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."

Right Turns and Wrong Turns

This week I'll be using the Light Seer's Tarot, created by Chris-Anne Donnelly and published by Hay House. The other deck I'll be drawing from is the Celtic Lenormand, with artwork by Will Worthington and booklet by Chloe McCracken; it is published by U.S. Games. Today's cards are the Three of Wands and Stars:
          This gal did her research to find a great place to surf, saved her pennies, then traveled there on holiday. Now she waits to see what the actual conditions are - if the waves are breaking in one direction, not folding over in different places along its length. She'll know soon whether her investment and collected information will pay off. If she can stay aware of what is instead of having too many expectations, she's bound to learn something and possibly have some fun too. The Lenormand card shows a man using a navigational tool that uses the stars for guidance. He's not going to argue that the stars are in the wrong place, he'll understand that he is off course. In the same way, the young surfer may find that the waves are not perfect, but that isn't the ocean's fault. As Mandy Hale wrote, "Sometimes it takes a wrong turn to get you to the right place."
