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."

Like the Sky

From the Wild Unknown Tarot, the Ace of Swords; from the Pictish Oracle, Ogham:

The Ace of Swords can represent a creative inspiration or insight. Particularly when we have a problem to solve or a project to start, it can seem like there's nothing left in our dusty mental bins to choose from. Yet the colorful ouroboros suggests otherwise - we can't use up either one. But to receive them, we need to be as open as the night sky that produces those bolts of lightning. Insights and inspirations won't squeeze themselves into pre-made boxes. Ogham is an ancient British and Irish alphabet, formed by parallel strokes on either side of or across a continuous line. This tile suggests communication, but perhaps of a type that isn't ordinary (such as symbols, music, nature, or art). Yet even the ordinary has the potential awaken us if we see it through fresh rather than dull eyes.
