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."

Radical Service

From the Rohrig Tarot, the Queen of Disks; from the Master Tarot, the 'Son of Man:'
          The Queen of Disks nurtures through her body, whether she is creating and feeding a baby, making a garden, building a house or leading a conservation effort. Her body is a temple, not because she's into taking selfies every hour, but because it allows her to serve others through it. Her service is practical and grounded in what will be of immediate help. You'll get little talk therapy from her, but she might take you on a hike in the forest if she thinks that would be beneficial. The Son of Man looks a little wild-eyed, but anyone who's studied the historical Jesus (rather than the myth) will know the human behind the name was a social reformer who believed more in taking care of others than rigidly following dogma. The booklet suggests he offers a challenge to us for radical self-discovery. Perhaps the labels we've assigned ourselves need to be widened (along with our mind) in order to serve an even greater audience.

  1. we can get calcified if we aren't open to other and new experiences and ideas. I think the three of us are on the same page this morning
