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."

Begin Again

From the Ferret Tarot, the Moon; from the Nature's Wisdom Oracle, Spider:


This ferret looks a little unnerved by the shadowy presence watching her. Moertl's phrase for the Moon is 'trust your instincts' - in other words, respond with action that will ensure survival. Instinct is visceral, an embodied feeling that is hard to override. Intuition, which is based on past experiences, allows us to see patterns quickly without conscious thought. Both of these (one a response and the other an instant evaluation) can be helpful in keeping us safe, physically and otherwise. Spider, who must constantly fix or remake her web, suggests that such situations can help us become resilient. When we are flexible and adaptable, willing to add to our knowledge base, it's much easier to begin again. 

Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.
― Terry Pratchett
