So it's finally happened... before spring semester starts, I'm going to do as many Tarot readings for clients as I can! 3-card readings are $6, 10-card readings are $20. So far it's been really interesting and fun doing this for y'all! I'm surprised by the stuff my intuition and connection to spirit are bringing up. I didn't really know what to expect! I'm definitely feeling the historical references; #OurTarot has reframed the cards for me.

Abigail Williams is #TheDevil. In late 17th-century colonial Massachusetts, a great tragedy occurred over the course of a year and few months in #Salem Town, Salem Village, Ipswitch, and Andover. Accusations of #witchcraft--criminal behavior at the time--flew between residents of these New England homes, often reflecting already-disputed property lines and existing family rivalries. People were charged with practicing witchcraft, arrested, and tried. In the end, twenty people were executed. Five died in prison. This particular episode of accusations and subsequent trials (known as the Salem Witch Trials) began with two girls. Betty Parris was only 9 years old, and her cousin Abigail Williams was 11. They began to have exhibit strange behavior that greatly disturbed their guardians, and soon all the elders were in agreement that these fits were caused by witchcraft, or working with the devil. In a short while, other girls and young women in the area began to have similar fits of odd behavior. As they were questioned, they accused various adults that they knew of witchcraft--often people who were already widely disliked or at the bottom of the social hierarchy. No one really knows why this happened. Personally, I think that these young women were acting out in a culture that was deeply repressive. I think they were probably grappling with some really difficult feelings and thoughts, being young women in such a time and place. I don't think Abby Williams was evil. I think she, like Eve in the biblical Book of Genesis, was a victim of circumstances and patriarchal society. I think she got caught up in the visceral emotions she was releasing through her hurtful behavior and probably couldn't stop, and neither could the other girls and women who joined in her and Betty's finger-pointing. We don't know what she looked like. In fact, she disappears from historical record a few years later. Abby as The Devil represents a #Shadow side that all of us have. #tarot #tarotcommunity #badasswomen #history #guidance #creative #feminist #illustration #collage #spirituality #spirit #tarotreadersofinstagram #artistsofinstagram #witch

I didn't know about Sister Rosetta Tharpe until I went on a search for the perfect woman to represent #TheSun in #OurTarot. Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a gospel singer and rock n' roll guitarist whose work, while not widely recognized as such, paved the way for rock n' rollers like Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, and Elvis Presley. Born in 1915 to a mother who was a musician and a preacher in her Arkansas church, Tharpe was quickly noticed by her congregation for her exceptional musical abilities. She deftly and proudly played her guitar in an era when female guitarists were rare in the public eye. Sister Rosetta Tharpe is the Sun because of the boldness, warmth, energy and faith she communicated through her music. See more Our Tarot cards on kickstarter!

Hildegard of Bingen is #thehighpriestess of #OurTarot 🌈 A 12th century Benedictine nun and abbess in Germany, Hildegard was a Jane-of-all-trades. A writer, composer, philosopher, natural scientist, artist... Oh yeah, and she had incredible #mystic #visions from which she would create inspired, #mandala like works of art. Hildegard as the High Priestess reminds us to look with not just our physical eyes, but our third eyes, into the spiritual realm. Notice the patterns there. #tarot #tarotcommunity #badasswomen #history #inspiring #guidance #creative #feminist #illustration #collage #spirituality #spirit #tarotreadersofinstagram #support #indieart #artistsofinstagram #witch #witchesofinstagram #femaleentrepeneur #girlboss #energy #thefutureisfemale #christianmysticism #mysticism #visionaryart #visionary

Maria Tall Chief was the first prima ballerina for New York City Ballet Company in 1946, and the first Native American ever to achieve that distinction. A member of the Osage Nation, Tall Chief's passionate dancing helped shape American ballet. Her brilliant drive is why she is the spark of inspiration, the Ace of Wands, in #OurTarot (link in bio) #nativeamerican #mariatallchief #bossbabe #tarot #tarotcommunity #badasswomen #history #inspiring #guidance #creative #feminist #illustration #collage #spirituality #spirit #tarotreadersofinstagram #support #indieart #artistsofinstagram #witch #witchesofinstagram #femaleentrepeneur #girlboss #mystic #crystals
