Lamat is the star, definitely a sign of the cosmic or spiritual side of life. We’ve built so much around the stars. We gaze into the night, and through our powerful minds we imagine the vast space before us, and recognize how little we are. Our sing songs about the twinkle twinkle, and recite phrases like, “I wish I may, I wish I might…”.
When we are lost we seek the north star, for the north star holds its position, and always leads us home. Lamat is the navigator, showing us the way.
Lamat is not about the light, as some may believe. Instead let’s think of the star as the infinite possibilities. The stars are only seen at night, and when we close our eyes those stars can be found when we turn within. But we also live in a world that requires choices, and commitment. As capable as we are, we cannot have everything.
The temptation of Lamat is that open doorway. We can gaze all we want, and live in our dream world. It is our task to pick and choose. The seeds of possibilities are as abundant as the stars. Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
