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."

Light It Up

From the Gaian Tarot, the Two of Fire (Wands); from the Goddess Oracle, Amaterasu:


Two fire dancers move towards each other with a passion as hot as their torches. Finding something that ignites our fiery fervor can kick us out of our apathy or complacency. Such passion is linked to its Latin roots which suggest having to endure something. That restless feeling pushes us to want more than the status quo and can give us the courage to move forward. Amaterasu Omi Kami is a Shinto Sun goddess who withdrew to a cave when she was insulted by her crude brother (the storm god). But when her curiosity was piqued by the entertainment of Uzume, she came out of hiding. Amaterasu encourages us to follow our curiosity - an ember that can light our passion and bring us out of our dimly lit caves.
