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."

War and Peace

From the RainShadow Tarot, the King of Cups; from the Liminal Spirits Oracle, Environment:

"How come we play war and not peace?"
"Too few role models."
― Bill Watterson

The King of Cups is so at peace with himself and others that even the creatures of the natural world don't fear him. He has learned how to use the tools of gratitude, self-reflection and mindfulness; these practices help him acknowledge, accept and let of his distress in order to respond appropriately to each moment. Modeling empathy and emotional stability, he is like a lighthouse to those who desperately need a role model. Environment asks us to look at the people, places and things around us and ask ourselves if they help or hinder our well-being. Are we thriving or simply surviving? Even if we have a stressful job, have we created a sacred space of our home and a refuge in our mind?
