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."

What We've Been Given

This week I'll be using the Slow Tarot, created by Lacey Bryant and published through Modern Eden Gallery. Paired with it will be the ROAR Oracle, created and self-published by MJ Cullinane. Today's draws are the Ace of Pentacles and Mary Shelley:


You can’t escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.
―Abraham Lincoln

Have you ever been cleaning out your purse, wallet or pockets and found money you didn't know was there? The Ace of Pentacles is about discovering an unexpected resource, something that could be useful to us if we do something prudent with it. The card shows games of chance (die and marbles), rings, a burned down candle and keys. Do we use this resource on a lottery ticket, more trinkets or household items, or do we use it to unlock a door that might lead to a beneficial opportunity? Mary Shelley is known for writing Frankenstein, a book about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made. These cards encourage us to recognize and accept responsibility for how we use what we've been given.
