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."

Check in the Mirror

From the Rohrig Tarot, the Prince (Knight) of Swords; from the Master Tarot, Straw and Beam:


A well-educated fellow, the Prince of Swords has a never-ending supply of ideas and plans. He gets bored rather quickly, so he's likely to pawn off many of those plans on his cousin, the Knight of Pentacles. Like many intelligent people, he enjoys crossing swords, arguing and debating with others. Lacking in emotional sensitivity, he can easily determine and poke at people's sore spots. The Straw and Beam card offers a warning: before we point out another's shortcomings, we'd do better to look at our own.

I have learned that the hardest part of campaigning for tolerance and justice is encouraging people to look at their own selves, to examine their own identity and shortcomings. ~Roger Ross Williams

  1. Some days you don't have to go farther than look in the mirror, to find the problem.
