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 Old and the New

From the Primordial Tarot, the Era of Blood (Seven of Wands); from the Wisdom of the Forest, Conscious:


          Moore describes this Neanderthal warrior as driven by instinct and survival. However, as communities developed, his war-like solutions would probably not be appropriate in all situations. There may be times when it is necessary to tap into that energy, but many impulsive behaviors need to stay in the past. The Conscious card asks us to be aware of when we are triggered to react from old patterns when a more beneficial solution is available. In the words of Leo Tolstoy, "Once we're thrown off our habitual paths, we think all is lost, but it's only here that the new and the good begins."
