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."

It's Messy

From the Wild Unknown Tarot, the Wheel of Change; from the Pictish Oracle, the Snake:

This Wheel of Fortune made me smile, because it is just as messy as real life. Rarely are things crystal clear; we think we're making progress only to find we're headed in the wrong direction. Yet there is change for the better too, which allows us an optimistic view of the sunny side of things. The Snake in Celtic lore had a mixed message. On one hand it instilled fear with its ability to strike quickly. Yet the ability to shed its skin also offered the alternative meaning of healing. Basically, the snake was seen as a symbol of unpredictability (just like our journey on this planet). 

Often the most unexpected, unpredictable moments in life are the ones that leave the biggest impression and that teach us to roll with the punches. ~Natalya Neidhart

    I too like that depiction of The Wheel, all messy and tangled, just like our lives. Keeps things interesting.
