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."

Facts and Fiction

From the Legacy of the Divine Tarot, the Hanging Man; from the Tea Leaf Reading Cards, Dragon:

We all find ourselves in the limbo of uncertainty at some point, unable to fast forward to a better time or place and powerless to change the current circumstances. Crouched in a hallway waiting for the hurricane to pass, trying to find a lost pet, checking messages for a biopsy result - these are the moments when it can feel impossible to wait patiently. Yet practicing patience (recognize, reframe, remember the big picture) is a way to bring gentleness and tenderness to our spirit when we most need it. Dragon is a mythical creature and as such represents fiction and fantasy. Our experiences are made up of a fraction of what is actually happening and a majority of how the autopilot function of the brain interprets them. Our mind will generally weave stories of the worst case scenario, but if we can simply be with what is happening in the moment we can work with more facts than fiction.
