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."

Where Your Feet Are

From the Mythic Tarot, the Ace of Wands; from the Symbolon, 'Dreaming Johnny:'
          Zeus stands draped with the Golden Fleece, the hide from his sacred ram. Jason and his Argonauts would begin a long and treacherous journey to find it with Zeus tossing in challenges at every step. The companion book describes this Ace as "the beginning of the great journey into the world of vision and imagination, where concrete limitations are challenged and overcome, and where life is never the same afterward." It gives meaning to life to have a purpose and vision to follow, but Dreaming Johnny (Gemini in Aquarius) offers a warning. It's dangerous to live in our heads so much that we don't know where our feet are. We can harm ourselves or others unintentionally if we don't stay grounded. For those of us who are planners, it's easy for the mind to run ahead.
The only way to extraordinary is what I do with the ordinary.
Be where your feet are.

  1. Wands Energy. Start something and then someone else finish it. Zeus was that instigator the had humanity running here and there.

    1. Pour in a microwave-safe bowl with just enough water to cover; microwave for 3 minutes, drain and serve!
