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."

In Living Color

From the Wild Unknown Tarot, the Three of Wands; from the Pictish Oracle, the Eagle:
          The Three of Wands represents an expansion, whether with a career or how someone moves through the world as a whole. It requires an investment, possibly of money and time, but definitely of emotion and effort. The three sticks suggest tying together diverse talents or knowledge to create something sturdy. Now life has gone from black and white to color - it is an exciting experience to see the changes that are beginning to happen.
          The Eagle made ten appearances on class I stones of the Picts. Another name for the eagle was ‘fireun,’ from an Irish root word meaning truth, integrity, or a just man. James Ricklef's words pull together this card and tile: "Every once in a while you need to step back from the details and take a good look at the big picture." It's easy to get caught up in the excitement and not see all the cargo our ship is bringing in. Just as the industrial revolution brought progress in some areas, it also brought pollution and grim working conditions for many of the poor. An honest, objective view with an eye toward what benefits everyone is an idea worth implementing.

  1. That Three of Wands looks like a gateway. Step through and discover something new and hopefully wonderful.

    2. I think there was something similar to that in a Star Trek show.

  2. These two cards made me think of the Three of Wands in the Osho Zen Tarot, I believe it's an eagle flying over a landscape. The ability to get perspective, once again... :)
