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."

Behavior Constellations

From the Forest of Enchantment Tarot, Starlight; from the Mushroom Spirit Oracle, Amethyst Deceiver:



To understand is to perceive patterns. —Isaiah Berlin

The fairies observe patterns of stars that move as a group over the seasons. They give these constellations names and tell stories about them. We also have such constellations in our lives - behavior patterns that we inherit or habituate ourselves, not realizing that while some might be helpful, others can create our undoing. When we're flat on our back, there is no better time to start investigating. Amethyst Deceiver is an edible mushroom that is a lovely deep violet color when the weather is wet. But dry weather causes it to develop a much paler shade, making it resemble a toxic mushroom that collectors leave alone. When we've been knocked to our knees, it's easy to see every hand that reaches out as an enemy. Look closer and watch longer before making that decision.
