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."

Uprooting Discontent

From the Tarot of the Masters, the Six of Swords; from the Key to the Kingdom, the King of Clubs:


With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
—Jimmy Buffett

 An attitude is a relatively enduring evaluation of something or someone. A positive mindset sees the world as it is, yet still full of possibilities. A negative outlook sees most everything as a dumpster fire. It's only when we take an honest look at our views that we see how they - rather than things outside of ourselves - are often the cause of our discontent. Refocusing our lens through practices such as mindfulness, seeking out the good, and stress management can help us be more resilient and find the contentment we crave. The King of Clubs is paired with the children's poem "This is the Key of the Kingdom." It visually moves as if starting from a wide-angle lens to a micro-lens. What is the key? It is our ability to awaken our curiosity, imagination and open-mindedness, all traits that require us to move beyond a self-centered perspective.
