a few days then I have in 6 months with multiple and a crazy amount of Google searches. Each card is broken down so beautifully and in a way that can be applied practically to the day to day. It truly is the book every beginner should start with.
Thanks again Pam x

I came back to Pam for insight into a long standing difficult family situation. I was hopeful things might finally improve but it's not in the cards yet and deep down I think I knew it. I appreciate Pam's honesty and detailed responses. She clarifies why situations exist as they are and also lets me know possibilities moving forward. She doesn't sugar coat the readings but is very compassionate when answering my questions. Her readings have been very accurate. Highly recommend! Thank you again Pam.
