Card Meanings:

Card One (Left): 

Fern - Growth

“Ferns find a way to grow no matter what condition they may face, inspiring the oracle property Growth.  It’s not always easy.  Sometimes we would like to remain with what is safe and known, but stagnation does not tend to lead to happiness and success.  How can you push yourself?  What opportunities to you have to seek personal growth?  What adversity are you facing that could lead to new paths and ways of thinking?  This oracle property is much like the Death card in a tarot deck – though it often gives people a fright, its message it is very much about the kind of change that leads to growth.”

Card Two (Middle): 

Dandelion - Humility

“When you feel underappreciated were invisible, remember the dandelion and its ability to flourish.  Seen from a different perspective, the oracle property Humility is needed when assessing your own importance in a given situation or relationship.  Are you overestimating your own contributions, value, or difficulties?  It’s very easy to slip into a narcissistic mindset; after all, we are each at the center of our own universe.  However, it is sometimes the sun shall to step back and be very honest about where we stand in relation to others.  Everyone wants to be heard and feel valued.  Are you doing your best to see others in as kind a light as you see yourself?”

Card Three (Right):

Indigo - Enhance

“You can find this plant in many parts of the world, though it is perhaps the easiest to see in the wild in North America or in Asia.  Native Americans once used indigo as a primary source of blue dye, a practice that was later adopted by the industrial textile industry.  All denim was at one point dyed with indigo, though it is now done with synthetic color.  Indigo’s virtue as a coloring agent leads us to the oracle property Enhance.  We are often inclined to discard or reject things that are less exciting or remarkable than we would like.  Even when judging ourselves, we tend it to only value what is most “special” often ignoring the solid, steadfast characteristics that make us functional and of value in our communities.  Shifting your perspective or routine can bring new life to relationships, situations, and thought patterns.  Before discarding something, try changing the way you think about it.  Simple changes can make a world of difference when you are in a funk or creatively blocked – maybe that means a new coat of paint, an out of the ordinary date night, or something as simple as tidying up and setting out a vase of flowers.”
