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."

Awareness, Effort and Intention

From the Songs for the Journey Home, Wave Creating (Queen of Cups); from the Magic Neko deck, Training:


If we're fortunate, we'll find at least one person who will listen to us deeply, ask questions, and give us honest but gentle feedback. This is the Queen of Cups specialty - providing a safe container to pour out our feelings into. Training suggests intention, yet we often train our mind, body and spirit with repeated thoughts and actions that we aren't aware of. However those repetitions form patterns which then form habits that can make us feel stuck. But we can learn to pause and bring our attention to our thoughts during the day and decide to to turn them in a more positive, beneficial direction. The same applies to our actions; we can ask if this will be helpful or harmful in the long run. I'm sure the Queen of Cups would tell us that we can change if we train with awareness, effort and intention.
