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."

Minus My Opinion

From the Nigel Jackson Tarot, the Nine of Coins; from the Viking Lenormand, Clover:

There is such simplicity in Jackson's Nine of Coins: a home that shelters, food enough to fill the belly, clean clothes to wear, and a companion to keep company with. There can be comfort found in 'enough' rather than a constant searching for 'more.' This fellow seems content with what his hard work has produced, which is an attitude many know nothing about. If his circumstances change, his modest life will serve him well in adapting. Andy Boroveshengra writes in his book on Lenormand that joy is the essence of the Clover card. I've been reading a book of talks given by Charlotte Joko Beck, and what she said about joy really resonated with me: "Happiness is the 'up-up-up.' Joy is the peace in what is. Joy is what's going on, minus our opinion about it."

    ahh, to be content. To live in the moment and joyful to be.

      The moment is likely the only place to find contentment.
