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."

Stolen Property

From the Victorian Romantic Tarot, the Seven of Swords; from the Dreaming in Color Deck, Chaos:


The backwards glance on this man's face can be easily read: "Have I been found out?" Yet we may take something more costly than anything material. Secrets told in confidence, snippets of gossip, an act observed without knowing the context - these can all be stolen goods when we share them with another. Chaos implies that some of us enjoy stirring the pot simply because we love the turbulent excitement and drama it brings. Thoughts of how the fallout might hurt others never occur. But every choice and action has a consequence - that we can't run away from.

No one gossips about other people’s secret virtues. 
~Bertrand Russell
