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."

Not a Battle

From the Greenwood Tarot, the Eight of Stones (Pentacles); from the Rune Cards, Weapon/Yr:


Deep within a cave with painted walls, a person chisels a wheel. Potter suggests this is a large project that requires concentration to complete. The Weapon/Yr rune poem describes the ax-hammer as a dependable tool for warriors. Together, these cards imply that the craftsperson might feel under attack as if they must finish by a certain time. In such cases, they are no longer simply working on a task, they're battling it. That is the perfect mindset for tension, stress and mistakes. It might be better to simply take a breath and be mindful of what they're doing rather than worrying about the finish line. The only war being waged is a figment of the imagination.
