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."

If We're Willing

From the Hezicos Tarot, the Star; from the Way of the Horse, Horse Ancestors:



Perhaps there is a better way - we think so.
―AA basic text

No one heals unless they rest, allowing what flattened them to be purged. Nevertheless, it's tempting, once we are feeling more like our old selves, to go back to the familiar. We start strategizing, trying to revamp the same thing that caused our fall. The Star tells us there is guidance to be had if we're willing to set aside our plans and listen. Yet listen, as Krishnamurti encouraged, "without your prejudices interfering – listen as you may listen to the song of a bird." Horse Ancestors implies that we have inherited certain habits from our family or culture. However deeply entrenched, unhealthy patterns can be changed if we're willing to do the hard work of learning new behaviors and attitudes.
