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."

World of Wonders

From the Wayfarer Tarot, the Two of Wands; from the Curious Oracle, the Rose:



We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. – Jawaharial Nehru

The Two of Wands is a stepping off place between the same and new, the known and unknown. It's exciting, but also a little nerve-wracking to not know what lies down the path ahead. Even our maps and goals don't tell us everything. I had my own adventure not too long ago down unfamiliar roads. I encountered my first roundabout (four, in fact) and felt like I'd entered a revolving door spinning at Mach speed. When we face such new challenges and feel less than adept, it can be easy to decide we should turn back. But Rose reminds us not just to focus on the obstacles, but the beauty, wonder and good things as well. Those are what help make ups and downs of the journey worthwhile.
