![]() I am undertaking a journey through the cards in my private facebook group and today's card was the 2 of wands, image from my deck Cosmic Mother Tarot (buy yours here). And it gave me pause for thought. As much as I LOVE the tarot, sometimes, it is wisest, to just put them down... I love this card because it shows the struggle of feeling that we need to know the future before we can attempt to create it. The little person is looking to this vast unknown and alien looking possibility in front of her. She has her crystal ball beside her. She is ready to move. And yet she hasn't yet... What is she waiting for? And the thing with tarot (and any other divination practice) is, they are a bit of a crutch sometimes. Apart from my readings for other people I'm not really using my tarot at the moment. CONFESSION: I've kinda gone off my tarot for the time being... Because it can get too much. We can get frozen, looking for answers in the cards and not really assessing the situation from our hearts. We can become afraid of the mystery. Even as at the same time we are straddling the magical mystery of the cards... We can become stuck in a fear of the unknown, awaiting the perfect card, or transit of venus or the right vibes as designated by our online yoga guru... Last year the cards saw me through the darkness of hubby having his heart attack and all the drama and crazy that unfolded. They saw me well, truly they were wonderful. But then I became a little dependent on them, and I didn't always like the answers they gave. And I realised that I needed to put them down for a bit and just live, free from prediction and the restrictions that this can cause... Have you found the cards or any other technique (horoscopes, psychics etc) to be an unhealthy crutch? Or have you become frozen due to the need to 'know' something before you do it? The thing is, we can never really know - not even with the best tarot reading in the world. And if we did know, we might stop before we even start. Which means we are blocking all kinds of experiences that we did not foresee... So let's put our fears and our cards down today, and just go ahead into that big scary yonder... Please share in the comments any thoughts you have, any times you have been frozen or overly dependent on tarot /psychics / horoscopes etc...
