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."

Trail Blazer

From the Cosmic Cycles Tarot, the Knight of Pentacles; from the Magic Neko Deck, the Two of Clubs:


Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
Till you find your dream
~Patricia Neway

          This basketball player as the KoP believes in training hard, listening to the advice of his coaches, studying the opponent's tactics, and giving one hundred percent in each game. He doesn't dream of being a great player one day, he determinedly practices every day to become one. The Two of Pentacles card suggests digging deep for courage when the normal avenues to one's goals are blocked and blazing one's own trail. In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail."

    So days it is not about getting better, but just getting it done. "Do It"

      Focus on the task, not how fun it is or what I'd rather be doing. :)

    I'm retired. If it isn't fun I ain't doing it.

      Well, I'm the house cleaner and yard tamer - not always fun, but those tasks have a rhythm that can be relaxing. :D
