This week I'll be using the Vision Quest Tarot, a deck created by Gayle Silvie Winter and Jo Dose (illustrator); it was published by AGM Müller. I'll also be using two combined oracles: Bird Cards and Ascension to Paradise, deck and book sets by Jane Toerien (author) and Joyce van Dobben (illustrator); they were published by Altamira-Becht and Binkey Kok. Today's draws are the Two of Earth (Pentacles) and Parrot:
There is growth, flourishing, production and fading in the natural world. Humans are prone to forget that we live under the same laws as the rest of nature. Can we move with this flow without demanding that it be different? Life is good and hard - we forget that change is always a part of it. Though it may move at times at a snail's pace, it is this change that keeps things in balance. Grey parrots are highly intelligent birds, needing extensive behavioral and social enrichment as well as extensive attention in captivity or else they may become distressed. A bird from the wild cannot be happy sitting on a stick all day in a human home. Stagnation is its message of warning: we all need fresh experiences to keep our mind and body healthy.
Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind. ―Leonardo da Vinci
