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."

Finding It Again

This week I'll be using the Gaian Tarot, a deck and book set created and self-published by Joanna Powell Colbert. I'll also be using the Goddess Oracle, a deck and book set created by Amy Sophia Marashinsky and illustrated by Hrana Janto. Today's draws are Elder of Air (King of Swords) and Minerva:



Discernment: the ability to tell truth from fiction, to know when we have lost our center and how to find it again. ―Anne Hill

Kings offer guidance, but as the Elder of Air knows, guidance without clarity is worthless. To slow down his mind, which sniffs every bush constantly to see what needs to be worried about, he plays his flute. Focus allows his thoughts to slow down, giving him a chance to see clearly what is true and what is genuinely important. Minerva knows one major problem that fogs up our glasses is unfounded, unquestioned beliefs. She tells us: "I am what I think; my life is shaped and formed by what I tell myself. I make sure what I carry is of my own careful choosing and serves me well."
