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."

Intentional Gardening

From the Ferret Tarot, the Sun; from the Nature's Wisdom Oracle, Artichoke:

Every morning, the rising Sun invites and inspires us to begin again.
–Debasish Mridha

My husband calls our cat 'sundial' because all day long she moves from room to room looking for a spot of sunshine pouring through the windows to nap in. As it turns out, cats' body temperature takes a dive when they sleep; the sunlight helps them maintain a comfortable degree of warmth. Artichoke is actually the flower bud of a type of thistle that is said to hold one of the highest amounts of antioxidants in vegetables. It requires a bit of work to eat, which is why its message is a challenge to see value in wherever we find ourselves. Together with the Sun, it perhaps suggests that taking care of our own well-being requires some effort that will prove fruitful.

Our bodies are our gardens – our wills are our gardeners.
–William Shakespeare
