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."

Crumbling and Rebuilding

From the Badgers' Forest Tarot, the Tower; from the Gemstone Oracle, Citrine:


          The Tower represents a foundation that was thought to be secure and certain, but is now crumbling. It may be a tradition, a dogma, or just the lens we use to perceive the world. Once we stop quaking in our boots, we have a choice to make. Citrine represents a fresh perspective, but the quote by Rachel Joyce warns us to use discernment: "Beginnings could happen more than once or in different ways. You could think you were starting something afresh, when actually what you were doing was carrying on as before." We must remember that nothing is ever fixed and unchangeable. And secondly, we must not rebuild on the old foundation and simply give it a new label. 

Our suffering connects us to billions of others around the world who are also conscientiously distancing themselves for the sake of kindness and safety. A hand on our hearts can remind us that freedom, peace, and connection are always here. —Nina Herzog

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy holiday, full of things to be thankful for.
