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."

Only True Possession

From the Wheel of Change Tarot, the Six of Cups; from the Oracle of the Dreamtime, Ochre:

Rather than fond memories of the past, Genetti's Six of Cups shows broken pottery in a thunderstorm. Some of us had enjoyable childhoods, while the rest of us simply tried to survive them. It's easy to want to blame the past for the way we behave in the present, but the truth is we have a choice to live our lives differently. Any pain and suffering we endured can energize us to step out of old cycles and create new memories. Ochre tells the story of a dingo pup cared for by the tribe who would later save the people from a deadly, giant lizard. The blood shed by the lizard produced red ochre, a symbol of life and bravery. We'll all leave our hand print somewhere in history one day. As the fifth Remembrance states: "My only true possession is my actions."
