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."

Good Intentions?

This week I'll be using Lo Scarabeo's Tarot of Pagan Cats (mini) with booklet by Barbara Moore and art by Lola Airaghi. Paired with it will be Brownie Wisdom, the smaller deck included with The Brownies Oracle created and self-published by Doug Thornsjo. Today's draws are the King of Swords and Hands and Hearts:


The King of Swords is a decision maker and judge; his sword points downward to suggest that he deals with concrete facts and figures. He's not very tolerant of spin doctors who just want to present a small view of the whole. The Brownie card suggests that the courage to take action is what creates beneficial change and progress, not visions of grandeur or positive intentions. Both of these fellows would likely agree with Aldous Huxley: "Hell isn't merely paved with good intentions; it's walled and roofed with them. Yes, and furnished too."
