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 Breaks Me

From the Animal Totem Tarot, the Devil (Bobcat); from the Blum/Gern Rune Cards, Ehwaz:

It's time to break the patterns that break me.
―Rohini Vibha

Rather than a card of bondage, this Devil is about freeing ourselves from what traps us. Blame will not be useful in liberating ourselves; only self-awareness and an effort to transform our habitual thoughts and actions will give us the freedom we seek.  As Robertson says, "Especially the ones you don't want to look at and own." The Rune Ehwaz is generally translated as 'horse' and suggests movement. While we might decide to start a new spiritual path, see a therapist or read a stack of self-help books, it is the movement of practicing daily what we learn that will create change.
