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."

Inspiration and Revivification

From the Druidcraft Tarot, the Magician; from the Druid Animal Oracle, Hare:
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
~Michael Jordan 

It can feel like rolling Sisyphus' boulder when we try to move from inspiration to manifestation. But the worst obstacle is often a fear of failure, so we easily convince ourselves our idea is not worth the effort. But the Magician suggests we gather our resources, make a plan, and do it anyway. If we don't get the results we want, we haven't lost anything, and we might discover a flaw that we can correct and try again. The Hare represents renewal, a good practice when one is involved in a challenging project. The revival of one's spirits might come from a good night's sleep, a long walk, or laughing with a friend. If those eggs are going to hatch, the hare tells us, we need to make time to revivify ourselves.

    1. Ah yes, the overthinking, over-analyzing squirrel brain!

  2. We are always learning ways not to do things. Then we find what works. That is part of the fun in life.

    1. Mistakes can definitely be guideposts if we let them.
