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."

Wide Brush

From the Prisma Visions Tarot, the Hierophant; from the Secret Language of Color Cards, 'Apricot:'
          This is quite a different looking Hierophant than the usual representation as Pope. Yet the bullish look to this constellation still has the same ramifications - conformity to the rules will be required. Is it worth one's personal freedom to be able to join this cultural, man-made tradition? Of course, this card doesn't just represent religion but any long-standing group such as civic clubs, educational institutions, and corporations. Apricot offers the suggestion to laugh and release the burden of anxiety that is clouding the clarity of choice. Without that burden, it may be easy to see that authority figures automatically trigger resistance and close the mind. Step back and look with a lighter attitude, these cards imply. It may be that we're painting with too wide of a brush. Crows walk like a duck, but they are most definitely not a duck.
It is certain that the study of human psychology, if it were undertaken exclusively in prisons, would also lead to misrepresentation and absurd generalizations.
