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."

Muddled Minds

From the Tarot of the Secret Forest, the Six of Swords; from the Faeries' Oracle, "Indi:"
          I'm feeling sluggish this morning after a sleepless night, and I've got a busy day ahead. I don't think even a whole pot of coffee would fix this feeling. When I opened up my email, I had a daily thought from Blue Mountain Center of Meditation: "Plain old inertia is the underlying cause of many of our day-to-day difficulties. You will be feeling listless, oppressed, weighted down by lassitude; you won’t want to do anything at all." The solution it suggested was physical - get moving. The Six of Swords with its flowing river seems to bear this wisdom too, but it also implies a change in attitude. This is paralleled in Indi of the Faeries, who represents wishy-washy indecisiveness. Do this, do that or don't do anything? Yet if I move from self-centered thinking to other-centered thinking, the decision about what to do is a no-brainer.
