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."

Creative Generosity

From the Lilifer Tarot, the Queen of Wands; from the Wandering Soul Oracle, Divine Language:

Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.
–Maya Angelou

Unlike her husband, whose flame of enthusiasm can be glaring and overwhelming at times, the Queen of Wands keeps hers at a warm glow. She doesn't want to tell you what to do with your passion; she'd rather encourage through nurturing your creative side. She doesn't mind offering some ideas, but her goal is to be your cheerleader rather than your manager. The Divine Language card shows a drawing of the golden ratio, a proportion based on the patterns of nature that has been used by artists and designers for centuries. This mathematical ratio of 1:1.618 has a decimal that stretches to infinity. In these days of piracy and plagiarism, it may feel like we need to jealously guard our ideas and share them with no one. But as Maya Angelou reminds us, “You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”
