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."

Because We Can

From the Tarot of the Master, the Nine of Coins; from the Paracelsus Oracle, Conjunctio:


There are many wonderful things that will never be done if you don’t do them.
 – Charles Gill

The keyword given for this card is a bit unusual - courtesy. When I noticed what appeared to be a serving tray at the bottom, I was reminded how often there are circumstances when we serve and help others not because we have to but because we can. Conjunctio (conjunction) suggests an intersection or convergence of forces that come together for a common goal. Do we cross paths with people so that we may learn from each other, and perhaps offer aid? These opportunities tend to change both parties in beneficial ways. I'm currently reading an older book titled "The Day the World Came to Town," an uplifting account of the many planes from around the world that were forced to land in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland on 9/11 and the kindness and support that was shown. A perfect example of these two cards.
