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."

Tick Tock

From the Tabula Mundi Tarot, the Queen of Disks; from the Words of the Brehon, "Three things that show a weak man:"



It's your reaction to adversity, not adversity itself that determines how your life's story will develop. 
—Dieter F. Uchtdorf

The Queen of Disks is associated with Capricorn's sea-goat, a fitting symbol for someone who is sure-footed (capable) and able to move with the flow (resourceful). She takes pride in creating a haven for people and providing for their needs. She often acts as a facilitator, assisting and helping prepare others before they take on a big project or other endeavor. The Brehon's three things that show a weak man - bitterness, hatred, and cowardice - are all ways people try to duck reality rather than dealing with it. Inner strength allows us to move forward, keeping in mind what is truly important; to forgive, as we refuse to take everything personally; and stay grounded as we face adversity. This Queen would agree, reminding us that no one gets to hide in a refuge forever.
