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."

It'll Take Some Patience

From the Buckland Romani Tarot, the Page of Koshes (Staves); from the Lakota Sweat Lodge Deck, Hanblecheya:



Doing less is often harder than doing more.  
―Carolyn Rubenstein

This Page craves what is fun and daring, always vying to be the center of attention. He stretches his neck and muscles after a training session with his older brother in learning the skill of plate spinning. When things are new, he can be hyper-focused, but his attention wanes quickly. He'll have to train in concentration as well if he wants to learn this skill. Hanblecheya is a traditional Lakota (Sioux) sacred ceremony commonly known as a Vision Quest. Things that normally keep one busy and entertained are left behind, as the participant spends time alone in a remote, natural place while fasting. Attention changes when there is less of everything; at first, we may feel restless and irritated until we settle. Inner inspiration comes when we become open rather than trying to force it. Both these cards ask us to be patient, stay focused, and become receptive - it'll be worth it.
