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."

The Unknown

From the Tarot of the Crone, the Two of Wands; from the Wondering Traveler's Oracle, Wonder:



The heart has a yearning for the unknown, a longing to penetrate the deep shadow and the winding glade, where, as it seems, no human foot has been. 
—Richard Jefferies

There are those of us who prefer the tried and true, the devil we know rather than the one we don't. Then there are those who are drawn to the unknown, the mysterious places we've never been and know little about. In reality, we are constantly pushed into the unfamiliar because life is constantly flipping our normal upside down. What seems strange at first has a way of becoming routine and typical. Wonder is a feeling of surprise mingled with admiration, often the result of experiencing something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar, or unexplainable. The unknown is a perfect place to find it - if we're paying attention rather than grumping about how things used to be.
