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."

A Clearing

From the Anna K Tarot, the Emperor; from the Meditation Cards, "Self-reflection:"

The Emperor is described as being devoted to "stability, structure, and discipline." Is it any wonder that his mind is filled with strategy, plans and laws? He's good at organizing, securing and protecting, but his focus often forgets that there are humans with feelings involved in all of it. While some hard decisions might require emotional detachment, it's easy to get stuck defining "what's best" exclusively with personal viewpoints. The Self-reflection card suggests a way to get out of this rut:

Take away your opinion, then what? What is left? That is the point. Take away your opinion—your condition, situation—then your mind is clear like space.
—Zen Master Seung Sahn
