I asked the cards about my boo and I got… The Sun from Sun and Moon Tarot. I think he’s the one ❤️ I always see the Sun as an overwhelmingly positive card, so much that it even counteracts negativity in a reading, and this Sun features a couple, which is not common symbolism. I mean it could be friends or sisters but in tarot, what you see is what there is. That’s why it’s so powerful and why it always works. #tarot #tarotreading #cardoftheday #dailycard https://www.instagram.com/p/Cif9Io7O-Gr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Luminous Mind, Luminous Body, Luminous Spirit

It has been some time since I have publicly worked with the cards. A troubled marriage culminated in divorce, figuring out how to be a single middle aged lady with no husband, no kids at home, new connections, new career paths- those are what has kept me from writing, and honestly at times kept me from my cards. At times, I have been leery of the cards, even. They said my former husband was it,…

New Deck Interview - The Luminous Void Tarot

New Deck Interview – The Luminous Void Tarot

Happy surprise this morning when digging through my deck I discovered a treasure- The Luminous Void Tarot by Laura Zuspan, an impulse purchased in Salida, Colorado when on a trip with the man last October if you can believe that. My tarot tastes have changed, in that I was once a voracious consumer of all new decks, but now am quite discerning in what I choose to add to the collection. The…

“I want to come home,” I sighed into the wind. “Come home,” replied my cards, into whose arms I fell as they embraced me. The Lovers - Lowbrow Tarot #tarot #cardoftheday #tarotreading https://www.instagram.com/p/B16yV-kHmz6/?igshid=1aejtd8h4xhut

Somewhere along the way I forgot to do what I love. Life has become subsistence- work, eat, sleep too little, do it again. My iPhone helpfully tells me how many hours a day I average using it (lots of downtime in my work) and I don’t want to type the number but if I have that much time to look at Facebook and Reddit I have time to write, time to read, time to cast cards. What I need most right now is Love. How I get it it is by changing my approach. The result is a time of inner healing even if the outward appearance does not change. These cards are from the Zillich Tarot. #tarot #dailytarot #tarotreading https://www.instagram.com/p/BtRWp8zHxjW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w6s6rxed1u03

Well, we all knew this was gonna happen one day... I find myself in possession of a deck that lacks identifying names and I don’t remember what it is or where I got it. It’s also creepy as hell, so there’s that. There is no ISBN but a scroll through my Amazon, Kickstarter and PayPal histories fail to illuminate the matter. I never check the status of orders, either, just pay and wait for a happy surprise so I am frequently surprised when something I Kickstarted or preordered arrives. Any help would be greatly appreciated! #tarot #tarotcollector #darkdeck https://www.instagram.com/p/BpA2Q3UAP0m/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yoxfhen19bza

New Deck Interview - Twisted Tales Tarot

New Deck Interview – Twisted Tales Tarot

Today I am begin a week of work with the self published Twisted Tales Tarot, a deck conceived and illustrated by the team of Christine Aguiar and James Battersby.

I am using my faithful standby New Deck Interview spread by FireRaven found on the now read only Aeclectic Tarot Forum.

Twisted Tales Tarot

The first position reads, “Tell me about yourself. What is your most important characteristic?”…

When your oracle deck is trolling you because there is in, fact, nothing but rain today. But probably this is an allegory, in which I am to learn the lesson that with a sunny disposition and heart nothing can bring a good girl down. But I am very, very down. This too shall pass. Card from Oracle of Mystical Moments. #oracle #oraclereading #tarot #dailytarot #cardoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/BorqTZfAIqL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=drpyodmtb5m4

What do you need to relax? Really, I just need it all. Money and power and security, stability and trustworthy people around me. Not too much to ask, right? The Zillich Tarot is a Thoth based deck, and the Four of Pentacles is less a miserly hoarder in Thoth and more a powerful, driven Capricorn. An earth sign myself, I manifest a lot of the good and shadow aspects of the signs- determinedness/stubbornness, driven/materialistic, unflappable/immovable... The Tessera Oracle is addressing the upheaval I am experiencing in familial relationships and in friendships, and within myself. The Sword- Conflict The Hive- Community The Snake-Rebirth My kids are growing up and moving out. This invariably brings some conflict and stirs feelings. Someone I considered a soul mate relationship has revealed themselves to not be at all. My most important work is on hold at the moment in favor of the more lucrative work. I can’t stay who I was. I have to seek stability and be productive even as circumstances around me change. I can’t use the ebb and flow of life as an excuse anymore. The stability I crave has to exist inside of me, where no one else can ruffle it. This is the Four of Discs from the Zillich Tarot, The 90 Question Deck and The Tessera Oracle. #tarot #tarotreading #dailytarot #cardoftheday #90questiondeck #tesseraoracle #oracle #oraclereading

#theaugusttarot Day 1: Embracing a Positive Month 1- What energy is available to me this month? Ace of Wands, such an amazing card, full of potential, the source of spiritual strength, the seed of inspiration. So I have strength and creativity available to me. 2- How do I let this empower me in a positive way? Eight of Swords- ugh, this is one of THE most negative cards in the deck to me. Powerlessness is my greatest fear. I can face any hardship but I need to feel in control of my own destiny. But that need for control may be stifling my creative growth. I feel like I have to handle everything and be as perfect as possible and that literally takes up every moment of my time and drains every bit of energy. I have, as the Ace of Rods suggests, an actual fuckton of creativity, but I have written extensively about my seeming inability to focus it to any effect. Being forced to hold still and deal with the situation may offer the key to moving forward, as nonsensical as it may seem to me in this moment. 3- What is my good focus reminder of the month? Page of Wands, Three of Wands- the Page here is a messenger of the original card of the same suit, the Ace. There is something here for me to hear and see, which leads to the Three, spiritual strength and beginning to see the fruit of the efforts. This reading was shadowed by the King of Swords, who jumped out more than once. He is in full command at any moment. He reinforces the message of the Eight of Swords- my need to control my situation is stifling my creativity and true work. Creative forces are wild, and often can only be ridden, usually by holding on, closing the eyes, and trusting the process. These cards are from the Morgan Greer Tarot in a tin. #tarot #tarotreading #cardoftheday #dailytarot

What obscures your ability to see? Right from the jump, the Page of Wands is turned away from the questioning card. I willfully make the choice to not see at times. I think this Page embodies a little too perfectly both the passion I feel and the scatteredness with which I apply it. Looking off in the distance at the realization of some faraway dream but not paying attention to the here and now, the details it will take to get there. Moving on to the Tessera Oracle I have The Hourglass, The Hive, and The Mountain. The Hourglass is an exhortation to value time and have an awareness of how it affects my situation. The keywords of The Hive are community, collaboration, and gratitude, but I am also called to mind the phrase “busy as a bee” and I certainly feel a frenetic energy almost always, yet it seems to not be propelling me forward, which is likely due to The Mountain, a large and insurmountable obstacle in my path. I live in Colorado, the place where you always orient yourself by where the mountains are. I love this place, it moves through my soul and I will live nowhere else by choice. Mountains are surmountable but only with planning and care. Taking this reading as a whole, I think I fill my time with unproductive busy-ness because The Mountain seems too scary to climb. That’s certainly a choice I can make, but I need to remember that I am granted the same 24 hours in a day as everyone else and the decision on how to spend those will certainly effect where I am next week, next year, and next decade. This is a conglomeration of The 90 Question Deck, Page of Wands from Arcanum Tarot, and The Tessera Oracle. #tarot #dailytarot #oracle #tarotreading #cardoftheday #90questiondeck #tesseraoracle

The Tessera Oracle - this has to be one of the most innovative and beautifully produced oracles I have ever seen. 13 enameled diamond shapes carrying symbolic embalms can be arranged multiple ways for a reading or spell work, or strung on a chain or leather cord to carry the energy of the tile wherever you go. Just beautiful. #oracle #oraclereading #thetesseraoracle #tesseraoracle

How free is free enough? Not being a person who does anything by half measures, The Tower is an appropriate answer to this question. And the answer is, when I’ve burnt it all to the motherfucking ground... when the entanglements and illusions I’ve wrapped myself in, when the lies little and big have all fallen away, that’s when I will be free enough.

Daily Draw-

Today I am using a spread I discovered years ago on the now read-only Aecletic Tarot forum. No link because I stopped participating there long before it closed due to uh, reasons, but Google is always there for you. This spread is courtesy of the lovely Thorhammer, who I do jot know apart from the forum so I can’t give her better credit.

The Naked Heart Tarot- Seven of Pentacles, Four of Swords,…

Tarot is for everything. Today I am using it to help me stay on track with my eating plan. The first card answers the question, What will be my biggest block to staying on my eating plan today? Mother of Pentacles- this is a big one for me, being the card I most often identify as myself. I am an emotional eater, letting food be my comforter, my distraction, my escape, everything. The emotional eating is an integral part of who I am. I know this needs to change, but wow is it hard. I struggle with feelings of unworthiness and I often feel selfish in taking the time and money to prepare my food for myself. There is also a shadow side to the Queen of Pentacles reflecting laziness and complacency, both of which I definitely revert to whenever I relax. My second card, The Hermit, is the answer to how I overcome this block. I need to be patient with myself, understanding this is a lifelong journey towards wisdom, an even greater gift than the release from emotional eating. I need to be still and sit with my feelings, even the uncomfortable ones, and understand that being uncomfortable is okay. It won’t kill me. If I wait long enough the feelings may lead me to deeper understanding, but if I act immediately to alleviate them I may miss the opportunity. These cards are from The Naked Heart Tarot. #tarotreading #tarot #cardoftheday #dailytarot #tarotchallenge

New Deck Interview – The Naked Heart Tarot

Today begins a week of work with a self published deck by Jillian C. Wilde, The Naked Tarot.  This deck was originally funded via Kickstarter, and according to man emails I have received from the creator, their seems to have been some quality control issues with the first run of the deck.  The plan seems to be to release a new deck in July 2018, so this seems a good time to devote a week to…
