Osho Zen Tarot DeckÂ
 I pulled this card and found it so moving, I wanted to share it with you!  This deck was newly gifted to me and I am just diving into its beauty.
 “The bird pictured on this card is looking out from what seems to be a cage. There is no door, and actually the bars are disappearing. The bars were an illusion, and this small bird is being summoned by the grace and freedom and encouragement of the others. It is spreading its wings, ready to take flight for the very first time.
The dawn of a new understanding – that cage has always been open, and the sky has always been there for us to explore – can make us feel a little shaky at first. It’s fine, and natural to be shaky, but don’t let it overshadow the opportunity to experience the light-heartedness and adventure on offer, right there alongside the shakiness. Move with the sweetness and gentleness of this time. Feel the fluttering within. Spread your wings and be free.
You are out of jail, out of the cage; you can open our wings and the whole sky is yours. All the stars and the moon and the sun belong to you. You can disappear into the blueness of the beyond… Just drop clinging to this cage, move out of the cage and the whole sky is yours. Open your wings and fly across the sun like an eagle. In the inner sky, in the inner world, freedom is the highest value – everything else is secondary, even blissfulness, ecstasy. There are thoughts ands of flowers, uncountable, but they all become possible in the climate of freedom.” — Osho Zen Tarot, St. Marten’s Press
