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."

Trumpets and Mountains

From the Tyldwick Tarot, Judgment; from the Antiquarian Lenormand, the Mountain:

What more will it take for you to realize that waking up is the very thing that will actually keep you alive, not to mention, sane? ―Ora Nadrich

On a table sits an altar that resembles the nook of a cathedral for statues. In it, a figure of Gabriel blows his horn to awaken those sleeping. If we believe the divine kingdom lies within, we will understand this as an inner awakening. But the two jack-in-the-boxes on either side of the altar indicate that what usually wakes up most humans is an unwanted and unexpected shock. While this may seem like a huge obstacle or challenge (the Lenormand Mountain), it can have the effect of dismantling frivolous concerns so that we can see clearly what is important and of value.
