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."

Living It

From the Navigators of the Mystic Sea Tarot, the Fool; from the Celtic Lenormand, the 'Man:'
          The Fool has been assigned the keyword 'emanation,' something that comes from a source (the spiritual into the material). For those who are religious, this might be an incarnation from a heavenly plane; for others, it might simply be something brought into the world out of love. The Fool's focus is to explore the joys and delights of his new physical surroundings, learning through both mistakes and progress. He is a reminder that 'matter matters;' we must have the real world to learn such values as compassion, forgiveness, temperance, and other spiritual principles. The Man card from the Celtic Lenormand shows a fellow with a tool, emphasizing the masculine characteristic of action. Both these cards suggest a line from AA's basic text: "The spiritual life is not a theory. We have to live it." This Earth is not sinful or evil, rather it is the crucible through which we can wholly develop our potential.
