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."

Dust Them Off

From the Gaian Tarot, the Magician; from the Goddess Oracle, Sophia:


This Magician would never let his djembe collect dust; it is a tool he uses to create the music that fills him with joy. Yet it is easy to forget the tools and resources we have (especially if we're busy comparing ourselves to others). We have our passion, our relationships, our mind, and material possessions (including our body) to work with. Why not make something joyful with them? Sophia is the personification of holy wisdom. She is more than common sense and strategic planning; she understands what is beneficial. As Ajahn Brahm described, "wisdom is warm and full of humor." Manifesting our own joy need not subtract from another's.

Great wisdom is generous; petty wisdom is contentious.
― Zhuangzi
