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."

Encumbrances

From the Ferret Tarot, the Nine of Swords; from Nature's Wisdom Oracle, Honey Bee:


Is this a satisfying thought? Will it liberate me or keep me bound?
―Vanessa Zuisei Goddard

Although we humans don't like to feel anxious, we sure do practice worrying a lot. We ruminate over past actions and project our worst fears on the future. Such mental maneuvering gets us nowhere and provides no solutions. The Honey Bee encourages us to be productive, to create something beneficial with our mind instead of allowing it to trap us in dark, cobwebbed corners. Goddard advocates for us to question our thoughts instead of giving them free reign. Why should we be encumbered by our mind?
