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."

Dot of Light

This week I'll be using the Tarot of the Hidden Realm, created by Julia Jeffrey with Barbara Moore, and published by Llewellyn. I'll also be drawing from the Heart of Faerie Oracle created by Brian and Wendy Froud and published by Abrams. Today's cards are the Seven of Swords and Bright Spark:


A young warrior pauses to look to the stars for guidance before deciding to engage in battle. Who will his actions benefit ― himself, a select few, or all? What might the long-term consequences be? Is he being driven by his own passionate views or led by the frenzy of the group? The choice he makes can alter his future. Bright Spark symbolizes those small moments of inspiration or illumination that we may miss because our minds are so busy trying to out-think and out-maneuver what lies before us. Yet in the stillness and quiet, spiritual nudges may come from the luminous mind (the non-egoic wisdom within). Follow that inner light. 

May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.
― J.R.R. Tolkien
