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."

Advance, but Carefully

From the New Era Elements Tarot, the Daughter of Fire (Page of Wands); from the Tao Oracle, 'Treading' (10):

          The Daughter/Page of Fire is illustrated with a young Maasai girl, a people who still practice a semi-nomadic way of life regardless of pressure from the Kenyan and Tanzanian governments. She represents curiosity that is expressed through adventuresome activity, not simply learning. While enthusiasm and excitement can be positive traits, the 10th Hexagram warns against impulsivity. Advance, yes, but do it cautiously and mindfully. There is a wide gulf between following one's intuition and following one's impulses, but in the excitement of the moment, both sides can seem the same. Yet one operates on understanding and the other is simply a reaction.

  1. I love the way this Page looks directly at us. There is confidence in that gaze.

  2. I wonder that any peoples can still successfully live a nomadic life, so much of the world is owned/off limits now.
