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."

Seeing Clearly

From the Druidcraft Tarot, the Sun; from the Druid Animal Oracle, the Fire Dragon:

No man can think clearly when his fists are clenched.
―George Jean Nathan

Although I've seen this card multiple times, I don't think I've ever noticed that this little boy is standing in the stirrups, getting an even higher perspective. The horse is a symbol of freedom; when we are no longer desperately grasping at what we want, fighting off what we don't, or clinging to what we think will leave us, we see reality clearly. When our energy is no longer wastefully expended, we relax and are filled with a joyous vigor and vitality. We can deal with what is. The Fire Dragon represents the energy of transmutation, the state of changing a condition or form to another. When we can see clearly, we can make changes that create better circumstances rather than adding to the confusion and chaos.
