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."

A-Ten-Hut!

This week I'll be using the Nigel Jackson Tarot, created by Jackson and published by Llewellyn. I'll also be using the Viking Lenormand, created and self-published by my dear friend Carole Beasley. Today's draws are the Two of Coins and the Rider:
          The companion booklet describes the Two of Coins as 'skillful management,' an apt explanation of this card's meaning. How do the scales balance when it comes to assets and expenditures, self-care and the care of others, or rest and work time? The scales might not be even each day, but over a period of days, they should look a little more in line with each other. The Rider appears with the reminder to be aware of what's going on within and around us instead of going through our days with blinders on. There may be messages from our bodies, our bank accounts or friends and family that need our attention.

We must hold still in the midst of our burning thoughts, our anxieties, our fears, and our emotions. We must remember to settle into our bodies and allow them to do the knowing, the resting, the connecting to the earth beneath us. We have a chance now, while the world has stilled, to feel the wind and the sun, to walk outside in the rain, to notice the small, yellow faces of dandelions emerging from the mud. We have a chance to remember what matters in this fleeting, fragile life – our connections, our loves, our families, friends, communities and our host, this endlessly beautiful and constantly changing Earth. —Elizabeth Monson
