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."

The Search

From the World Spirit Tarot, the Hermit; from the Mystic Origins, Sun:
          This Hermit holds a lantern of truth with one hand while extending her other palm upward in a gesture of receptiveness. The booklet encourages: "make room in your life for spiritual matters. Take time alone to reflect and look within." The Sun represents both energy (effort) and clarity and seems to be what lights the Hermit's search. When she uncovers what has been neglected or ignored, she can then take steps to correct her path. There is a little bunny hiding in the shadows at her feet that suggests something good will come from this time of spiritual inventory. Perhaps it is that she will have insights to offer anyone who is also in search of the light.

Spirituality creates willing people who let go of their need to be first, to be right, to be saved, to be superior, and to define themselves as better than other people. ~ Richard Rohr

  1. This Hermit appears to be the Queen of Pentacles, how has retreated to find something more than the outwards trappings.

    1. Easy to get caught up in the outward hustle and bustle and forget to check the inward side of things. :)

  2. a opposed to religion which seems to encourage the thinking that only they are right, superior, saved, better. Boggles my mind. Beautiful deck.

    1. Yep. People get ticked at the 'spiritual but not religious' movement, but I think it is a way to be more inclusive rather than exclusive.
