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."

Worth a Fight?

From the Norse Tarot, the Five of Swords; from the Wolf Pack, Prayer:


With homes burning in the background and menacing sword-wielders up front, this appears to be a very confrontational card. Way more than an argument, this encounter seems designed to intimidate and overpower. Is this a battle that needs to be fought, something worth standing up for? Or is ruffled feather resistance based on self-importance or arrogance? Prayer suggests connecting to something greater than my ego, an attempt to grasp and understand a wider perspective that includes the well-being of all. From that viewpoint, what I need to do will become much clearer. 

...it all boiled down to a fundamental difference in the way we perceived life, the context within which we defined ourselves and our world.
―Azar Nafisi
