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."

Caught Up

From the Ellis Deck, the Five of Pentacles; from the Brownies Oracle, Temptation:


This particular Five of Pentacles feels like the reverse of the Six of Wands - more like a walk of shame than a celebration. It brings to mind the snake oil medicine sold to guarantee a return to health, Ponzi schemes that are supposed to make you rich, and the myriad other ways unscrupulous people attempt to con others out of their money. The Brownies card - Temptation - explains why both sides get screwed. People always look for an easier way to health or making money, and the ones taking in the cash are mindlessly driven by greed.

People get really caught up in their own trips.
