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."

Keep Looking

From the Tarot of the Crone, the Witch of Cups (Knight); from the Transforming Dragons deck, Lorkoc:

If you don’t think it’s nearly impossible to change someone who is not willing to change, just think how hard it is to change yourself, and you are willing.
― Charles F. Glassman

The Witch court cards show a more focused use of power concerned with self-expression and self-fulfillment. Lorenzi-Prince refers to the Witch of Cups as a siren, one who lures others through their desire for love, beauty and kindness. She wants a companion in this dance, one who will relate to life as she does with warmth, gentleness and grace. Lorkoc - a symbol of defiance - shows just what a tall order this can be. His enjoyment involves provoking and insulting others; he will disagree just for the fun of it. Those who thought they might smooth his rough edges quickly realized that he doesn't change for anyone. Keep looking Witch, and don't even pause for this one a second glance.
