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."

Present-Focused

From the Sasuraibito Tarot, the Magician; from the Soul Cards, 'Bare Bones:'
 Abandoning any hope of fruition does not mean abandoning our projects and ambitions. Instead, it points to a way of going about things that is present-focused rather than fixated on results.
—Judy Lief
          This Magician literally has a lot of balls (and hands) in the air. Whatever he is trying to manifest, he's keeping his head down and staying focused on all the pieces in play. If he were to pause and stare off into space, those pieces would become scattered. The time for dreaming is past and the time for taking action is now. 'Bare Bones' suggests removing all that is extraneous to a situation, all the extras that don't really have anything to do with the task at hand. Adding emotional drama or information that is not pertinent does not create progress. If a problem arises, creative thinking for possible solutions will bring a quicker resolution than simply whining about the issue. "Focus on what's in front of you," the Magician would advise us.

  1. I can admire that Magician getting so many things done at once; it's like magic. I used to be able to multi-task and get so much done. now I wonder how I did it all, must have been magic!
