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."

Perspective Flip

From the Herbcrafter's Tarot, Strength; from the Green Wheel Oracle, 'Goat:'
          Garlic has been used for centuries as a pungent herb in seasonings, but it is also beneficial for conditions of the heart (such as hypertension) and as a boost to the immune system. The tie-in with Strength's courage and compassion meanings are clear. The creators have added a honeycomb as a suggestion to balance the power of pungency with some sweetness. The Goat is a trickster, asking us to consider the flip side of things. For instance, is that love and tolerance just a cover for passivity that avoids confrontation? Are courage and tenacity really just nice labels for stubbornness and impulsivity? Inner strength requires a truthful look at what motivates and sustains our power source.
