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."

Quality not Quickness

This week I'll be using the Hezicos Tarot, created and self-published by Mary Griffin. Along with it I'll be using the Way of the Horse, an oracle deck and book set created by Linda Kohanov with Kim McElroy and published by New World Library. The two cards drawn for today are the Seven of Cups and Sky of Mind:

The quality of your life is built on the quality of your decisions.
–Wesam Fawz

When we are spoiled for choice, it's easy to choose what we think we'll bring us the quickest satisfaction with the smallest of effort. Or if prone to fantasy, we may build grand expectations of one choice on assumptions with no concrete basis. Griffin suggests patience is needed as well as common sense in making any big decision. Sky of Mind encourages us to be a master of our own mind, allowing emotions and thoughts to come and go like clouds in the sky without attaching to any of them. Rather than focusing on what we believe our life should look like, we see it realistically, allowing discernment to guide us. There is room for possibilities if we don't demand specifics. Instead of being influenced by our grasping or clinging, we can consider Roy Disney's advice: "Decision making is easy when your values are clear."
