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."

Note to Self

From the Spirit Within Tarot, the Fool; from the Answer Deck, Strength:
To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself.
~Soren Kierkegaard 

          The Fool brings great potential and a multitude of possibilities to the fore. He has such an inner urge to try a new path that his adrenaline rush does not produce fear but excitement. His instincts (the dog), based on all the old conditioned ways of doing things, watches but does not interfere. The Fool may experience a lot of bumps and bruises along the way, but his life will be fuller and he'll gain a larger, more complete perspective by taking this chance. Strength in the form of Atlas shows up to give the Fool a boost. The kind of strength he'll need is resilience - persistence that is also flexible and adaptable.

Note to self: every time you were convinced you couldn’t go on, you did.
