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."

Heart Work

From the Wild Unknown Tarot, the Eight of Pentacles; from the Pictish Oracle, Broken Sword/Tuning Fork:


The spider is a masterful web builder, knowing exactly how to construct a framework of threads to support her web. Like those who are highly skilled in their career or craftwork, she moves intuitively as she creates. Yet the Pictish Oracle's Broken Sword (or possibly a Tuning Fork) suggests that for all we've accomplished, something has gone wrong. Has our work become like trudging on a treadmill, simply churning out what is expected? Perhaps what is broken is a sense of purpose and joy in what we do. If so, it's time to listen to our heart and not just our head.
