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."
"The goal isn't to arrive, but to meander, to saunter, to make your life a holy wandering." ~ Rami Shapiro

Contrasting Togetherness

From the Deirdre of the Sorrows Tarot, Temperance; from the Victorian Flower Oracle, Tea and Coffee:


Why be a star when you can make a constellation? 
―Naomi Murakawa

This angel seems to encourage us to mix our personal goals with spiritual values. Doing so will require an other-centered approach rather than a self-centered one. We must be willing to add other views and ideas to our own, to create with a mix of colors rather than just one hue. Tea and Coffee represent friendship - a pairing of differences that make for a lively and interesting companionship. As Margaret Mead wrote, "If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place."

With Friends

From the Deirdre of Sorrows Tarot, the Page of Wands; from the Victorian Flower Oracle, Tea and Coffee:

          This cheeky Page may be dressed to impress, but he can't hide his childlike enthusiasm over a message he bears. I imagine if he was a GIF, he'd be jumping up and down. Good luck reading that note in private! If the Tea and Coffee card is a hint as to what's inside the envelope, it appears that an invitation to a chin wag with friends is being offered. Even when I'm tired and worn out, a small group of relaxed friends always lifts my spirits. As Betty Ford said, “You can make it, but it’s easier if you don’t have to do it alone.”
