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."

All Shapes and Sizes

From the Tyldwick Tarot, the Lovers; from the Antiquarian Lenormand, the Key:


The painting in the Tyldwick card is based on a sculpture of Diana that originally topped a fountain. It is interesting that the bust on the mantel below it is that of Hermes. Diana/Artemis remained a virgin goddess, though she did have platonic companions like Orion. Hermes, however, had many lovers - both male and female, mortal and divine. This Lovers card emphasizes just how different love can be in all its guises. The Key implies that if we make the effort, what we desire is in reach. Do we want a fun fling, a deep friendship, or a relationship based on a commitment? What we are willing to invest (and how we define a relationship) is likely to forge what we find.
