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."

Digging Out the Good

From the Slow Tarot, the Six of Swords; from the ROAR Oracle, Ruth Bader Ginsberg:


On a stormy evening with his hope as bright as the lighthouse, a figure sets sail toward another island. Perhaps he is leaving a toxic environment or relationship and wishes for a new beginning elsewhere. But before he gets there, he should check himself and make sure he's not bringing along the mindset that got him involved with those people, as well as any lingering resentments. Otherwise, he might create more of the same. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a women's rights activist and Supreme Court Justice. Her quote is a reminder that we just don't know how things will turn out: "So often in life, things that you regard as an impediment turn out to be great good fortune." We can use the past to make us more discerning, seeing the blessing that may have come from it - wisdom. 

Dogmatism and skepticism are both, in a sense, absolute philosophies; one is certain of knowing, the other of not knowing. What philosophy should dissipate is certainty, whether of knowledge or ignorance. ~Bertrand Russell
