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."

A Day of Possibilities

From the Tarot of the Crone, the Fool; from the Transforming Dragons deck, Suboc:

A mere spark of awareness
But that is enough
That is where you begin
~E.L-P.

Like the Fool, each morning we wake up to a brand new day. The day ahead has endless potential and possibilities; it can be filled with delight and joy or resentment and irritation. The energy of the spark will follow wherever the mind directs it - conscious awareness can create our experience. Suboc is dragon who enjoys sabotaging the mood and dreams of all around him. He'll try to convince you that the Sun card you pulled is really the headlamp of an oncoming train about to flatten you. He's unhappy, and it gives him a little thrill to dump on anyone he perceives as content. But his gift of misery is a box we don't have to accept and open. Perhaps one day the seed of his own heart will crack open, allowing beauty to bloom. Until then, give him a wave and keep walking.
