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."

Yearning and Craving

From the Victorian Romantic Tarot, the Two of Wands; from the Dreaming in Color Deck, Indulgence:


Like all explorers, we are drawn to discover what’s out there without knowing yet, if we have the courage to face it. ―Pema Chödrön

          Do we dive into the unknown or stick with what we know with certainty? This woman holds palm leaves, a symbol of success in her endeavors. Yet there is a yearning for something more beyond marking her days, doing what she has done for years. The Indulgence card suggests gratifying desires, yet there is a hint of warning to check our motivation. Are we trying to grow and develop, to learn and make our lives more expansive? Or are we simply looking to satisfy a constant craving for more and better?

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed. ― Mahatma Gandhi

    Our posts have a similarity today, with your Two of Wands and my draw of the Two of Cups.
