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."

Independence with Boundaries

From the Ferret Tarot, the Page of Wands; from Nature's Wisdom Oracle, 'Cat:'
          My eldest nephew was a handful when he was a toddler. He was one of those kids that if you said something was dangerous, he'd translate that as exciting. There were no reasons for some of his escapades, he just liked to see if he could do them (like getting his head caught between the bars of a chair, which then had to be taken apart to release him). I'm convinced parents and other guardians are the ones who keep these adventurous ones alive until they develop more foresight. The Cat was worshipped by the Egyptians because of its usefulness and independent nature. That independence is what needs careful attention with the Page of Wands types. They may need boundaries, but they don't need any cold water dousing their fires.

Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We are meant to shine, as children do.

  1. I had a cousin David like that. Grew into a fine young man. We never expected him to make it out of childhood alive...
