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."

You Have the Tools

From the Restored Order Tarot, the Magician; from the Oracle of Kabbalah, Tet:


There are times where you have all the tools you need and all there is to do is to do it.
― Nnedi Okorafor

The Magician points upwards (inspiration and imagination) and downwards (the physical manifestation). Although his mind is full of ideas, his body is the conduit and agent of creation. Those tools on his table are the resources he needs; when combined with effort, he has the ability to bring an abstract idea to fruition. The Hebrew letter Tet is associated with the number nine, a symbol of goodness. Its shape suggests a pot or a bowl with an inverted rim. Tet's message is even when life is difficult, there is still hidden good. Our creations and projects don't always turn out as expected. We might want to keep in mind these words of an anonymous writer: "It is when our plans go 'wrong' that wonderful, unforeseen things are allowed to occur."
