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."

Awe and Gratitude

From the Prairie Tarot, the Ten of Cups; from the Medicine Cards, Squirrel:


A family looks out in awe and gratitude - not at a million dollar house and a couple of BMWs that they take photos of with their new iPhone - but at the beautiful, natural landscape. As Marcus Aurelius stated, "Remember this, that very little is needed to make a happy life." It's not the material stuff that brings us emotional fulfillment. Contentment is found when our basic needs are met and we choose to live in the moment with appreciation. Squirrel's message about 'gathering' fits well with this card: "You have gathered nuts by the score, exactly predicting if you'll need more. Teach me to take no more than I need." There are more beneficial things to feel the hollowness within us than what we can buy.
