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."

Structured Chaos

From the Light and Shadow Tarot, the Ace of Wands; from the Art Rounds Oracle, Peach Pit:



Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being sought. It always defeats order, because it is better organized. —Terry Pratchett

The Ace of Wands indicates a desire to create, build and grow; it might turn into a plan, but right now it's a hot mess. Our creative imagination can churn out a million ideas from how we want to begin to what we want the end result to look like. As unorganized as this process sounds, it is actually structured chaos. It's a place where we can easily adapt, adjust and change things before they become too concrete. The Peach Pit - designed to protect the seed inside - contains a potentially dangerous chemical called amygdalin which the enzymes in the gut can turn into cyanide. It represents the sweet and the bitter, the hard and the easy, that are all a part of the whole. Rarely is any enterprise smooth sailing, but if we can maintain a sense of humor, the chaos can be part of the excitement.
