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."

Running with Turtles

From the Gaian Tarot, the Nine of Fire (Wands); from the Goddess Oracle, Changing Woman:


When we're in the middle of a long haul situation, we don't need our energy to blaze but to burn as glowing coals. That kind of inner fire can keep us going without causing us to lose our clarity or equanimity. Rather than indifference, it permits us to stay attentive to what is happening without allowing our thoughts to intensify and magnify it. Changing Woman, also known as Estsanatlehi by the Navajo people, passes through an endless course of lives. Much like the seasons, she grows to be an old woman, and in the course of time, becomes a young woman again. She symbolizes cycles, yet also reminds us that no cycle is the same as before (just as one season doesn't exactly replicate another). No matter what we presently experience, it will change. And though that change may look familiar, our perspective, thoughts and actions can make it a very different experience altogether. 

I don’t mind running with turtles.
