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."

Who's Saving the Heroes?

From the Tarot of the Masters, the Six of Wands; from the Paracelsus Oracle, Populus:

Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light.
 —Norman B. Rice

          This Six of Wands, with its horn, pipes and drum sticks, hints at a challenge met with success. The pairing of it with the Populus card (literally 'people'), reminds me of those who run into danger in order to protect and save their community. Whether they are health care workers dealing with a pandemic or firemen and EMTs dealing with a disaster, they have the courage to face and handle a crisis for the greater good of all. But who protects them? Many governors of states whose hospitals were just recently overwhelmed by Covid-19 patients are now removing mask mandates and lifting other regulations. But who is looking out for their heroes? Who is protecting those who give their lives to save us?

    I'm guessing we've lost a ton of good people leaving hospital work.
