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."

A More Colorful Life

From the Tarot of the Sidhe, Temperance; from the Green Man Tree Oracle, Ash:

The aim of ideology is to eliminate ambiguity.
―Margaret Atwood

Temperance is a warning that we could be shifting to extremes in our ideas or actions. This slide is easy to make when we form a tight circle with people who think and behave as we do. Our attitudes seem normal when there is no one different with whom to compare them. As Gustave Le Bon explained, "they are always inclined to exaggerate the worth of their principles, and to push them to their extreme consequences." Nuin (Ash) is associated with part of a weaver's loom. Weaving in what is diverse allows for more wisdom and creativity, leading to a fuller, more colorful life.

We need diversity of thought in the world to face the new challenges.
―Tim Berners-Lee
