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 Gifts

From the Nigel Jackson Tarot, the Queen of Coins; from the Viking Lenormand, the 'Clouds:'

          Behind this Queen's throne is a tapestry with baled sheaves of grain. It fits her grounded and practical nature, as she is often heard to say, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch." If someone lost their home due to fire or flood, she'd tell the Hierophant to hold off on the prayer service until these people have food, clothes, and a bed to sleep in. She nurtures in concrete ways, helping people until they can help themselves. The Clouds card represents confusion and uncertainty. While this Queen cares for others in useful ways, she knows the gifts of working with people's emotions, ambitions, and honesty are in the hands of her sister queens. She has enough sense not to try to be everything for everyone when there's someone else more qualified who can be asked for help and clarity.
The truth is that we all have gifts to share – time, talent, connections, insights, experience, skills, resources, hospitality. And most people love to share them! ~ Margie Warrell
