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."

Dreaming of Plush Pillows

From the Tarot of Pagan Cats, the Fool; from the oracle Cat Wisdom, "Don't Worry:"
          I was slightly confused about the dream cloud hanging over the cat's head. The lwb states: "You may have an idea about where you want to end up, but you have no idea how to get there." Resting on a plush pillow does sound nice after dealing with two very sick moms, one out-of-sorts daughter, and the unexpected death of a friend this past week. But I don't have a magic wand to get me to that peaceful place right now. Life feels like I'm on the "learn as you go" plan. The Fool would probably say that plan is perfectly fine and suggest I stay in the moment and chase some butterflies. Added to his philosophy is the kitten who says "Don't worry" (and automatically makes the Bob Marley song play in my head). My anxiety will only exacerbate the problems, not help solve them. My duty is to help where I can, offer compassionate support and let go of what I have no control over (which is a lot).
