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."

Power of a Bridge

From the Tarot of the Crone, the Two of Disks; from Transforming Dragons, "Suboc:"
The Two of Disks suggests that I need a hand - physically, financially or time-wise - to help me balance out my obligations. Lorenzi-Prince describes this card with the phrase "the power of of bridge." My resources can only reach so far across the chasm; I need to connect to someone else. Help can come from unexpected people and places, but I'll never get it unless I send up an emergency flare.
Suboc is described as being in a "bad humor," but I just think of him as a curmudgeon. If someone says or does something beneficial, he'll grumble that they'll probably stick it to you somewhere down the road. He'll do his best to convince me that if I reach my hand out for assistance, I'll be left hanging. Maybe I'll stick my fingers in my ears and hum instead of listening to his blather.

    1. Heehee - you are right! I wasn't too sure what this was about today, but I think it has to do with paying tuition (for my daughter).The online payment function isn't working, so I've been trying to find someone to talk to about how and where to pay.

  3. Definitely don't listen to that grumpy dragon! Every time I've reached out, I've been delighted by someone reaching back, even when I thought they wouldn't. Hope you found some help with your tuition payment issues. :)

    2. At least getting the run around at a call centre didn't manage to turn you into Suboc :D
