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."

Pursuit and Just Being

From the Herbcrafter's Tarot, the Emperor; from the Green Wheel Oracle, the 'Seal:'
The structure and boundaries of the Emperor are illustrated with Eastern hemlock (not to be confused with the poisonous herb), a tree used in light framework and for wood pulp. Rules are necessary to keep things running smoothly unless we use them without discernment. Then they can easily become punishments for those on a power trip. Seal suggests we take things less seriously and lighten up. A little play can take the creases out of our brow and put a smile on our face.
Now and then it’s good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy. 
–Guillaume Apollinaire
