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."

Getting Started

From the Neuzeit Tarot, the Ace of Wands; from Rory's Story Dice, 'Falling Star:'

          The Ace of Wands is like a match posed above a pile of kindling. It is an inspiration that motivates us like a strong feeling of hunger or thirst. If we're willing to take a chance, we can begin making plans to do something concrete with this drive. Unfortunately, we may shuffle our feet without actually doing a thing because we long for certainty. Like the Boy Meets Girl band sings, we find ourselves "waiting on a falling star" before making a move. Unfortunately, while we wait for the Universe to send us a sign, the tide is going out and the weather is changing. If that plant man wants to get his raft out on the water, he needs to put his oar-like hands in the sea and start rowing.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
