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."

Nowhere But Here

From the Rohrig Tarot, the Four of Disks; from the Master Tarot/Oracle, Here and Now:

A truly stable system expects the unexpected, is prepared to be disrupted, waits to be transformed.
― Tom Robbins

The Four of Disks is titled Power in the Thoth system, implying success, comfort and stability. It's a nice place to be if a person can enjoy it without an exaggerated need for security or a demand that things never change. In Buddhism, the psychological God Realm is a place of where bliss and happiness are experienced for a period of time. But because we are so attached to our luxuries and pleasures and bristle at anything that might disturb them, we usually don't stay in this mindset for long. Here and Now suggests we drop the memories and expectations we cling to and plant ourselves firmly in the present moment. Joy can't be found anywhere else but here.
