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."

Perching or Flying

 From the Prisma Visions Tarot, the Fool; from The Secret Language of Color Cards, Amber:

A pelican sits on a pylon, ready to take flight into the unknown. The Fool represents an abundance of optimism and trust, idealism which later gets tempered with the experience of hardships. Still, that type of enthusiasm and confidence is what gets us off our comfy perches, risking a leap into the unknown. Amber is associated with awakening creativity. The resin of the same name often traps animals and plants in it, creating a fossil of what existed many years ago. If right at this moment we became fossilized, would we later be discovered simply sitting on our perch or doing something we loved, something that brought us fulfillment?

  1. That is kind of a shadowed Fool. Is that a bear in the water waiting for the Fool to loose her balance and fall?

    1. The whole deck is kind of shadowy. :) I think it is a wolf waiting for the bird to take a plunge.
