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."

Natural Reflex

From the Wild Unknown Tarot, the Six of Pentacles; from the Pictish Oracle, the Arch:

In gardening, there are 'cut and come again' flowers like zinnias and dahlias. Cutting blooms stimulates the growth of new stems, rewarding the gardener with a bountiful harvest. When we share our resources, we make space for more. It's a balance that prevents stagnation on one end and scarcity on the other. But as the Arch suggests, attitude is important. The Arch was likely a torc (neck ring) that denoted status. If both the giver and receiver are considered equal, there is compassion and kindness exchanged too, rather than expectation.  

Nobody is forcing us to do something; we spontaneously do what needs to be done. This one treasure is found within ourselves.
