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."

Wide Context

From the Druidcraft Tarot, the Two of Cups; from the Druid Animal Oracle, Eagle:

The Two of Cups symbolizes a commitment born of the heart. Whether between spouses, partners, friends, or family members (including pets), such a vow is rooted in love and kindness rather than obligation. Yet life can act as a spade or hoe, disrupting those connections with hardships and pain. The Eagle offers us the spaciousness to see situations in a wider context, providing clarity and objectivity. Rather than being stuck in a mindset of how things should or shouldn't be (based on our particular conditioning and experiences), such a perspective allows us to step into other people's shoes and see through their lens. As Tim Burton put it, "One person's craziness is another person's reality."

    Perspective is my 2020 word of the year. It has been a good choice, reminding to set aside perception and look with clarity

      So easy to forget that others rarely see through the same filters we do. Perspective was an excellent choice!

    None of us see exactly what another one sees, since we are all on our own paths. Variances, tiny though they may be changes the lens of viewpoints.

      Like that one click that changes the lens during an eye exam.
