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."

Don't Pull Down the Shade

From the Herbcrafter's Tarot, the Ace of Fire; from the Green Wheel Tarot, Hare:


          With its soft, flannel-like leaves, mullein might seem like a strange herb to use as the Ace of Fire/Wands. But in its second year, it produces a flowering stalk than can grow six to eight feet in height - quite an eye-catcher. Sometimes things must catch our eye to spark our interest. But once noticed, that spark can turn into desire that leads to taking a chance on something new. Yet as Tom Peters once said, "If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade." Those favorable circumstances won't last long. Hare, being a prey animal, is known for its speed and reproductive capacity. Get moving, it encourages. If you don't know what will work, throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. Then you'll know where to shine your focus.

  1. I saw the biggest bunny the other day in the neighborhood. Traditional gray fur but my thought was that it had to be a cross breed of the bigger domestic bunnies. Prey indeed, still won't be a match for the coyotes that are moving into the area.

  2. We knew of one who lived under a house behind our business with a bunch of feral cats. They all seemed to get along. Must have been someone's pet.
