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."

Net Worth

From the Ellis Deck, Judgment; from the Brownies Oracle, 'Commencement:'
          Ellis suggests that Judgment refers to hearing the call to a higher purpose, recognizing one's past self-centered ways, and committing to a different path. The Commencement card shows the Brownies getting ready for a voyage, an appropriate segue from Judgment. It's easy to get fired up about changing one's old habits, but sometimes it's hard to transfer that enthusiasm from the intellect to behavior. It takes tenacity to practice new actions and attitudes over and over until they become the new normal. But as the Brownies would say, "If you really want it, then get on with it."

Your net worth to the world is usually determined by what remains
after your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones.
― Benjamin Franklin

  1. My first thought when viewing that Judgement card was 'stages of ascension.'

    1. He was a great example. He was a bundle of bad behavior but he offset it with the good. :)
