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."

Keeping the Line Open

From the Fey Tarot, the Eight of Wands; from the I Misteri Sibilla, Conversazione (Ace of Hearts):


          Like a parkour practitioner, this fey leaps from branch to branch looking for the fastest and most efficient way possible to the top of the tree. Yet no matter how quickly things are moving, the Conversation card indicates that communication should not be sacrificed. Just as in an ER where doctors and nurses are constantly announcing blood pressure, oxygen levels and heart rates while looking for injuries, it helps to have an open line from various sources to keep us apprised of what we might miss as things move at a rapid pace. The best communicators are like great dancers, each letting the other take their turn at leading. 

The two words 'information' and 'communication' are often used interchangeably, but they signify quite different things. Information is giving out; communication is getting through. ~Sydney J. Harris
