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."

Don't Love Me Tender?

From the Rosetta Tarot, the Four of Cups; from the Day of the Dead Lenormand, the Mountain:


The Four of Cups in the Thoth realm represents luxury. Fours denote stability, usually a good thing - unless it's about emotions and relationships. Then we fail to appreciate those around us; after they've been by our side for a while, they no longer are enticing. A friend recently told another woman that she really wanted a steady boyfriend or husband. The other woman smirked and said, "You'll feel differently once you have one!" For some folks, they'd rather trade the devotion and tenderness they have for unpredictability and excitement. The Lenormand Mountain refers to obstacles that prevent us from finding what we seek. In this case, it points toward an addiction to thrills and drama in our relationships. Yet even after we change partners or groups, the problem of not being content and happy will repeat itself over and over. Instead of looking for someone else to supply us with fun and adventure, perhaps we could add some to the relationships we already have.
