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 Fringe

From the Rosetta Tarot, the Five of Wands; from the Ascension to Paradise deck, Bobolink:
          Fire doesn't rest; even when it is only embers, it burns hotly. It's not a big surprise then that the stability of the Four of Wands doesn't last too long. This suit likes innovation and transformation, even when the strife it causes feels like a revolution rather than a simple change. The Bobolink travels an impressive distance to and from South America during migration (about 12,500 miles). It has a built-in compass - iron oxide in its nasal cavity helps to orient this bird with the earth’s magnetic field. It's good to have an inner compass to guide and ground us when dealing with Wands energy. Otherwise, we might burn things to the ground that might have been beneficial.

Every reform movement has a lunatic fringe.

  1. Reminds me of one of my nephews. A Sagittarius, a fire sign. A spitfire to get things started, and no follow through. Once something started his enthusiasm has moved towards some other project.
