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."

What Isn't Ours

From the Prisma Visions Tarot, the Seven of Swords; from the Secret Language of Color Cards, Coral:

Some people steal to stay alive, and some steal to feel alive. Simple as that.
― V.E. Schwab

When is it okay to steal what isn't ours to take? If someone has more than us, are we entitled to take some of theirs? There is a growing problem with people stealing and selling intellectual property these days (creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, etc.), made easier via the internet. I've unintentionally bought a tarot deck from Etsy and an oracle deck from Amazon that were pirated. But the big companies do little more than offer a refund, which seems a heartless response to the artists and writers. Simply because someone's work is popular and well-known doesn't mean they're rich; they are likely just trying to make a living like the rest of us. Coral suggests we allow for flow and synchronicity in our lives. Yet if we are too busy being envious of what others have, we'll never notice the openings and opportunities that float past us. When we are grateful for what we do have, we can more easily spot our resources as well.
