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."

Not a Mountain, Just a Hill

From the Llewellyn Tarot, Strength; from the Beasts of Albion, Weasel:



Our doubts are traitors and cause us to miss the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.
–William Shakespeare

The Strength card illustrates a tale of courage about Culhwch; he wanted to win the hand of a giant's daughter and was required to successfully perform many tasks. Perhaps the most dangerous was taking the comb, scissors and razor from the head of a boar named Twrch Trwyth. Culhwch was smart in that he enlisted the help of King Arthur and some of his men, knowing challenges are easier met with support. Weasel, an animal known for its agility and ferocity despite its size, knows how to get close and size things up before jumping in. It is also flexible, adapting as necessary when it confronts what it faces. Above all, understand the essence of T. Harv Eker's words: “Nothing has meaning except for the meaning you give it.”
