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."

Choice and Principles

From the Druidcraft Tarot, the Lovers; from the Druid Plant Oracle, Bramble:

There are three constants in life… Change, Choice, and Principles.
– Stephen Covey

The companion book states that the embrace of love is at the heart of life.  Though this card could represent two willing partners, the Lovers might also symbolize integrating information and understanding within ourselves so that we become more whole. However it shows up, such love requires surrender, and surrender requires choice. While emotion might have us rolling downhill at breakneck speed, it would be wise to grab hold of discernment before we hit bottom. Bramble (what I know as blackberry vines) have sweet fruit that can easily make us forget its many thorns. It teaches us of boundaries, of understanding that even the most wonderful relationships need limits to protect our well-being and build respect between people. We can use good judgment without being judgmental.
