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."

Making and Managing

From the Tarot of the Cat People, the King of Pentacles; from the Sacred Geometry Oracle, the Tetrahedron:
 Making money is hard enough, but managing money is infinitely more difficult. The skills and instincts necessary for one can actually hinder the other. ~J.E. Wilson Advisors

Kuykendall's King of Pentacles has whisker-like protrusions from his crown. In the same way that a cat's whiskers are a well-honed sensory tool, this King has his senses feeling out all parts of his kingdom - what is getting created, what is being sustained, and what is being used. The Tetrahedron is associated with the element of Fire and thus energy. Every fire needs fuel to sustain it, but the wise fire keeper knows that green wood won't burn well and cutting down all the trees will eventually deplete resources if others aren't planted. This King asks us to take a look at how we are managing, using and replacing our physical resources, whether that might be our time, health or finances.

  1. The King is a good draw for you today. While watching roof being installed and completed and being outside on this first day of Spring to envision your blooming flower beds and trees

    1. I'll be replanting a lot because of the flood waters that covered everything for days. But, I was very happy to see the two new Japanese maples I planted after the hurricane survived being underwater for so long - little leaflets are coming out on both of them!

  2. have you read the Cat People book and looked at the cards under magnification. Kuykendall put such a huge amount of work into this deck.

    1. I haven't seen the companion book, but I'm guessing it must read like a sci-fi or fantasy novel. :D I know these cards aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I like them.
