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."

Window Watching

From Songs for the Journey Home Tarot, Flame Innocence (Page of Wands); from the Raven Cards, 'You can't hold your breath:'

          A young lass looks longingly at the mountain landscape outside her window. She operates on instinct and is full of inquisitiveness, yet the closed gate and fence symbolize her lack of resources to go exploring. For now, she dreams, wonders and learns. She makes a promise to herself that one day she'll see what worlds lay beyond the mountains. The Raven card prods us not to just sit around pouting when our dreams are delayed ("You can't hold your breath."). There are plenty of adventures waiting in our own backyards, neighborhoods, and communities if we'll open our mind wider than our wishes. 
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. ~Earl Nightingale

    Security over wanderlust. Both are good choices.

      No need to jump in the car and take a trip if you don't have any gas (or a driver's license)!
