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."

Idealism + Effort

From the Sun and Moon Tarot, the Lovers; from the Wisdom Keepers Oracle, Idealism:
          Decort explains that her biracial lovers represent a yin-yang relationship, one that encourages personal growth and development. The children symbolize playfulness and curiosity, the lion vitality, the eagle allegiance, and the alchemical egg transformation. Such a bond is a cooperative effort bound together by unconditional kindness. It may seem more like a fairy tale than real life, so it's not surprising that Idealism shows up. Idealism is the pursuit of noble principles and purposes, seeming more suitable for a Knight or the Fool. Yet if we have no compass to point us in the right direction, we have no markers for the road to take. The principles may seem too unrealistic to be practical, but the point is not to reach perfection, just to move in that general direction.

You see, idealism detached from action is just a dream. But idealism allied with pragmatism,
with rolling up your sleeves and making the world bend a bit, is very exciting.

    1. They were definitely not the sanitized versions in kids' books today.
