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."

Not Squashed

From the Deirdre of the Sorrows Tarot, the Emperor; from the Victorian Flower Oracle, Violet:



True freedom requires the rule of law and justice, and a judicial system in which the rights of some are not secured by the denial of rights to others. ―Jonathan Sacks

The Emperor's laws are meant to create a working, healthy society. Yet without representatives from all walks of life, he may get stuck in his personal view of what that structure looks like. Tulip, a card symbolizing prosperity and well-being, is a caution to serve all, not a select few. Fair and ethical laws uphold civil rights - equal protection and opportunities regardless of race, religion, or other personal characteristics. No one is above the law, but no one should have their life squashed by it either.
