Only Borrowed
This week I'll be using the Herbcrafter's Tarot, created through the combined efforts of Joanna Powell Colbert and Latisha Guthrie. The set is published by U.S. Games. Paired with it will be the Green Wheel Oracle, created and self-published by Danielle Barlow. Today's draws are the Ten of Earth (Horsetail) and Snake:
Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is a plant related to ferns and has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. This herb contains silicon, which helps strengthen bone. For that reason, some modern practitioners recommend horsetail as a treatment for osteoporosis. The Ten of Earth represents solid and secure foundations that are often seen as an inheritance to pass on to others. But we have a responsibility to later generations not just for the money and material things we leave them, but for the condition we leave our planet that they will inhabit. Snake calls for sacrifice and shedding habits that are causing our 'foundation' to falter. As Lyndon B. Johnson stated, "If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it."

Because We Can
From the Tarot of the Master, the Nine of Coins; from the Paracelsus Oracle, Conjunctio:
The keyword given for this card is a bit unusual - courtesy. When I noticed what appeared to be a serving tray at the bottom, I was reminded how often there are circumstances when we serve and help others not because we have to but because we can. Conjunctio (conjunction) suggests an intersection or convergence of forces that come together for a common goal. Do we cross paths with people so that we may learn from each other, and perhaps offer aid? These opportunities tend to change both parties in beneficial ways. I'm currently reading an older book titled "The Day the World Came to Town," an uplifting account of the many planes from around the world that were forced to land in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland on 9/11 and the kindness and support that was shown. A perfect example of these two cards.
