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."

Our Versions of Reality

From the Swietlistej Drogi, the King of Swords; from the Mirrors of the Heart, Healthfulness:



It's funny how humans can wrap their mind around things and fit them into their version of reality.
―Rick Riordan

This King leans on his downward-pointed sword, underscoring his belief that the real world is grounded in logic, evidence and facts. Yet many of us imagine a different reality - either one full of specific desires we crave or one full of fears we attempt to push away. But these hopes and fears are not in the present, thus they are not concrete realities. He asks, "Is it not enough just to deal with what is actually happening this day?" Healthfulness is impacted by our thoughts and the mental stories that we create. As Susan Bauer-Wu points out, "Stories are automatic, and they can carry you away. They can agitate the mind, which in turn agitates the body and shakes up your world in general. "For the sake of your mental and physical health, be mindful of what you mind is up to.
