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."

Worthy Summit

From the Tarot of Durer, the Six of Coins; from the Philosopher's Stone deck, Apogee:


Rather than being about sharing resources, the Durer booklet suggests this cards is about wasting resources. Here the falcon we saw on the Ten of Coins now drops money over the countryside. Yes, we all spend money impulsively at times, but there is another side to that coin. I am reminded of two quotes, the first by Bertrand Russell: "The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time;" the second by Aesop: "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." Apogee signifies a high point of our life or a masterpiece. Genuine kindness and fun are never wasted and can make a difference in me. I can develop compassion for the suffering of others and realize that life is more than a daily trudge. An open heart is truly a summit to achieve.
