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."

Bigger than a Brain Cell

From the Sacred India Tarot, the King of Arrows (Swords); from the State by State Playing Cards, 'Michigan/Ace of Spades:'
          The King of Arrow/Swords is illustrated with the legendary figure of Garuda, who has half human and half eagle features. The enemy of snakes (because they had enslaved his mother), he became the vehicle for the god Vishnu, who fought injustice and evil. Garuda once went to the aid of a sparrow whose nest had been lapped up by the Ocean. Garuda threatened the Ocean with an attack, and so the bird received back her eggs. Garuda also symbolizes thought; just as the eagle can fly at incredible speeds, so can the mind. Michigan is known for the production of cars, and as such, represents movement. It's not enough to be philosophical, discussing injustice and how to change things for the better, action needs to be taken as well. In the words of Arnold Glasow, “An idea not coupled with action will never get any bigger than the brain cell it occupied.”

    1. I wonder if she was in essence flipping her husband off, since he has embarrassed her, she might have wanted to return the favor. Had she worn the jacket into the facility, I would not be so lenient.

  2. Two wrongs can never make something right. It was just wrong of her to wear the jacket.
