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."

Fortitude of Tongue and Pen

From the Tyldwick Tarot, Fortitude (Strength); from the Antiquarian Lenormand, the 'Letter:'
The concrete head of a lion peeks out from a crumbling garden wall, while a little wren sits on the edge of a stagnant pool. When certainties and securities begin to crumble away or when people don't act the way they're 'supposed' to behave, it's easy for our inner lion to want to roar and strike out. But the little wren (realizing it's impossible to know what is going on deep in the murky waters of other people or situations) will loudly sing its truth without adding anything toxic to the water. The Lenormand Letter represents any type of written communication. Sometimes when emotions are running high, what needs to be said gets twisted by anger, fear or sadness. Writing or typing can allow us to preview what will be sent, taking out what is unnecessary (strong feelings that will likely only distract from the message) and leaving in what is important.

  1. Sometimes writing out the words get misinterpreted. Some of the texts I receive - whew wee. They just don't come out right.

    1. That's why I try to let a trusted person proofread what I wrote if it's something important.
