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."

Guarding with Boundaries

From the Tarot of the Crone, the Eight of Disks; from the Transforming Dragons deck, Nervoc:

I know what is mine.
I guard and keep it.
~E.L-P.

This particular Eight of Disks makes me think of the phrase 'happy place.' Most of us have a place that can create a feeling of solitude and peace, allowing us to take a deep relaxed breath. It encourages our creative muse to come out of hiding and offers it a safe space to express itself, no matter what form of skill it takes. Nervoc is the dragon of thoughtlessness and carelessness who speaks and acts without any self-discipline. If we can't explain the idea of personal space and courtesy to such folks in a way they can grasp, firm boundaries are the next logical step. Explanations may pour in one ear and out the other, but experiencing the results of their imprudence might help them understand. 
Everyone needs a happy place.

    Comfort and security comes in many packages. The simplest are usually the best. Your kitty knows she is safe and loved in her home with you.
