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."

Intuition as Guide

From the Whimsical Tarot, the Page of Cups; from the Over the Moon Oracle, Rejection (Ace of Spades):
          The Page of Cups is represented by a crystal ball, suggesting intuitive information. Like tea leaves, images and shapes are seen and interpreted with this fortune-telling device. It's fascinating how everyone attends to intuitive nudges in different forms. Some people get a visceral poke, a physical feeling that tells them to take action. Others are triggered through visual means, such as cards or the unusual appearance of an animal. Dreams are another way, as are random thoughts or fragments of songs (mental). There are some folks who trust their own intuition, while others only have faith in it if it comes through someone else (a fortune-teller, a spiritual guide, etc.). Yet the Rejection card implies that to reject such unorthodox wisdom is often to our disadvantage. My friend whose house was destroyed by the tornado had an intuitive shove to get out and go somewhere about 15 minutes before it hit. Intuition may not be 100% accurate, but I do think it has evolved for a reason.
