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."

True Wisdom

From the Prairie Tarot, the World; from the Medicine Cards, the Squirrel:
          The four figures in the World card seem to represent the four directions from a Native view: North (endurance), East (wisdom), South (growth), and West (endings). The Fool, having made his/her way through the various joys and challenges of life, now is able to find some balance in coping with the experience of living through knowledge and mindfulness. There have been some extremes along the way, but the middle ground has been discovered. Yet Squirrel, whose Medicine includes gathering and preparation, sends the message not to get too complacent as there is more to experience and learn. The right use of knowledge will bring wisdom.

True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us. ~Socrates

    My first thought in viewing the card, tight rope. Sometimes daily life can seem like that, a precarious fool's journey.

      It reminded me of my grandmother. In the early 1900s when she was young, she and the local kids decided to put on a circus (they even sold tickets). She walked a tight rope that was on the ground! 😁
