Safe and Sane

This week I'll be using the Swietlistej Drogi Tarot (Tarot of the Radiant Path), created by Alla Alicja Chrzanowska and published by Studio Astropsychologii. I'll also be drawing from the oracle Mirrors of the Heart, created and self-published by Lily S. May. Today's draws are the Queen of Pentacles and 'Light:'

          This Queen appears to be putting thoughts of love and comfort into each basket of food that she sends out to those in need. For her, nurturing and kindness take on a physical form that goes far beyond a feeling of obligation. In the words of James Ricklef, "Caring for others out of love is a joy; doing it out of a sense of duty is a burden. Choose well." The Light card from the Mirrors deck illuminates the two opposing political viewpoints in America. For one side, everything is a battle; they feel we must fight and conquer all who have opposing views. On the other side, there is an acknowledgment of darkness and the problems it brings. But instead of going to war, there is the idea of looking for creative solutions and nurturing seeds of goodness to balance things out. The Light looks to the well-being of all, not destruction and hatred. In the words of John F. Kennedy, "We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us thru that darkness to a safe and sane future."
