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."

Shared Blessings

From the Victorian Fairy Tarot, the Ten of Summer (Cups); from the Haindl Rune Oracle, Feo/Fehu:


The fairies look like they are having what some neighborhoods call a block party. Weatherstone describes this Ten of Cups as representing heartfelt love of all kinds. What could be more fulfilling than knowing you have someone to love and care for and that you in turn are surrounded by love? The rune Feo/Fehu is generally translated as 'livestock' or 'gold.' While it might seem an auspicious rune, it comes with a warning:
Money is the strife among kinsmen
and the fire of the flood-tide
and the path of the serpent.
(Old Icelandic Rune Poem)

Both wealth and the power it brings can be as intoxicating as an unlimited supply of alcohol. But we all know what it's like to deal with a drunk person, regardless of what's got them intoxicated. There's a reason clubs hire bouncers. Blessings of any kind are meant to be appreciated and shared, not flaunted and held in a vise grip.

  1. That 'block-party' looks like lots of fun. Like a dinner pitch-in. Shared resources and enjoy the gathering.
