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."

Tea Time

From the Idiosyncradeck, the Seven of Cups; from the Mixed Emotions Cards, Confident:

          Black tea, green tea, chamomile, lemon balm, peppermint... the list of available teas seems to be limitless. The Seven of Cups is that moment of decision when we consider what will fulfill us and then pursue it. It may seem simple until we have to make that choice ourselves, then we may be plagued with 'buts' and 'what ifs.' The words of Bill Wilson offer some wisdom:

Wise men and women rightly give a top rating to the virtue of prudence. They know that without this all-important attribute little wisdom is to be had. Mere ‘looking before we leap’ is not enough. If our looking is charged with fear, suspicion, or anger, we had better not have looked or acted at all.

But once we decide, with discernment and a sense of peace, we should take that leap as the Confident card illustrates. But what if we later find we still made the wrong decision? Bill again offers some advice:

We lose the fear of making decisions, great and small, as we realize that should our choice prove wrong we can, if we will, learn from the experience.
