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."

More Than a Mind-Sponge

From the Hezicos Tarot, the Page of Swords; from the Way of the Horse Oracle, Rasa Dance:

          This Page's pointy ears are like an antenna, seeking out information. He's not looking for juicy gossip, he's just a knowledge nerd. But he can be a handful because he asks questions about what he's heard in order to get a fuller understanding. He's not yet learned that some subjects require tact or perhaps shouldn't be broached in certain company. With his sponge-like mind, he'll be a walking encyclopedia one day. Rasa Dance shows a horse and woman performing steps in tandem. It is a dance of co-creation with each one bringing something individual to the collective movement as they play. This idea of co-creation is something the Page needs to learn. It's not enough to take in information and be able to spit it back out again. He needs to be able to think for himself, to be discerning and able to think outside the box.

The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.
