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."

Matter Matters

From the Secret Forest Tarot, the Ace of Pentacles; from the Faeries' Oracle, Laiste, Moon's Daughter:

It is vitally important that we understand how matter matters.
—Karen Barad

          Matter is anything that has mass or takes up space; it usually comes in the form of a solid, liquid, or gas. Humans desire matter to serve them, forgetting that matter is what sustains them. Matter is what deserves our stewardship and protection. Folks are often impressed by their own knowledge and cleverness yet forget that without matter these traits wouldn't make a difference. The Moon's Daughter brings a soft light to guide us. Laiste doesn't have any patience for people who won't pay attention and will gladly let them bonk themselves on a tree limb if it will wake them up. Added to the Ace, she might whisper the words of Diane Ackerman: "There is no way in which to understand the world without first detecting it through the radar-net of our senses."
