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."

Love is a Verb

From the Ferret Tarot, the Knight of Cups; from Nature's Wisdom Oracle, Hummingbird:

Love is a verb
It ain't a thing
It's not something you own
It's not something you scream.
~John Mayer

          This lovesick ferret spends his days fantasizing about romancing the ferret of his dreams. But if these moments only exist in his mind, they are castles made of sand. To paraphrase Paige Braddock, when you're riding the wave of romance, it will eventually wash up on the shore of reality. The Hummingbird, a blur of energy, suggests he step out of his head and show his beloved how he feels. Better yet, he could figure out the "language of love" his partner speaks and (if she's receptive) take action:
  1. Words of Affirmation
  2. Acts of Service
  3. Thoughtful Gifts
  4. Quality Time (Undivided Attention)
  5. Physical Touch
