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."

Good Advice

From the Neuzeit Tarot, the Queen of Pentacles; from Rory's Story Cubes, Whip:


The Queen of Pentacles uses material things to nurture others and keep her realm running smoothly. Yet she is quite aware that resources managed unwisely will dry up quickly, so she's learned to be resourceful rather than wasteful. She's an adherent to the adage "Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without" when it comes to her own life. Yet the cracking Whip die suggests she might want to snap out of the depression era mentality just a tad. Often we generously give to others while thinking it would be wasteful to splurge on ourselves even occasionally. Yet Theodore Isaac Rubin has some good advice: "Treat yourself at least as well as you treat other people."

    I need to reconnect with my own Queen of Pents. She seems to be lost to me.

      She's good for grounding activities, from making some soup to taking a walk in the neighborhood. :)
