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."

Purpose-Driven

From the Roots of Asia, the Queen of Wands; from the Mahjongg Oracle, Peacock:


Giving back is as good for you as it is for those you are helping, because giving gives you purpose. When you have a purpose-driven life, you’re a happier person. 
—Goldie Hawn

The Queen of Wands is a creative superstar, so it's no wonder she often is surrounded by admirers who want her guidance for nurturing their own talents. She doesn't worry that sharing creative ideas with others will put out her own spark. This Queen knows that encouraging others can provide her with new inspiration, giving her new directions to explore. The Peacock is a warning not to become complacently prideful in her success. Yet the mirror the woman holds suggests introspection and self-awareness. An endless road of good intentions (assisting others) is often paved with exhaustion and burnout. The Queen must make sure she carves out some sacred time and space that is her own.

    I've become much less giving and altruistic and open than I once was. Or thought myself to be.

      I think I wax and wane at different points in my life.
