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."

Creative Expresssion

From the New Era Elements Tarot, the Magus; from the Tao Oracle, Hexagram 19:


He's dressed for success, has lots of facts, figures and pamphlets, and is well like on social media. But is he just a spin doctor in a nice suit, or does he have integrity in his work? Pieper's Magus is a reminder that we all have resources that we use to create and craft a life. But do we act only for our own benefit without a thought of how it affects anyone or anything else? Are we doing what's 'right' only when someone is watching? Our motives will bear fruit later; repeated thoughts and actions will become habitual. Yet Approach - Hexagram 19 - shows an opportunity for positive change, for growing and expanding in wholesome, constructive ways. It just requires checking our intentions before moving forward to see if we're living from an old pattern or doing something new and beneficial.

It is as though we are all artists, but instead of canvas and paint, or marble or music, as our medium, our very bodies, minds, and life experience are the materials of our creative expression.
—Joseph Goldstein

  1. Are we doing what is right or what is easy? We know and if we know others will too.
