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."

No Vision, Only Strife

From the Tabula Mundi Tarot, the Five of Wands; from the Universe Cards, Satellite:

          Rather than the heated discussion suggested in RWS decks, this Five of Wands implies a destructive power of volcanic proportions that disrupts the current stability. While change may be needed, this aggressive action can seem over the top. I am reminded of those people who in their search for excitement often become 'rebels without a cause' (also known as shit-stirrers). They have no vision they want to work toward and no solutions to offer, only strife and hostility. The Satellite card describes the moons that orbit around the planets of the Solar System, kept in orbit by a planet's gravity. In the same way, these ricocheting rebels are attracted to anything they think can be stirred up and caused to boil over. They live to inflame and engage in battle. The best way to counter them is with facts, humor or silence rather than taking any bait they dangle. 

Anyone wanting to mug a troll would have to use a building on a stick.

  1. Sometimes the pot needs to be stirred, to keep from boiling over.
