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 Mind of Science

From the Rohrig Tarot, the Six of Swords; from the Master Tarot/oracle, 'Mustard Seed:'

          The Thoth title of the Six of Swords is 'Science,' indicating that emotion is not overwhelming the ability to think rationally. Clarity and objectivity allow for a wider perspective in order to see many possibilities instead of blindly holding on to pet assumptions. The parable of the Mustard Seed suggests that even a tiny amount of faith can grow into something much larger and useful. Faith might be compared to an open mind rather than a closed one. With more space, the more room there is for knowledge and understanding.

An open mind is also a humble mind because it realizes how little it actually knows.

    1. For me faith is often found in people who have met great challenges and been transformed by them in good ways.

  2. I think the faith of a mustard seed is the most important thing I ever drew from the bible.

    1. It's so easy to believe in what's horrible and terrible; it definitely requires faith to keep looking for what is good.
