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."

Coming to Ground

The card pulled from the Tarot of the Crone this morning is the Eight of Wands:
Again this deck is much different from the RWS - there are no staffs flying through the air here.  Instead, eight figures stand in bright red robes, with the front person holding a sunflower.  The verse for this card is: I must return what has been given.  These words mean that each of us has been given specific abilities - creative inspiration and wisdom that can encourage others.  These gifts must "come to ground," or be manifested by us so they can be of service.  It is both a responsibility and a privilege to share what we have.  In some cases it might be revealed as leadership, in others it might be beauty created by an artist or words used by a wordsmith.  What flower are you offering today?

     Today the card from the Transforming Dragons deck is "Luling:"
Luling is a dragon of the East who reminds us of the wisdom and knowledge within us.  Loving guidance is available if I will only tap into the source - my Higher Self.  There's nothing wrong with getting opinions from others, reading books, or attending seminars, but sometimes the best advice is as close as my next breath...
