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."

Power of the Mindset

From the Tarot Lukumi, the Fool; from the Diloggun Oracle, Obara (six mouths):

The Fool is represented by the Orisha Eleggua, depicted as either a child or an old man. He represents the beginning and end of life, and the opening and closing of paths in life. In this card, he appears as an elder about to step off the cliff that will transform him. He seems to ask if we're ready to let go of any old, rigid ideas and embrace a fresh outlook and attitude. Getting out of our comfort zone always feels risky; it will take some courage. Obara (six mouths) parallels this card:

Ifa: One must be uplifted from poverty-stricken acceptance and state of mind. There is no virtue in being in poverty. Be industrious and accomplish your desires.
Proverb: Do not let what you cannot do tear from your hands what you can.

A mindset can power us up or shut us down. We either see potential and possibilities or none at all.
