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."

Higher Consciousness

From the Alchemical Renewed Tarot, the Star; from the Oracle of the Radiant Sun, Practicality (Moon in Capricorn):


The fundamental division in our country seems to be between people who are comfortable with the changing face of America and those who are fearful of losing status. ~Suzette Hackney

          Place uses Melusine, the Siren of the Philosophers, for his Star card (who is also on the Starbucks logo). Alchemically, the siren’s two tails represent unity - of earth and water, body and soul. Rather than a mindset of ally and enemy, this siren encourages us to look at all the pieces together from a higher level of consciousness. How can they fit together? The Moon in Capricorn personality is innately responsible, pragmatic and measured in the ways that they respond. Yet being a cardinal sign, Capricorn is motivated to take action. But how do we unite what seems to be irreparably broken? Carey Nieuwhof suggests a starting point: "We’re all people trying to do our best with fears, hopes, dreams, insecurities, needs and people we love. That’s a LOT of common ground." Perhaps our commonalities can be the beginning of a discussion.
