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."

Get Moving

This week I'll be using the Urban Tarot, a deck and book set created and self-published by Robin Scott (though now published by U.S. Games). I'll be pairing it with an oracle I created called "Principles to Live By." Today's draws are the Chariot and Gratitude:


Ignorance is bliss. Wisdom is blisters.
—Brian Spellman

Planning and preparation are essential for any big task or project, but at some point, we must stop making lists and start taking action. It's time to start gaining ground before our way is blocked. I live in the bottom corner of the state of Georgia. Tonight, we have been warned that an Arctic blast is arriving that will keep nighttime temps in the low 20s (F) accompanied by 25 mph. winds. It will stick around for a couple of weeks and likely bring sleet and possibly snow. Now in Canada or North America, this is simply called winter. But in an area that rarely drops below 30 F, we are sorely unprepared. Yet we have been hurriedly doing our best to get ready anyway. [By the way Southerners do NOT know how to drive in sleet and snow, so avoid this area until it thaws.] Gratitude is a reminder of the resources we do have, including a home in which to harbor from the storm. It's a principle that can warm the heart, no matter what the weather.
