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."

Long-term Sustenance

From the Slavic Legends Tarot, the Ten of Cups; from the Urban Crow Oracle, Caching:


Since there isn't a guide booklet to inform users about the characters in this deck, I decided to just imagine this as the story of Danu, the Irish earth-mother goddess. Bile, the god of light and healing - often represented as a great sacred oak - was fed and nurtured by Danu. Both god and goddess needed each other to produce Daghdha. Such nurturing and care is what produces the contentment and happiness of the Ten of Cups. Yet Caching (storing for future use) suggests that we remember that our relationships will need continual feeding in order to be sustained. Such support gives each person the support and confidence to continue to grow and develop in each stage of the life cycle.
