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."

Found Out

From the Touchstone Tarot, the Six of Coins; from the Waterhouse Oracle, Psyche Entering Cupid's Garden:

Your behavior reflects your actual purposes.
― Ronald Heifetz

The Six of Coins is about sharing our resources, whether that involves our money, time, energy or skills. Yet our idea of "doing good" may glide over the commitment it requires. For instance, if we adopt a dog from the local shelter, it will need more than food and water to thrive. Giving, in all its guises, should be tied to the heart rather than a way to look good or feel good about ourselves. The story of Psyche and Eros is a tale of great love and a vow not kept. Psyche found out just how hard it is to win back the trust of those to whom promises were made and broken. Commitment is a value, and as Carly Fiorina said, "values are what guide your behavior when no one is looking and you don’t think anyone will ever find out."
