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."

Find Your Heart's Ease

From the Gaian Tarot, the Elder of Water; from the Goddess Oracle, Hathor:



Well, I was born in the sign of water
And it's there that I feel my best
The albatross and the whales, they are my brothers
It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon like a lover
―Little River Band 

The Elder of Water (King of Cups) has to deal with more than his share of drama. No one's heart can take constant flogging without a break. This fellow knows we all need a special place to go to decompress - his place is in his skiff right before sunrise. Such a sacred place allows our hearts to let go of their weight and feel ease and peace. Hathor, the ancient Egyptian sky goddess, tells us that we are here to experience delight. Each of us have a favored sense for joy, perhaps taste for the foodie or hearing for the music lover. This is not about hiding from what is presently going on around us, but for finding ways to also experience the moment in a good way. What's your place and pleasure? 

When the ground is rumbling and the windows rattling, everyone needs an earthquake safe space (Lia, one of our cats). We've got big machinery and jackhammers all around us, tearing up the gutters and streets that have been damaged by several floods and a hurricane. It will be nice to have them fixed, but right now it is quite noisy!
