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."

Once Upon a Time

From the Morgan Greer Tarot, the Three of Swords; from the Celtic Book of the Dead, the Ever-living Lady:



Sandwiched between their “once upon a time” and “happily ever after,” they all had to experience great adversity. ―Dieter F. Uchtdorf

The LWB of the Morgan Greer describes this card's meaning as "a person who ruthlessly prioritizes power over humanity." It suggests people who "care" for others as long as they're useful to them. But healthy people develop and change; they can't help but grow out of the mold they were in (no matter how inconvenient for another). The Ever-living Lady appeared to the seafarers and told them to voyage to the Isle of Women in the Otherworld. Her message to us is not to get upset when our goals don't follow a straight line. In the realm of relationships, we sometimes take many exit ramps, yet we learn resilience and discernment along the way.
