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."

The Width of It

From the Badgers Forest Tarot, the Page of Wands; from the Gemstone Oracle, Red Jasper:


          This little bunny is up early to explore the meadow this morning - there are so many things to see, sniff and nibble on. With all his natural-born eagerness and energy, he learns best by experiencing things rather than reading or listening (just ask his mother about that last one). It would be wise to at least try to temper his excitement with some words of caution, but Red Jasper ('passion for living') suggest we don't throw too much cold water on his inner fire. We would do well to heed the words of Diane Ackerman to balance out any tendency to be overly cautious: "I do not want to get to the end of my life and find that I just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well."

    That's a hoppy Page of Wands, who doesn't worry about the length and breath of his days. He is always in the moment. That's all we really have.

    fortunately his ingrained instincts will help.

      And he's young enough to still pay attention to them.
