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."

Interests that Stick

From the Spacious Tarot, the Guardian (Queen) of Wands; from the Phenomena Oracle, Blizzard:

You can't really predict with certainty what will capture your attention and what won't... Without experimenting, you can't figure out which interests will stick, and which won't.
― Angela Duckworth

The Queens are devoted nurturers, especially when it comes to their suit. The Guardian of Wands believes everyone should have an interest, a hobby or a cause - something that brings them joy and fulfillment. She loves to expand people's exposure to new ideas, places, and things to do in hopes that it will widen their possibilities for developing a passion. Yet Blizzard's card shows a white-out, when both visibility and mobility are stymied. It can be tempting to push what we are fervently interested in onto people close to us. But kids may care less about the sports their parents are nuts about, and a friend may prefer painting to a book club. What stokes our passion can be our own; we don't need to force anyone else into its flames to still enjoy it.
