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."

Competitive or Collaborative?

From the Tarot of the Sidhe, Maker Six (Six of Pentacles); from the Green Man Tree Oracle, Aspen:


The Six of Pentacles offers a chance to practice generosity, creating more of a balance in resources so that no one lacks basic needs. Yet we can corrupt any generous offering by labeling others as worthy or unworthy of our gift, or by making a spectacle of our giving in order to look good in the eyes of others. We might find at some point, however, that we are the ones in need. Would we want to be treated as we have done? Aspens grow in large colonies that are derived from one seed but spread by roots. Each individual tree can live for 40–150 years above ground, but the root system of the colony is long-lived. It suggests that we are stronger when we support each other, and asks: "Is your mindset competitive or collaborative?"
