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."

Perspective Flip

From the Herbcrafter's Tarot, Strength; from the Green Wheel Oracle, 'Goat:'
          Garlic has been used for centuries as a pungent herb in seasonings, but it is also beneficial for conditions of the heart (such as hypertension) and as a boost to the immune system. The tie-in with Strength's courage and compassion meanings are clear. The creators have added a honeycomb as a suggestion to balance the power of pungency with some sweetness. The Goat is a trickster, asking us to consider the flip side of things. For instance, is that love and tolerance just a cover for passivity that avoids confrontation? Are courage and tenacity really just nice labels for stubbornness and impulsivity? Inner strength requires a truthful look at what motivates and sustains our power source.

    I started ready a book the other day "The Blue Zones" been out for awhile and it is written about those living beyond One Hundred and the areas of the World where there are a higher occurrences of centenarians. Often they are vegetarians with lots of herbs and one area they believe goats milk gives them the advantage.

      I think living simply - which would include how we eat - would help us in so many ways. :)

    I think those longevity areas are still living simpler times, closer to the earth, but well above subsistence level. common sense says to me, eliminating the stressors you can't do anything about (modern times) is bound to be of a health benefit.

      Yes, that's the other part - learning to live with the natural challenges that come from simply being human.
