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."

Prudent Humility

From the Rohrig Tarot, the Eight of Disks; from the Master Tarot, Knock:


The Eight of Disks is a reminder that growing or expanding anything needs time and consideration, patience and prudence. We need a clear awareness of what is necessary and what is superfluous; we need to be aware of the details without losing sight of the big picture. When we're nervous or excited, it's hard to be the tortoise and not the hare, but that's what this card encourages. The Knock card refers to the verse in Matthew 7:7-8. Does this mean if we just show up and ask that we'll get whatever we want? I don't think so, but it does imply we may get some support and assistance if we are open and honest. 

...but at some point when things are really dicey, your stubbornness gives way to a certain form of humility that, after you get over yourself, feels liberating. 
― Dee Williams

  1. That Eight seems to burn away the chaff and get down to what really counts.

  2. shows we were brave enough to want to open the door and at least see. Fear of the door voids many opportunities.
