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."

Enchanting Influence

From the Ship of Fools Tarot, the Four of Coins; from the Wisdom of the Four Winds, Glow worm:


I recently had a door-to-door salesman who was selling home security equipment. He was on his game, knowing how to weasel out what might be of interest and what wasn't, and then he zeroed in. I asked questions and he went in circles to avoid answering some and flat out made up answers to others. I waited until he started to run out of selling points then told him I don't buy anything that I haven't done my own research on, especially when there seem to be no downsides. The Four of Coins suggests keeping a check on my "Oh I need one of those!" impulses. The Glow worm, a fungus gnat whose larval stage produces a blue-green bioluminescence, suggests that expectations might be an influence on loosening purse strings ("Oooo... pretty!). Best wait until I'm not under its enchantment.
