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."

A Better Way

 From the Greenwood Tarot, the Knight of Arrows (Wands); from the Rune Cards, Algiz:

          The hawk is a fitting symbol for the Knight of Wands, a person who is competitive, ambitious, and impetuous. The FedEx slogan - "When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight" - fits his mindset well. Yet Algiz (elk sedge) cautions not to be too impulsive about grasping what is wanted. As the Anglo-Saxon poem warns:
Elk sedge most often lives in fenland,
growing in water; it grimly wounds
and burns with blood
every man who grabs it.
In the words of Bill Wilson, "Perhaps there is a better way."
