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."

Thirst for Knowledge

From the Light Seer's Tarot, the Page of Swords; from the Tapestry Oracle, Edge:


This Page is known for her thirst for knowledge and (like the other Pages) her curiosity. She loves to meet new people to see what they know so she can add to her extensive mental library. Once she gathers new concepts and ideas, she's like a machine gun, firing away with facts and information. Yet the light bulb balloons that have her walking on her toes offer a caution about being grounded. As the Edge card suggests, there is a difference between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge lets us watch while wisdom lives in the middle of it. It's one thing to talk about racism, but quite another to live as a person of color. There's a difference between knowing facts about the homeless and another to be involved in searching for resources such as shelter and mental health help for them. As this Page matures, she'll figure it out. Then she'll likely be saying things like, "Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in the fruit salad."

    Better than ignorance (which isn't bliss in my book). :)
