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."

What We Plant

From the Sasuraibito Tarot, the Seven of Swords; from the SoulCards, Teaching:

Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.
~André Malraux

This intense young lady reminds me of Keri Russell in the spy TV series, The Americans. Is she stealing secrets, ideas or plans?  While there may be an extraordinary circumstance that requires subterfuge to stay safe from those who would do us harm, deception generally only creates more problems. It can easily become a fixed pattern of behavior, resulting in us resembling Malraux's words above. The Teaching card shows a man attempting to explain how the seeds we plant today become the meadow of our life in the future. Acts motivated by greed, hatred or delusion sow a field of suffering; those generated by generosity, kindness or wisdom create gardens of joy. Check the label on those seed packets.
