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."

Just One Square in the Quilt

This week I'll be using the Swietlistej Drogi Tarot (Tarot of the Radiant Path), created by Alla Alicja Chrzanowska and published by Studio Astropsychologii. I'll also be drawing from the oracle Mirrors of the Heart, created and self-published by Lily S. May. Today's draws are the Six of Wands and Truthfulness:

          In front of a cozy fireplace (with lots of extra wood to burn), a family sits around a table enjoying each other's company. After the battle, the project, or some natural chaos, life has simplified and stability has returned. There may not be any fanfare, but there's plenty of gratitude for what has been accomplished or come to an end. The faceted diamond depicted in Truthfulness is a reminder that a half-truth is not the whole truth. For instance, someone might declare that he didn't character assassinate a co-worker, yet in reality, he certainly trashed the rest of her family. To shine the light on just one facet is not lighting up the whole gem. In the same way, the family above might enjoy the lull in what had been a stressful ordeal, but they know better than to believe life will be uninterrupted bliss from here on out. 

Every season has its peaks and valleys. What you have to try to do is eliminate the Grand Canyon.
