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."

Balanced Order

From the Mary-El Tarot, Justice; from the OH Cards, Post and Line:



Truth is what imposed order, law, justice, morality and balance upon primordial chaos.
―Marie White

Justice is illustrated with Ma'at, the goddess of truth, justice, balance, and order. Things get out of balance because we think there some things/people more special and important than other things/people. But Ma'at asks us if the weight of our heart balances with the feather of Truth. Not our personal truth (opinions and beliefs), but the universal, capital 'T' one. Post and Line also brings up the idea of balance and adjustment - that line won't stay taut unless it's attached to another firmly grounded post. Likewise, justice must be balanced with mercy just as wisdom must be with compassion.
