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."

Right Action

From the Delta Enduring Tarot, the Six of Cast Irons (Pentacles); from the Southernisms Oracle, Playing Possum:


When we bear witness, the right action arises by itself. We don't have to worry about what to do.
―Bernie Glassman

We spay and neuter the cats we adopt (even though they are indoors), but here, like many places, we have a feral cat problem. Though some people can't afford to pay for the vet's services, others who have outdoor cats simply turn a blind eye to the kittens they produce who must make their own way. The "Playing possum" card points to this habit of pretending, yet the Six of Cast Irons encourages us to not turn away. We all have resources we can share, even if it is only attention or a kind word.
