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."

Get Rolling

From the Tarot of the Cat People, the Two of Wands; from the Insectorum Divinorum, the Scarab:


The gateway made by the rods this man holds and the priceless expression on the feline's face make me chuckle. Present a cat with a closed door and she will meow or scratch on it until its opened. But once opened, the cat will likely just sit there as if to say, "I just wanted the option." I think it must be the same with humans too. The Scarab is a type of dung beetle that collects dung into balls, then rolls them to an underground chamber to eat (or if its female, to leave for newly hatched larva to enjoy). The Egyptians connected its behavior to the early morning manifestation of the sun god Ra. Its message is that the sun will eventually set on our opportunity; if we do want to take advantage of it, we need to get rolling.
