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."

It Starts From Within

From the Albano-Waite Tarot, the Queen of Pentacles; from the American Pen Oracle, Eudora Welty:



Wherever you see fit to serve, your wise and embodied offerings are needed.
—Ruth King

The Queen of Wands has charisma and confidence, but one of her most amazing skills is being able to lead without the power of the King. She leads through influence rather than authority, understanding how to foster collaboration and be a team player. She is trustworthy, inspiring, and always willing to help support others in their interests. Though some of us may have knowledge or skills that might be of use or interest to a group, we may fear we don't have the experience to guide anyone. Eudora Welty offers us some encouragement: "A sheltered life can be a daring life as well. For all serious daring starts from within."
