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."

Different isn't Evil

 From the Swietlistej Drogi Tarot, the King of Swords; from the Mirrors of the Heart, Uniqueness:


          This king is honest and thoughtful; he doesn't make any decision or answer anything impulsively. The tip of his sword rests on the ground, implying that he channels everything through the filter of facts, evidence, and experience. While he will acknowledge that an individual can have a particular encounter in a particular situation, he's not willing to take a wide brush and generalize that to everyone. The Uniqueness card is a reminder that just because someone is different or unusual, it doesn't make them bad or wrong. In the words of Maya Angelou, "It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength."
