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."

Resourceful

From the Classic Tarot, the Queen of Coins; from the Constellations Deck, Auriga:


It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. ―Charles Darwin

As Elizabeth I proved, Queens were good for more than birthing heirs. The Queen of Coins nurtures her people by obtaining and providing what they need. Yet sometimes what is needed is not available, and she has to be innovative and resourceful. Auriga, Latin for the charioteer, was named for the mythological Greek hero Erichthonius of Athens. The son of Hephaestus who was raised by the goddess Athena, Erichthonius was credited with creating the four-horse chariot which he used to save Athens. As the saying goes, our greatest resource is often our resourcefulness.
