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."

Hard Knock Learning

From the Lilifer Tarot, the Page of Wands; from the Wandering Soul Oracle, Protection:

I realized how fragile we are as humans. There was a time I thought we were bulletproof...
~Joe Perry (Aerosmith)

The Page of Wands learns through exploration, yet he also seeks excitement (just look at the sparks coming off the bottom of his wand as he walks). He'll always gravitate toward whatever is thrilling or dangerous; he'd prefer learning photography in a war zone rather than a meadow of wildflowers. Because he feels invincible, it usually always requires life's hard knocks for him to gain wisdom. The hamsa symbol of Protected seems to imply that there's an amulet or power that can keep one from harm. Common sense, listening to the insights of others, and prudent choices would likely be better options.
