I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Sharing Secrets

From the Tarot de St. Croix, the Empress, and from the Archetype Cards, the Fool:
 Since I'll be on the road for a few days, I'll be doing a shortened version of my usual blog for a while. The Empress creates in order to nurture, and her nurturing is fueled by emotion rather than logic. I leave for my mom's today, then we'll travel north together for the 90th birthday of her cousin. I am honored that she wants me as her companion - this woman has traveled to over 52 countries, so traveling in the States is a piece of cake for her. Our journey will give us a chance for us to catch up on each other's lives, to laugh and reconnect. The Fool card may suggest that this will be a time to reveal more of ourselves to each other, rather than hiding behind emotional masks. Everyone has their secrets, sometimes even more so with a parent.

    1. No deep secrets, but it did give us time to talk freely and reconnect for sure.

  2. Thinking of you on this road trip, and hoping you have a wonderful time. Yes, I think there are always secrets with our parents, but perhaps you can enjoy one another's company, adult-to-adult...

    1. That's the nice thing about having a parent whose company you enjoy - it is like being with a great friend. :)
