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."

Open-minded Conflict

From the World Spirit Tarot, the Five of Wands; from the Mystic Glyphs, "Turkey:"
          Even when we like a group of people, we'll eventually disagree about how and when (or even if) something should be done. Our experiences and perceptions are too varied to always be on the same page. The rooster at the bottom of the card is a concern, as it reminds me of cockfighting - a blood sport that ends in the death of one of the birds. Yet the Turkey card, which Rogers associates with a gift, suggests that the conflict can be beneficial instead of harmful. If I don't have my opinions set in concrete, I might just learn something from this dust-up. It might give me a chance to look more deeply at an issue that I only saw the surface of before. The disagreement may help me finely tune my own ideas and solutions, as I see the situation more clearly from a broader view. No need for bloodshed or yelling.
