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."

Bonded Pair

From the Shadowscapes Tarot, the Seven of Cups; from the Cedar Runes, Ehwaz:



Wants worth pursuing are carefully measured, intentionally disciplined, and thoughtfully organized.
—Scott Shumway

Two people dream - perhaps of finding a mate, building a home, and having stable finances. But while one is wishing on a star for such happiness, the other seems to be making a plan. Whatever we think will bring us emotional fulfillment will require more than plucking it from a tree. There will need to be steps taken to achieve what we wish for, possibly even changes made in us. Ehwaz ("horse") suggests a bond between rider and horse as well as movement. It underscores the necessity of pairing action with our passion. As Amelia Earhart stated, "The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity."
