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."

The Building Cycle

From the Spirit Within Tarot, the Four of Wands; from the Answer Deck, Destruction:

Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.      
~Pablo Picasso

          In the Four of Wands, a firm foundation has been built - a new beginning that is worthy of celebration. But, as Picasso states, the ground must be cleared first. If we are planting a crop, we must clear the field. We go to therapy to help us heal our old wounds and unskillful behavior patterns in order to build healthy relationships. No foundation will be stable otherwise, yet it is still subject to change.

Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another.
~John Muir
