"I've always thought of the Rainbow as as actually being a circle.
Half disappears into the ground, into an underworld realm, hidden, but present. "
Christy Salo, Artist
In the Tarot, the Higher Arcana is a progression through what mythologist Joseph Campbell called the "Hero’s Journey". The first card in the traditional Tarot deck is The Fool . The Fool represents the utterly open innocence, and infinite possibilities, with with we incarnate into this world. The Arcana progress through different experiences, revelations, trials and initiations. The last card of the Journey is The World, the return Home. Although my Oracle Deck is not a Tarot, I have still used this metaphor in its creation.

Above are a few of the Cards. To view their descriptions, please visit the BLOG.
THE LOVERS
The Lovers stand beneath "Axis Mundi", the World Tree, a symbol that reminds us that we are connected to the above world and the below world, the future and the past, at every moment. The man offers the woman a flame to ignite their shared passion, which she reaches for with delight. This card can be about Eros, erotic and romantic love, but it also is simply about Love, the sacred union of kindred souls and the "flame" that their union ignites in both hearts. If this card has been chosen, you may soon have love entering your life and "lighting your fire"; you may also be encouraged by this card to bear that "flame" to the one you love, warming the connection between you to a new level of love.
Reversed: Let your heart assist you in making decisions. What do you truly love as you consider a new course? This card reversed could also relate to poor timing, poor communication, and frustration of mutual understanding in your relationships. This may not be the time to rush in, and you may not be entering into a love relationship for the best or clearest of reasons. Don't rush in because you feel lonely - learn to love yourself now, and when you least expect it, the right partner will arrive at a more auspicious time.

DORMANT
The Season of Rest and Renewal
An embryo appears beneath the ice of a snow-clad pond. Winter’s child, sleeping beneath the frozen surface. She is the yet unborn child of a spring that will come when the time is ripe. We are cyclical beings, participating in ever expanding circles of life. There are personal cycles that are unique to our own life impulses, and there are collective cycles as well. There is a time to be active, and there is an equal need for times of rest. Dormancy is a word we’re uncomfortable with in our busy lives, but slowing down, rejuvenating and becoming receptive during the dark months of the year is part of nature‘s wisdom.
If we are not continually achieving we often feel something is wrong. But the achievements of soul work do not adhere to the clock or calendar. A depression may be a wake-up call, reflecting genuine weariness or an authentic need for change. Perhaps you need to grieve for someone or something that has passed from your life. This card can indicate the need for you to accept the healing season of dormancy, to slow down, empty out, dream and rejuvenate.
Reversed: It's time to get real about being exhausted. You could be running on empty. Maybe now is the time for long overdue rest. Accept it, and stop fighting. Spring and new life will come eventually.
