The Two in the Bush

From the Shadowscapes Tarot, the Two of Wands; from the Cedar Runes, Tiwaz:

I can almost hear this woman discussing a possible new direction with her feline companions: "Is this going to be worth all the trouble? Is the cost going to be greater than the result?" Such is the nature of the Two of Wands - deciding whether to stick with the bird in the hand or go after the two in the bush. Sometimes we just don't know until we get knee-deep in it. Tiwaz means "to shine" and is related to Tyr, the Norse god of law and justice. In an attempt to save his people, he lost his hand to a giant wolf. The proverb "fortune favors the bold" might apply to these draws today. Yet our bravery and enthusiasm should not cloud the fact that a sacrifice of some kind will likely be required of us.
