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."

It Probably Exists

From the Dark Mansion Tarot, the Queen of Pentacles; from Miss Mai's Victorian Oracle, the Coffin:

Resourceful people know that even though a solution may not be immediately obvious, it probably exists.
― Anthony Iannarino

While the Empress and Queen of Pentacles might seem to be a lot alike, the Coffin indicates how they are different. It's easy to swim in abundance and be generous when material things are plentiful, but what happens when that well runs dry? Here the Queen shines in her resourcefulness, making do with what she has, being a careful spender and knowing how to create or find what is needed. While she works to deal skillfully with each difficult situation that arises, the emotional Empress would likely just pitch a fit until what she wanted arrived on a platter. So this Queen encourages us to be open-minded, willing to learn, and a practical optimist. She would hint that a gratitude list would give us a great place to start when we need to remember the resources we have available.

  1. Is it just me or do most of the individual characters in this deck look left?

    1. A few look to the right and quite a few look straight ahead.
