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."

Don't Overlook the Other

From the Greenwood Tarot, the Ten of Stones (Pentacles); from the Rune Cards, Cen/Ken:


          In the words of L. Frank Baum, "There is no place like home." Home is a sacred place where we find refuge, where we feel most secure and loved. My heart hurts today for the thousands of people who have lost their homes and loved ones in the fires on the West Coast. Life has literally pulled the rug out from beneath their feet. May those who leave to find safety also find hospitality and compassion wherever they pause along the way. Cen, or literally 'torch', suggests a light in the darkness. Sometimes it is knowledge or leadership, but it can often be a light of hope. There's so much darkness in our country right now. Even though we have our own, let's not overlook the suffering of others.

Compassion allows us to use our own pain and the pain of others as a vehicle for connection.

  1. Letting our prayers drift on the wind to join other's prayers for healing. A combine effort for all by all will be needed.
