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."

Balance of Darkness and Light

From the Tarot of the Masters, the Three of Cups; from the Key to the Kingdom, the Jack of Spades:

          Everyone has a personal way of meeting life's ups and downs: some depend on a spiritual foundation, some develop a keen sense of humor and gratitude, a few may depend on the arts or nature, and others find purpose in community-based altruistic activities. But one thing's for certain - not many people find emotional stability without a few supportive friends by their side. The Jack of Spades is illustrated with a depiction of Jack Frost, a personification of wintry weather. He is said to make the leaves change colors and leave frosty fern-like patterns on windows. Yet he also brings the bitter nip of icy cold to faces, fingers, and toes. He is a good representation of life's mountains and valleys, both the wonders and hardships we experience. Thank goodness for friends who can help us balance the darkness with light.

A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked. – Bernard Meltzer

    1. A very different kind of happy hour - I don't think one of them is going to make it back to work!
