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."

Known and Unknown

From the Bonefire Tarot, the Seven of Wands; from the Day of the Dead Lenormand, the 'Stork:'
           This young fellow looks weary standing up for himself. Instead of simply protecting his boundaries - his rights - could he also be trying to convince others to think like he does? That is an impossible task, one that could waste energy that might be put to better uses. Agreeing to disagree and accepting their differences rather than seeing each other as adversaries might give them all a chance to breathe. There's no need to push on someone else's boundaries, just defend our own. The Stork card from the Lenormand deck represents change and transformation. Together with the Seven of Wands, it asks us to reconsider our motives and viewpoints. Has our thinking and ways of doing things become as rigid as the people we are fighting against? Is there information we think we understand, yet don't have the knowledge of experience that goes with it?
In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between them, there are doors. William Blake

  1. When we stop and think how hard it is to change ourselves, we realize that that is almost no way to change another.
    I like the quote - goes with The Moon I drew today.
