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."

Hot and Fast

From the Forest of Enchantment Tarot, the Eight of Spells (Wands); from the Mushroom Spirit Oracle, Scarlet Elf Cup:



Your intuition knows what to do. The challenge is to listen to it. 
—Gay Hendricks 

A parliament of owls is coming in hot and fast, representing the result of things put into motion earlier. Maybe it's a choice that must be made or a big project that has been given an affirmative nod, but whatever it is, we must be ready to move quickly. When we don't have time to patiently think things over, intuition can be our friend. The information we need has already been uploaded in our brain; all we need to do is to trust it. Scarlet Elf Cup is associated with healing - First Nations tribes used it as a styptic on wounds. It is a reminder that big events, good or bad, can take a lot out of us. We need to spend some down time to let our energy recharge.

  1. I first learned of a parliament of owls from The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis when I was 8 years-old. Back when I could still knit I made 2 little stubby owls from a free pattern and put a silk flower on the head of one and they became Patty and Percy, the Parliament twins. (J)

    1. I bet those little owls were cute! I wonder how groups of animals started being named in such ways...

    2. Some of them are strange, like a murder of crows, not sure who decided that, although crows are carnivorous. I sent you a photo of Patty and Percy. (J)

    3. Maybe the group names have to do with how people regarded them. Loved the owls!
