Changing Times

From the Tarot of the Sidhe, Justice; from the Green Man Tree Oracle, Gorse (Onn):

We must adjust to changing times and still hold to unchanging principles. 

―Jimmy Carter

This fairy engages in quite a balancing act; if the wind or currents shift, she must adjust so that she doesn't fall. Thoth decks call this card Adjustment, which acknowledges that true justice cannot be set in concrete but must alter itself according to new knowledge and changing circumstances. As Carter said, we don't lose our principles just because we adjust our laws. Gorse (Onn) is a shrub that burns fast and bright. Its ogham, Onn, is derived from the Irish word fonn, meaning the sole of the foot and is connected to movement. No law or rule that is unjust should stand for long without being replaced with one that is fair to all.
