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."

Creating Me

From the Dark Goddess Tarot, the Ace of Earth (Gaia); from the Tattwa Cards, Earth: Seed of Fire:


Every story I create, creates me. ―Octavia E. Butler

In Greek mythology, Gaia was the ancestral mother of all of life. She is Nature; her essence is driven to provide for what she produces. What we don't realize is that she is in us, and we too are constantly creating - maybe not a bestselling novel or an acclaimed piece of art - but with our thoughts, words and actions. These are the frames we use to shape the resources around us. Earth: Seed of Fire represents potential, an ability that we can develop. But we must be aware of our patterns that will shape this potential, or we might not create what we desire. As Eckhart Tolle said, "You create a good future by creating a good present."

  1. I drew the Five of Cups from the Considerate Cat Tarot late yesterday, and it echoed Tolle’s message. Not a bad thought. (Judy)

    1. I saw that Jamie is shipping, but that USPS isn't because of the backlog to Canada. :( I hope they get things moving soon!

  2. Oh I know, it’s so unfortunate that there is so much backlog, I’m still down because of not being able to mail my handmade cards and bookmarks. I’ve got a digital journal all set up for the Out of Hand at least. (Judy)
