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."

Towards the Goal

From the Rohrig Tarot, the Chariot; from the Master Tarot/Oracle, Two Horses:

In racing, they say that your car goes where your eyes go.
– Garth Stein

After he has been influenced and shaped by those he's met so far, the Fool gets behind the driver's seat and begins assert himself in the world. He's a bit like a kid who's just received his driving license, feeling excited with an undercurrent of trepidation. He hears in his head the voices that tell him not to get distracted or a wreck will be inevitable. But he soon learns it's not just the outer disturbances that can make him lose his focus, but the inner ones as well. His urge for freedom and his ambition encourage him to move, but move mindfully. The Two Horse card refers to the 47th verse in the Gospel of Thomas: "It is impossible for a man to mount two horses or to stretch two bows." The Chariot can't travel down two roads at the same time; there is a point where a choice must be made. Which one is simply a distraction, and which one will take us towards our goal?
