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."

Laws of Nature

From the Wheel of Change Tarot, the Queen of Disks; from the Oracle of the Dreamtime, Sturt's Desert Pea:

Here is a Queen who doesn't spend her days on a throne; she's worked in the fields, prepared food, woven baskets, and gathered herbs to help the sick. She nurtures others by providing them with physical necessities and comforts. Yet through teaching others how to care and provide for themselves, she also helps them to help themselves, just as she was taught. Even when she passes on, her skills won't be lost. Sturt's Desert Pea tells the story of a young woman who ran off with a man from a different tribe though promised to a medicine man in her tribe. The medicine man tracked them down and killed not only them, but the whole tribe. Bright red flowers sprang up where the people died, and the Great Spirit sent a lightning bolt to kill the medicine man. Aware of nature's flow, the Queen of Disks knows that good things can grow, even where there is loss, but those who cause harm will eventually pay a price. 

We don't live in some kind of crazy, accidental universe. Things happen according to certain laws, laws of nature. Laws such as the law of karma, which teaches us that as a certain seed gets planted, so will that fruit be. ―Sharon Salzberg
