From the Slavic Legends Tarot, the King of Cups; from the Urban Crow Oracle, Insight:
The first thing I notice about this King is that he is completely surrounded by cattails (Typha). These water-lovers do have their uses, including being a tool for phytoremediation, the use of plants to remove and control environmental pollutants. Cattails have been useful in absorbing arsenic, pharmaceuticals, and even chemicals from explosives. This card suggests a compassionate, objective listener can be useful in helping us to recognize and remove what harms us. The Insight card - showing a crow raising the water level with stones to get a shrimp - adds to this information. We must not only grasp the message, we understand the relationship among the parts that make up the whole. We can know that our obsessive thinking is causing us emotional turmoil, but it is making an effort to change those thoughts than can make a difference.
If you want to make your own internal experience more hospitable, only you can do that work. Others can always support and guide you and spark insights, but ultimately you are your own boss and the agent of understanding your mind and opening your heart. —Ethan Nichtern
