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."

A Few Nicks and Scratches

From the Tarot of the Cat People, the Five of Swords; from the Sacred Geometry Oracle, Octahedron:

From a worldly point of view, there is no mistake so great as that of being always right. 
–Samuel Butler

          It's easy to tell an abusive pet owner from a kind pet owner - the first type trains his animals to cower in fear, such as these cats are doing behind the rocks. Some people enjoy feeling smug and superior through intellectual conquests; they care more about being right than than how they are battering and destroying their relationships. The Octahedron is a polyhedron made of eight triangular faces. The natural crystals of diamonds are often in this shape, which seems to imply an extreme level rigidity and prestige, yet fluorite (a 4 on the Mohs Scale) also contains these crystals. Wouldn't it be worth a few scratches and nicks on our opinions and ideas to salvage our friendships?

    Insecurity causes all kinds of stupid behavior. I want to lash out of them but try to remember theirs' a learned behaviour and they are victims that need a prayer. I know because I am a victim of victims.

      Those are the kind of 'friends' I don't mind losing.
