Firstly, I love your posts soo much!!

Maybe it is the effect of pluto and sun transiting the Aquarius!! that I have an idea..just hear me out.

I wish there were some free open astrology forums that helped people by telling them one positive life event that individual can look forward to based on their charts.

In fact, it would be so nice if the predictive astrology could start offering predictions about more positive events to look forward to such that it becomes slightly easy to bear with what's happening at the present.

Just saying...

Are Predictions Important in Astrology?

I appreciate your message, and it is an excellent time to talk about my perspective on the subject.

I am not a fan of predictive Astrology. I say this as a person who completely understands how it is to feel such despair that you feel like you can't go on another second without having the assurance that your life will get better soon. That's also why people turn to more abstract means of divination, such as tarot.

However, these tools should be used to understand the flow of your life and what your current growth path is about. They're not a take out menu that you pick from. Insistence on predictions has caused many astrologers to be treated very instrumentally. Some people think a psychic is someone who's supposed to just deliver the version of the future that the client is going to like to hear. "you will get married in a year and it will be a June wedding" yeah right lol.

I know many good astrologers. I have yet to see even the best ones I know make a single accurate prediction. When events such as death, loss or illnesses in my family were happening, it was always a surprise. We're not supposed to know such things. Fun fact, my psychic abilities were tingling, up to a year ahead even, but I always ignored them in key moments.

I will explain it to you through an example. My mother died prematurely when I was barely out of high school. She was a single mother, and her death put me on the outs with the rest of my family, that showed their true colours in a difficult situation. It was a shock to everyone because she was very physically healthy and fit, and way too young to die and yet it happened.

A year before her death, she left me alone for the summer in the condo where I grew up with her. I was working in my hometown at that time, in between college semesters, and she found an extra paid summer job with some of our family members that live abroad. It was the first time in my life, that I was without her for that long, and to be frank, I loved the independence, like any very young person does when you let them "off the leash". I remember very clearly the day she left. We used to have family pictures taped to a glass door on a living room cabinet. My grandfather was an avid photographer and we always had plenty of photos with him around. One of the pictures was a close up of my eyes. Because the glass cabinet was positioned close to the living room window, the sun was always streaming in on it. That can cause discoloration in printed photos. On that day, the picture of my eyes had the sun leave long marks on it in such a way, that they looked like tears.

I believe this to be the strongest psychic experience I've ever had, even though I still had years of spiritual learning ahead of me at that point. Because upon seeing that picture, I knew my mom was going to die, and that it was going to cause grief in my life, even though it took over a year for that prediction to come true. I never told anyone about it, and never took that feeling seriously.

Why? Because it was so unbelievable. Because logic was against it. Because I had my own personal feelings and egoic consciousness, that had completely different feelings and desires about my life circumstances. And because it wasn't yet the time of my life when I was mature enough to treat my spiritual journey seriously.

And that is how it was meant to be at the time. Looking back on it now, I remember the feeling of prediction more as a moment of awareness. It was like seeing an inevitable chain of events unfold. Something in my consciousness was smart enough to be able to see so far ahead. Spiritually, I believe it was a warning from my spirit guides, and in a way a friendly one. "Get used to being alone and handling life alone for more than one summer vacation because it's soon gonna become your reality". But I couldn't take it seriously, because my mom and I were fighting a lot at that time, so missing her was not what I had in mind at all. I craved independence, and that feeling was my reality, which I took more seriously than some abstract premonition. In a way, knowing didn't really help me at all in the moment.

And that situation shows perfectly what the problem is with predictions. Human beings are limited by their egos and their flaws and their lack of perspective. That makes them reject whatever doesn't currently fit into their narrative. People don't want a real prediction. They want to hear they're going to get the cookie they're craving. Then they want it over and over and over again.

I understand my journey now, so many years after all these events. But it took so much growing up, that no prediction would ever fix.

There is always something to look forward to in life. Don't try to control it, and let it come to you. When the Universe wants to put you through a certain experience, it will, and there is nothing you can do about it.

planets through the first house

Planets through the first house

Ready for yet another astrology post? We’ll be covering the results of different planets when placed in the first house of a birth chart. Remember that astrology is super fickle and changes dramatically with sign placement, aspects and conjunctions. So without any further delay, lets get into it! Do reblog and like, it took me a lot of effort to compile my observations! Feel free to leave feedback!

Trigger warning- too many, these are just my observations. Also i didn’t proof read, so spelling mistkes could be there.

for Rahu, look at the saturn part. (north node)

for ketu, look at the mars part. (south node)

Sun in the first house-

When sun is in the first house of a birth chart, the person may be heavily influenced by their father. They may look like their father or have a similar personality. Such people tend to be perfectionists, its their way or the highway. They may have a tendency to gain weight easily, however if its in scorpio then they’ll dramatically shed it and gain it, in a loop. They are extremely magnetic people. They may deal with foreigners on a regular basis, or speak a foreign language. They may deal with the government very often and may work for the government as diplomats. They may obtain their higher education abroad. They can remain quite childlike till much older. They can be very protective of their community, traditions and religion, and aim to spread awareness about it. These people are actually rarely concerned with someone’s exterior, because often times such people have such good intuition and spiritual powers (some are literally called mystics because of this), they can literally see through someone. For this reason, they actually don’t like associating with too many people, despite having a very charming personality. These are the kind of people that keep searching for ‘the one’. People may approach them regarding projects first, and they may work for the government. They may have extremely powerful enemies, but they shall defeat them.

personality: who even knows these days . . thus , my first instinct is to scribble indecisive down. extroverted until i get super burned out , but otherwise fairly laid back. watching the world go by is a speciality of mine , it's cool to just watch people do their thing. beleiver in fate & destiny and all that jazz , maybe a little overly into tarot despite my lack of knowledge. i like to yarn about a lot of topics , usually in a conversational way instead of lecturing someone ( i hope this is the case ) but i'm ultimately a lover of language in general , stories from far and wide. loving someone from afar is a speciality , perhaps with a side peppering of commitment issues.

hobbies: music music music , whether that be listening , observing , reading , discovering . . whatever. picking up books new & old , cultivating a sense of art out of pretty things , comprehending astrology to the best of my ability , learning the greek language , taking a deep dive into character based analysis' , journalling ( when i remember ) , al pacino's filmography , spending time with my dog , rock history & actual physical rocks . . gemstone style . . if that counts as a hobby. ooh also , alien stuff ? i'm always eager to hear about ufo / space concepts , tell me everything !

likes: lava lamps *watching the goop goop * , hats of all shapes and sizes , making hyper-specific playlists for moods that come around once in a blue moon , louis theroux weird weekends , painted nails , the concept of urban exploring ( respectfully ) , green grapes & green apples , night owls as a fully fledged one myself , travelling for the sake of travelling ie. drives with no destination in my mind , the sound of rain , slow talk-y rambles and finally , a perfectly timed and co-ordinated 'your mum' joke

dislikes: my own aforementioned talk-y rambles when they go astray , confrontation , the complete dark , those with a high level of entitlement , headaches that just won't seem to be shaken , sharp noises , lack of general manners ( or those lacking in kindness ), any form of arithmetic , rough surfaces , for the most part : attempts to group people rather than viewing individuals in a case by case basis , reading the rules of any game.

anything extra: i have adhd ? no surprises there , so a level of compassion towards that would be nice from my hypothetical partner. on another entirely seperate note , i have no tattoos but think they're pretty groovy.

i ship you with...

jonathan byers!

how you met: through eddie!! eddie and you are kind of the twins of chaos. you’ve been friends for YEARS and everyone always kind of expected you two to get together, but just like robin and steve, you’re platonic with a capital p. no matter how much you love eddie, he’s just not your type. anyway, the sexually ambiguous six (the fruity four plus jonathan and argyle, that’s just my name for them) were hanging out one day and eddie realized he left his wallet at your house. you brought it over to the byers house to drop it off for him and jonathan was the one who answered the door. it was very much a cliche, ADORABLE meeting between you two, where he could barely say a word and was just staring until you spoke and knocked him out of it. wanting to get to know you more, he invited you in to hang out with everyone.

his first impression of you: for lack of a better term, jonathan met you and immediately wanted to study you. everything about you was just fascinating. your mannerisms, your interests, your sense of humor, the way you can talk deeply about any topic, your music taste, your love for culture and history and the world. not to mention, you looked like a priceless work of art yourself. he was just instantly drawn in by you and that interest has not wavered for a SECOND since you met.

how you got together: jonathan had been hyping himself up for a while to ask you out, but he hadn’t yet because he wanted everything to be PERFECT. he just felt like he couldn’t come up with a good enough way to ask you out. one day, the sexually ambiguous six (plus you) were hanging out and you went upstairs to get some water and the other five CORNERED jonathan and asked him all about when you guys were going to finally get together. he turned bright red and explained his dilemma about not thinking anything he said or did would be good enough. eddie immediately cut him off and said that you would love anything he came up with. jonathan shrugged and started rambling about just how perfect and fascinating and adorable you were and about how he thought he might not be good enough or interesting enough for you. what he didn’t realize was that, while he was saying all this, you had come back downstairs and were standing behind him listening to it all. jonathan only realized when he finished talking and looked up to see everyone grinning and staring behind him. he looked back and felt dread just FLOOD his body, and put his head in his hands right away. the other five quickly all made excuses to go upstairs and passed by you, each patting your back on the way. you came into the basement after and tilted jonathan’s head up, smiling at him and said that that was just about the most perfect way he could ask you. surprised, he raised an eyebrow and started to say something, but you cut him off with a kiss <3

what he likes most about you: jonathan thinks that your knowledge of the world is just fascinating. you seem to know a little bit about everything and he LOVES seeing how passionate you get. not to mention that you being knowledgeable and interested in everything gives you a way to connect with basically every person you meet. jonathan loves seeing you meet someone new and then within a matter of minutes you’re having a deep discussion about one of their interests. he especially loves how much you’re able to bond with will and he thinks it’s super sweet and endearing seeing you guys hit it off. you always find a way to make everyone feel loved and valued and it’s one of his favorite things about you. physically, jonathan loves your eyes and the incredibly cool makeup you do.

what you enjoy doing together: every saturday, you guys switch off and plan a surprise date for the other. in the past, you’ve gone bowling, roller skating, thrifting, hiking, berry-picking, to old bookstores, you name it, and you two have done it. these saturdays are always something you look forward to, but your most favorite one was a saturday the day after you two had been out to a party the night before, and you were both incredibly tired. it was jonathan’s turn to pick out a date, and, sensing that you both needed a rest, his date plan was you two staying at his house, watching his lava lamp, listening to music, AND he let you paint his nails, which you had been begging him for forever to let you do. it was the perfect day.

bonus headcanon: as you know, you're best friends with eddie munson, and jonathan gets a little jealous and sad occasionally. BUT you're able to reassure him so it's all okay :) not to mention he gets super cuddly and clingy when he worries so you get extra snuggles out of it <3

Kim Taehyung in Romance:

*These general readings are meant to be just that, very general. How a person acts in a relationship will be dependent on many factors and most people are likely to act differently depending on who they're with to some degree or another in any kind of relationship, romantic or not. This is just a light, general overview with a focus on the members core personality traits / tendencies when it comes to romance.

Are you seeing what I'm seeing? We got the 2 of cups here, we got the 10 of cups here, we got the 10 of pentacles, and we got the star! Why not every love and marriage card just come out and call it a day? Where to even begin... Ok...

So let's start with the tarot... I wanna say straight off the bat that I don't necessarily think Tae is like this... Yet. Like I definitely get a vibe of this being him in the future when he finally has a serious long term relationship... While I was shuffling, other cards were flipping over and peeking out that were giving me an altogether quite different impression than what finally came through with this reading and honestly I had to shuffle for a long time for him and eventually had to make the question really clear... WHAT IS HE LIKE WHEN HE'S IN Love??? before the cards were ready to be clear with me in return cause... Honestly the way I was starting to feel before was like??? Is this guy about free love?? Is he really that kind of hippy bohemian??? What is going on??? Loll But seriously, I don't think this guy actually has had a real serious relationship yet... Like, I get the vibe that he's a free spirit and a huge flirt (like his bestie) but I don't think he takes it further than that very much. Let's leave it at that...

So on to the actual reading! 2 of cups and ten of cups paired up... So that is pretty clear to me. When this guy falls in love, really in love, he immediately starts thinking about marriage and kids. Like, let him fall deep and that on his brain instantly. The ten of pentacles also making an appearance also hammers this home. This guy not only thinks emotionally or passionately about getting married and starting a family, but he thinks about the practicalities too.

The 9 of wands paired with the 10 of pentacles here lets me know that while this does quickly come to his head when he falls in love, he is very practical and guarded and cautious at the same time... He'll be careful about who he chooses to marry for sure. Note that the 9 of pentacles in this deck features what seems to be a couple sneaking off for a private rendezvous out in nature... I think this could be representing Tae needing to be guarded, protective, and sneaking away to private places when he meets the one for sure... I also think it's saying that when he finally gets married and starts a family with this person he will be very protective of them and his kids... Maybe he will buy a family home in a remote / private / secret location... Hmm seems like he will maybe make his home base be somewhere quite private, secure and far away in very lush natural surroundings...

Then we have the Tower and the Star paired... I mean... Wow. I gotta stress again, I think this reading is telling me about the future and about a very specific situation / relationship that he will experience... This hasn't happened yet but when it does it will hit him like a bolt from the blue... He'll fall in love very quickly and feel like it's his destiny to be with this person. The Star card in this deck also shows what looks to be a couple up on their roof stargazing together... In fact 4 of these cards actually show couples, the 20 of cups shows a family of deer (but we know it's one of the big love and marriage cards) and even the Tower shows two small figures falling from the top after being mutually struck by the lightning... No wonder he's so quick to start planning the wedding!

Now the archetype cards I pulled really show me an interesting dichotomy of Tae's character as a lover... On one hand, we have the card Dilettante which gives me a real youthful, free spirited vibe... A return of that more scattered, freedom loving energy I got at the start... This energy gives me the impression that, even deeply in love, Tae values freedom and flexibility... The ability to pursue multiple interests, ideas, hobbies, travels... Even maybe to continue being quite flirty with other people... He could easily seem capricious and flighty to some I'd imagine. On the other hand, there's this real weighty, solemn and serious energy coming through with Messiah and... Get this... The God card! So yeah, I think something about Tae is very commanding and commands reverence and respect. There's a lot of maturity to this energy so... Again... I'm feeling this is him in the future. I think he will grow into a real 'man of the house' type and be veryyy respected as a leader in this relationship coming to him... It's very interesting this mix of very youthful, light energy and then this sheer power! I also am feeling a strong spiritual leadership coming through here and that reinforces the vibe I keep getting that Tae will continue to grow in his spirituality and his spiritual beliefs will be solidifying.

With the oracle cards I pulled I'm just feeling a reinforcing of these messages really... The 'Getting to know each other' card feels to me like despite being hit by the bolt of love at first sight, Tae is pretty sensible at heart and will indeed make a point of trying to learn as much about his love as possible before jumping head first into anything... This card almost has an interview vibe to me lol... Like an interview for marriage... I'm sensing this is true for both parties... And even their families will be involved in this assessment I think. I think a lot of eyes will be watching in general... Makes sense why he wants to escape to his secret place...

The Spring card with the bunny... See your seeds grow... Asdgjlgdafbklkhhj... Do I even need to explain?... Um so yeah, this dude really is thinking about kids early OK... It'll be on his mind once he starts taking a relationship seriously for sure. He'll be imagining seeing his seeds grow... An additional message here is that I see that he will put in the effort to make his relationships work... You reap what you sow essentially...

The Rainbow Blessings card makes me think of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow... Tae can seem like that. In his relationships he will shower his lover with the spoils of his abundance... I think lavish gifts are his love language... That's how he'll comfortably express how much someone means to him, by showing it with his wealth. I'm definitely seeing that, being with him, you won't need to worry about money... He's very abundant and prosperous. I also see that he himself is like a blessing raining on one's life. To get all soft for a sec... He has many colours to his personality but all are precious in their own way and it's a great fortune to share one's life with him...

So yeah... Wow... Again, I really think this is more about future Tae than present Tae (who I kinda get the feeling is probably pretty inexperienced in relationships at this point... Just getting that vibe), but he certainly gets a love story in a future!

Tarot and Books: TOP 10 Books on Tarot for Beginners that Will Help You Become a Professional FAST

It’s not a secret that nowadays, many start their Tarot journey by watching YouTube videos, Instagram IGTVs and Reels and simply reading posts on the internet or social media.

Are the books dead then?

They are absolutely not.

While all mentioned above provides with an enormous amount of information, this knowledge should not replace a proper education that includes courses and literature.

As someone who spent approximately 100 hours on educational COURSES ONLY, studying from various professional across the globe, I can still say that when I read a good book on Tarot, some aspects are mind blowing and eye opening.

At this time, there are so many different books available to purchase, both hard copy and electronical. Some give away their books and guides for free, while others come up with beautiful Tarot decks in addition to their published work.

What I’m really trying to say here is that for a beginner it will be difficult to figure out which book is worth investing in and which one is a waste of money.

For example, does a beginner need “The Complete Book of Tarot Reversals” by Mary Greer? What about “365 Tarot Spreads: Revealing the Magic in Each Day” by Sasha Graham? Does a beginner really need all these spreads when they are just starting out getting familiar with the energy of the cards?

Let’s figure it all out.

Does A Beginner Tarot Reader Need to Read Educational Books?

Of course, educational Tarot literature is necessary for beginners, especially those who are barely familiar with Major Arcana Tarot cards meanings. You need to understand key symbols, variations of interpretations and combinations.

On the other hand, here is something you need to be mindful of: nowadays SO MANY Tarot readers and authors start writing books based on their own PERSONAL views, interpretations and “author’s created techniques and methods” that sometimes they start to deviate from traditional card meanings and interpretations.

Is it good or bad?

Neither, really. When you advance in Tarot, you will start feeling each card in your own way and may also see some aspects slightly differently and that’s quite normal. BUT for a beginner it’s just not good at all.

When you are just being introduced to the world of Tarot, I always suggest that you stick to the classics. You just can’t go wrong with a traditional Tarot deck and a few good books to support your education.

RELATED POSTS: TAROT FOR BEGINNERS: HOW TO BECOME A GOOD TAROT READER: My 3 Tips for Beginner Tarot Readers

Author’s opinion can certainly broaden horizons, improve and stroke your imagination, and really explain how the traditional meaning of the card can be expanded.

On the other hand, some beginners that don’t want to invest in proper education, may take this “point of view” as the holy truth and the only way to interpret the card.

As a result, their readings will be of poor quality and it will take time for them to understand why.

It’s important to mention that some of the books that come as a package with a Tarot deck are a true masterpiece and also a must-have when you are working with their deck. And truly, in my humble opinion, you should only buy a deck that comes with such book and not the teeny tiny black and white book that gets lost in your drawer.

Lastly, I’ll say that the best and most perfect Tarot book is the one that ignites your imagination, inspires you to learn and practice, and really helps you to believe in your abilities and trust your intuition.

What Types of Tarot Books Will You Find on The Market?

Before I give you the list of my Top Tarot books, let me explain to you what you can learn from them.

Tarot literature should be divided in the following categories:

· “Base” Books: these are your “must read” books that will help you to understand the cards well and really feel each card. They will contain practical examples and advice, as well as useful spreads with guidelines. These are the Tarot books I will be focusing on below in this Blog post.

· “Additional” Books: these Tarot books provide with additional materials to improve and deeper understand Tarot from all the different angles, mystical and occult studies.

Some examples would include numerology, Kabbala, astrology, reversed Tarot cards, Tarot and Ritual Magic, as well as some author’s unique techniques for using Tarot. An example could be creating a psychological portrait of a person using Tarot cards.

These are definitely NOT must haves for Tarot beginners but you can selectively purchase them later on based on your interests and also gaps in your knowledge.

I included reversed Tarot cards in this section because MANY Tarot readers, myself included, do not read cards reversed. It is absolutely not a must and you can give quality readings just the same without reading reversals. In fact, I’ve noticed that they tend to scare the beginners off from learning Tarot because people find them confusing.

· Literature That Comes With a Deck: this is something I have already briefly touched on in this Blog post. These books are written by a person that created a Tarot deck and wishes to make sure that a person using it, understands where they are coming from and should the meaning deviate from the original, it would be explained in a great detail why and what it means for you.

RELATED POSTS: TAROT FOR BEGINNERS: STARTING WITH BASICS. HOW TO CHOOSE A TAROT DECK that is right for YOU.

A good example of this is using Tarot: Journey into Egypt Tarot deck that is absolutely gorgeous and one of my favorites. This deck is definitely NOT suitable for beginners. Not only there are variations of card meanings based on the history of Ancient Egypt, the creator of the deck chose to switch Fire and Air elements in Wands & Swords suites and this dramatically changes how you would read the elements energy in a spread.

What Are Some of The Best Tarot Books for Beginners?

I want to just put it out there: these are some of MY PERSONAL TOP books for beginners and some Tarot readers may disagree with me and have their own list.

I trust that you have read some of my other blogs or have been following me on Instagram for a while to really establish a connection and understand what type of a Tarot Reader I am.

“The Key to the Tarot” which was later expanded and republished as “The Pictorial Key to the Tarot” by Arthur Edward Waite

These books are mentioned first because most people start their Tarot journey using a traditional Rider-Waite Tarot deck.

The book "The Key to the Tarot" describes symbolical and divination meanings for Rider-Waite Tarot deck and they are offered by the creator of the deck himself.

This really is the SOURCE for your Rider-Waite Tarot studies and a Tarot beginner should never skip this book because no one can give you better information than the creator.

Whether you are going to use Tarot for divination, meditation or magical and ritual work, this is your NUMBER 1 BOOK.

"The Holy Kabbalah" by Arthur Edward Waite

Now, IF you are planning on sticking with Rider-Waite deck for some time and work as a professional Tarot reader with clients, you should really consider "The Holy Kabbalah" book.

You probably heard people ditching this deck because it is highly "kabbalistic,” but this is some very powerful and ancient stuff and you really need to consider this before you switch this deck for some rainbows and unicorns.

This book by Arthur Waite is a very rich in information and well documented source. 

"The Ultimate Guide to the Rider Waite Tarot" Book by Evelin Burger and Johannesburg Fiebig

This book is my absolute favourite companion to this day. I have mentioned it before in my other blog post because I am so in love with it, I feel like it is worth preaching about it again and again.

I was actually quite hesitant to purchase it.

It was my FIRST Tarot book and I bought it together with my first deck! So, here it is my absolute beginner book suggestion from a perspective of a beginner!

I have no regrets about purchasing it. I referred to it a thousand times while I was studying cards and here is why.

It was always my goal to become a professional. And I believe that as a professional you need to know your cards inside out.

And you can’t really do this without understanding properly WHAT IS ON THOSE CARDS!

What does the tree mean? What about a blue colour? Is this an astrological symbol?

You NEED to know these things! Because this blue colour or astrological symbol of Venus repeat thought the deck and unite the cards that contain them.

You will be able to truly know your deck when you know those symbols. And it’s the same thing with any deck. If you go with Thoth Tarot, you will need to spend some time learning about Alchemy because this was Crowley’s thing. And if you want to use Rider-Waite deck, you will need to learn his techniques and methods.

In this case, this book is your best friend.

The book gives a short description for each important element of the Tarot card. It also gives a short basic meaning of the card AND its meaning as a card of the day which is amazing because most beginners start to practice Tarot by pulling their daily card and journaling it.

Lastly, which I think is great, is that it gives Tarot card’s meaning in love and relationship. And let’s be real, relationship questions comprise 70% of all Tarot reading, if not more.

"Secrets of the Waite-Smith Tarot: The True Story of the World's Most Popular Tarot" by Marcus Katz

This book is considered to be one of the best on the market for Rider-Waite Tarot.

From this book we can learn more about the lives of Pamela Smith (the artist of the deck) and Arthur Waite.

Just when I started reading this book, I could already feel so immersed in the world of Waite's Tarot. The author of this book did an incredible research job to put all this information together.

This book has it all, from descriptions of each Arcana and examples of spreads and understanding how to use them, to the lives of two great people that gave us the most used Tarot deck of all time.

You will really feel being a part of the wonderful world of Tarot after reading this book.

“21 Ways to Read a Tarot Card” by  Mary K Greer

Mary K Greer has come with a truly unique and wonderful method that gives you 21 ways to interpret each Tarot card.

Just as the Fool travels through “The Journey of the Hero”, the author offers anyone to join the journey and experience the transformational power of Tarot.

You will learn the mysteries and wisdom of Major Arcana and live through the cards to deeply connect with them and understand their true meanings.

Mary K. Greer shares her personal and unique knowledge and approach to Tarot that in turn will help you to get the answers to the most important questions using Tarot cards.

What is most encouraging is how she  really draws out from your heart all those hidden negative patterns and emotions and guides you on how to turn them into positivity and growth.

The author also helps you to create your own new reality and encourages you that no matter where you are right now in your life, you can always start your journey again from scratch and accomplish your goals.

To sum up, the book will teach you the following:

· How to create and maintain a Tarot journal properly (throughout the years of my work with Tarot beginners, I have noticed that many start Tarot journals but don’t seem to go through with them for a long time).

· It will teach you the author’s own method of learning each card and obtaining additional information when necessary that still is applicable for your traditional cards use.

· The book will provide you with rather novel ways and methods of Tarot spreads interpretations.

· It will really broaden and deepen your understanding of each card which in turn will help you to interpret combinations better.

I personally think that this book is a real gift to those trying to become good Tarot readers from the start, but also to those who want to improve the quality of their own life and relationships with others.

The book of Mary K Greer 21 “Ways to Read a Tarot Card” is not only about studying the cards, like most others, it’s also about how to transform your life with Tarot.

And, honestly, lately I have seen a lot of beginner Tarot Instagram profiles of people trying to use Tarot to get through trauma, loss and challenges. But people tend to give up quickly because all they do is read cards daily for themselves and if this is all you do, trust me, you will get bored quickly.

This book will help you on this journey and will teach you how to use Tarot for transformation, growth and happiness.

Tarot for the Healing Heart: Using Inner Wisdom to Heal Body and Mind by Christine Jette

The book focuses on the utilization of your inner wisdom to heal your mind and body.

It is a very powerful book written by a nurse with 30+ years of work experience, bachelor in Psychology and a professional energy healer and a Tarot reader.

Wow don’t you think she’d have a lot to tell??

Because she definitely does.

Her focus is using Tarot cards for healing and, in particular self-healing.

So often I see people trying to use Tarot to overcome trauma, to heal their body and soul and they just struggle to figure out how to do this.  

While I mentioned Mary K. Greer teaching somewhat similar things in her book, this one really expands the subject of healing.

The symbology of Tarot carries the healing messages that can activate and kick start self-healing processes in your body, ultimately guiding you to becoming whole again. And feeling whole is what paves a path to healing.

And in this book, healing process is divided into 4 levels by the 4 Suites of Minor Arcana in Tarot: physical (Pentacles), emotional (Cups), psychological (Swords) and spiritual (Wands).

By using symbology and Tarot spreads provided, you will be able to get information on which level is blocked and what you need to do to lift this block and allow energy to flow freely again.  

“Tarot Tips” by Ruth Ann Amberstone, Wald Amberstone

This books is very unique in a way that it’s is more of a Q&A writing style.

The Authors Ruth Ann Amberstone and Wald Amberstone at this time have over 70 years of Tarot experience and are founders of The Tarot School.

The Tarot Tips books is composed of techniques and methods of work with Tarot cards. It contains information and very clear answers to 78 real questions that were asked by the Tarot readers from the various Tarot schools and backgrounds.

It will be equally beneficial to a beginner and an advanced Tarot practitioner.

If you are a beginner, the book will give you some incredible insights, ideas and recommendations on how to use Tarot.

This wraps up my list for some MUST have Tarot books that every Tarot beginner should read.

Thoth Tarot Books

Of course, it’s necessary to mention Thoth Tarot, particularly for those who are starting with it their Tarot journey. While I myself don’t recommend this, I have met those who used Thoth Tarot deck from the very beginning. There are way too many books on Thoth Tarot, so I want to tell you which ones I do AND do not recommend.

Recommend:

“The Book of Thoth” by Aleister Crowley

It is always best to start with the book written by a person who created the deck. Even though not all deck creators are the best writers and the books can be tedious and, at times, difficult to follow, you should still give them a chance. You should also check out other books by Crowley because he really was an incredible person. 

"Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot" by Lon Milo DuQuette

This is also a very good work and is absolutely worth a purchase. The book gives cards descriptions and elements that Crowley added or changed based on his vision and work he’s been doing during his life.

Books I do NOT recommend:

“Tarot: Mirror of the Soul: Handbook for the Aleister Crowley Tarot” Book by Gerd Ziegler

“Keywords for the Crowley Tarot” Book by Brigitte Theler and Hajo Banzhaf

These books I would recommend to avoid amongst others “best sellers” for Thoth Tarot, due to the many inaccuracies and wrong interpretations. I don’t blame some of the authors. Thoth Tarot is not easy to understand and not everything was explained by Crowley himself, but you can clearly see that some people haven’t even tried.

"Tarot and Astrology: Enhance Your Readings With the Wisdom of the Zodiac" Book by Corrine Kenner

I want to also suggest you a few books that I would include into my "Additional literature" section because if you want to really dedicate your time to study Tarot on a professional level, sooner or later you will get into other aspects that are integral parts of divination.

Astrology has a very big influence on Tarot and I think Corrine Kenner has done an amazing job to put everything together for the reader.

The book starts with Astrology basics with regards to Tarot but also talks about the twelve signs of zodiac and the planets.

I personally offer 12 Houses of Astrology Tarot reading every year in December and it's always a huge success because it is an extremely informative and fun reading, so a book like this helped me to connect even deeper with Astrology.

Some actually use Astrological aspects of Tarot to predict and plan dates, so if that's something you are interested in, this book will also be very helpful for you.

Bonus Book 📚✨

"Understanding The Tarot Court" Book by Mary K. Greer and Tom Little

Lastly, I want to include this book because we all know that Courts cards tend to be the most difficult to understand and interpret in a Tarot reading.

While some think that Court cards solely describe a specific person, the authors of this book give a suggestion on how to use these 16 cards as a tool to describe different variations and sides of personalities of the querent and people in their life.

Whichever method you choose to follow, this book has a massive amount of information and will definitely make your Tarot journey so much easier.

comic idea-Magicks (based off my notes of course)

basic break down

B-Mei gets found out as being a half-demon and magnhilds daughter (she's a huge deal) and is taken by zalgo and p much is now stuck in the underrealm and goes to the Institute, she befriended ms.p, ben, jeff, kagekao and eyeless jack (in that order) and is struggling to adjust to her new life while being under the constant watchful eye of zalgo and his council

M-After adjusting to her new life her main goal is to graduate from the Institute and learn magick from strong witches (like ms.p), she also meets sheila in her magick shop after finding out she was one of her mothers friends. Mei’s new goal becomes figuring out who her moms were, and how does Lila fit in with her family while maintaining her studies and her friends, it’ll be hard but she won’t give up

E- probs won’t be one, i’ll pull a homestuck >:)) (or lose interest and disappear from the internet)

friends/allies: Ms.p became a close friend of hers after finding out about their love for magick and that shes magnhilds daughter. Ben mostly because of p, jeff met her through ms.p (he and ben aren’t really on talking terms) she met kagekao bc of jeff and now he mostly whisk her away on boring days, jack isn’t so much a friend but more of an ex-soldier that admired her mother, he’s someone she can rely on if she’s in trouble or needs help (possible love interest for when she’s an adult??)

my interpretation of magick: i can’t really get into “black magick” or “white magick” to me magick is a neutral spectrum, its not good or bad it entirely depends on how someone uses it. Only a few people (like 1 or 3 a year) are born with the ability to use magick. Magick is absolutely powerful af and can be used for literally anything. The only reason witches haven’t taken over is bc zalgo keeps witches in check, he really doesn’t care if they go around killing people just as long as it isn’t the entire human race. If a witch gets out of control zalgo usually imprisons them and “reprimands” them for a few hundred years and lets them go knowing full well they won’t do anything stupid again (the only reason he doesn’t kill them is bc there was a huge witch shortage, practical extinction of witches and he needs to keep the numbers going up instead of down) so everything works out perfectly. Spells are usually only five to 10 words long, witches like keeping things simple. Potions don’t need stuff like “dragon fangs” or any weird stuff like that, they usually consist of stuff like blood, plants, body parts (human/animal) and different kinds of gemstones, plants and gems have their own magickal properties. All different kinds of gems and stones have magickal properties/value/abilities but only magick users can use/recognize them. They can do all sorts of different things from calming anxiety/fear to giving a magick users spells extreme boost. Witches usually keep together in covens to help young witches control their magick and teach them everything a young witch needs to know. Every witch usually settles with one “type” of magick, like animal magick, fire magick, water magick, colour magick..etc..etc. Most witches tamper around with different types until they figure out what kind they like the most or connect with. All witches can use any type of magick but most choose to limit themselves bc it’s easier. When a witch tries to tamper with all kinds of magick instead of settling down with one type they have a very high chance of becoming a sorceress or sorcerer, those usually happen every few kiloyears.

Witches can’t die, once a person uses magick it’s stuck with them for life, magick is like art. The more you use it the stronger it gets and it sort of wraps around you in a “cocoon”. Witches, when harmed go into a standby state and their magick protects them until someone (ever) comes and heals them but witches can’t get hurt by things like colds, diseases or broken bones. The 2 main things that can put a witch in their standby state is either water or fire.

theres my interpretation, it's pretty boring bc im picky as heck about about magick mostly bc finding good ya books about witchcraft is hard, this one had that witches could only use magick if they had wands, very disappointing. Another one said they could only cast spells if they were wearing a bracelet with gemstones. Bleh. Matchmaker magick??? just making people fall in love or connecting soulmates, its cool but i’m more interested in spellcasting, demon summoning and potion making, finding good witchcraft ya is hhhaaaarrrrddd, my book taste are soooo picky and its agonizing. I just don’t really like the whole “everyone is born with one type of magick” i like when they can do literally whatever they want but choose to do one type of magick, it’s just more interesting to me. Tarot cards and other witch-y stuff will be involved once i learn more about it.

It’s late so I’ll do his Bio later but. Aleer and his friend, “Mr. Demon”

Bio/design notes are now under the cut!

Name: Aleer

Age: 12-13 (He Smol)

Origin World: Lyuhx

Hometown: Nohxe

Tarot Card: The Sun

Abilities: Retrocognition, Mediumship

Hobbies: Despite being very blind, he enjoys making little arts and crafts, as well as painting and colouring. He keeps all of his supplies immaculately organized and his sister, Talaitha, told him which colour was where so he can pick which he wants. Though he has some memory of what colours look like, he associates colours mostly with feelings and tactile sensations, and believes he can communicate his emotions more fluidly based on what colour he uses even though he can’t actually see the end result. Along with his slight obsession over colour-feeling representation, his creations tend to be very tactile in nature, as they’re far easier for him to enjoy than something purely visual. 

Personality: A Sweet Summer Child, not yet burdened by the anxiety and insecurity of teendom, Aleer is mostly concerned about his sister’s well being, as well as staying way the fuck away from his parents and the law academy they had enrolled him in.  Soft spoken and something of a wallflower, he tries not to get too involved with those around him, and any amount of prolonged social interaction (especially at his job) tires him out quickly. 

Backstory: Born with a slight sight impairment and a talent for retrocognition, Aleer’s parents decided to speed the process along and blind him themselves, enrolling him in a state law program to reap the benefits of it. Although the people of Lohkexe believe that the blind are natural oracles and thus suited for power, Aleer quickly learned that this is mostly false. The fact that he could actually see the past soon became an issue among his peers, and would have landed him in trouble had his older sister Talaitha not rescued him from it by technically kidnapping him (Does it count as kidnapping if Aleer was 100% okay with it?). Now living with his sister, he works part time at the circus she preforms with as a fortune teller. 

He at one point befriends an imp that he refers to as “Mr. Demon” (the imp doesn’t have a personal name and thus doesn’t correct him). “Mr. Demon” is probably the most benign imp possible, far preferring hanging out with this kid than being expected to mop up gore at home. He sticks around as a seeing-eye buddy. 

Outfit Notes

Judge’s Cloak: The social climate is fairly conservative, and thus most of the clothing is fully covered and hides a lot of the person’s actual shape from others. The Judge’s Cloak consists of two main portions: the larger floor-length shawl, and a smaller cape piece white reaches the back of the knee. Wit this outfit, he wears a single chain as a mark of rank, and the pattern on the shawl represents the world being upheld by the judges. 

Inner Outfit: What he wears under the Cloak, although since the populous doesn’t ever see what’s under the Cloak, no one questions him wearing it around as normal clothing (Talaitha can barely make rent, never mind buy him new clothes, so he wears the few things he brought from the academy). The designs on these pieces similarly represent the upholding of the law, as well as the high position of enlightenment held by the judges. 

Mr. Demon was designed to look like a weird cryptid-demon hybrid, somewhat based off his original design. Also, I thought the white accents looked cool, so there’s that.

Louise Bordelon

Theme song / Moodboard

 

BASIC INFORMATION

Full name: Louise Anne Bordelon Gender: Female Age: 41 Birthday: 30th June

Myers-Briggs: ENFP Zodiac: Cancer Tarot card: Nine of Wands

Nationality: American Birthplace: New Orleans, Louisiana

Sexuality: Heterosexual Relationship status: Single and proud

Occupation: Stage technician (previously a parade float mechanic, car mechanic)

 

APPEARANCE

Height: 6′4″ Weight: 210lbs

Hair: Thick, coarse and a little unruly, currently dyed bubblegum pink. Her natural hair colour is dark brown. Usually tied into a short ponytail. Eye colour: Hazel

Physical characteristics: She’s tall, broad-shouldered and bulky, with big arms, walnut skin and a flat chest. Her face is sharp and angular and she has a strip missing from one of her eyebrows, presumably from a past injury. She doesn’t care for looking ‘ladylike’ or being much of a lady at all, dressing however the hell she wants. Other traits: Louise has a few small scars on her hands and legs from various scuffles and her kickboxing. She also has some moles and beauty spots on her face, shoulders and back. Tattoos: Flowers and hummingbirds on her right arm, a flaming tiger and phoenix on her left, roses on her hands, and a dragon on her back with its tail circling around her waist.

Clothes: At work she wears a spaghetti strap tank top and denim coveralls, which she keeps rolled down to her waist when she’s not doing repairs that require her arms to be covered. At other times she likes baggy cargo pants, studded jackets and brightly coloured tops which often have rude slogans on them.

 

TRAITS

Personality: Louise is brash, confident and has no qualms about voicing her opinions, even if no one particularly wants to hear them. She hates people who are all talk and no action and when something needs doing, she’ll roll up her sleeves and get her hands dirty. She’s not one to back down from a fight and is always ready to stand up for herself and those she cares about. Louise loves to take risks and to get out there and try something new, and can be counted on to go straight for the biggest, scariest rollercoaster first.

Motives: Life is too short to be wasted, and Louise believes in living it to the fullest. But even she can’t run from guilt and regrets, and her mistakes weigh heavily on her as she seeks a way to shrug off the shadow of Holyhead and roam free again. She can see what the place is doing to her friends, and for the first time in her life she knows how it feels to be a caged bird, trapped and unable to keep the world from falling down around her.

Values: Freedom is a personal, sacred tenet for Louise, closely followed by speaking the truth—both to others, and to herself. She strongly believes that problems should be faced head on, risks should be taken, and bullies brought down. After all, the world is full of people who don’t care, and making a difference starts with you.

Fears: She’s terrified of the thought of failing to protect those she loves the ways she’s failed the theatre staff. This manifests in an at times overbearing ‘mom friend’ mentality. She’s also afraid of losing her money, her safety net if she ever gets out of town, and bases a lot of her self worth around the quality of her friendships.

Weaknesses: She likes to speak her mind and often offends people, whether she means to or not. Her stubbornness and hot head often land her in trouble, and when they do she refuses to back down. Once crossed, she tends to regard the offender as irredeemable and won’t give them a second chance again.

Quirks: Louise likes to come up with annoying nicknames for all her friends. She also peppers her speech with Cajun French, sometimes switching to speaking in it entirely. She talks with her hands and gestures a lot, and tends to clatter around and make noise when angry.

  STRENGTHS AND SKILLS

Skills: Louise has strong mechanical and fabrication skills. She’s had to mock up replacement suit components for the characters several times when there’s been delays from the manufacturers. She’s also very good with electronics, knows how to break and open a wide variety of locks and security systems, and trained in first aid. She’s very fit and strong and a formidable fighter.

Hobbies: Louise likes to sing and dance, and doesn’t care whether people are looking or not. She enjoys kickboxing, plays for a women’s football team occasionally, and enjoys amateur photography when she’s not doing sports. She makes her own costumes for Halloween and for geek conventions.

 

OTHER FACTS

Favourite music: Punk rock, industrial, death metal. She loves Nine Inch Nails. Favourite films: Alien, Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Silence of the Lambs, Predator, Jurassic Park, anything with awesome makeup and practical effects Favourite food: Bacon, bagels, french bread, coffee, ginger beer, sour candy Favourite animal: Hummingbirds Favourite colour: Her favourite colour is actually emerald green, not pink, as much as her hair says otherwise. Pink is her second favourite colour. Likes: Bright colours, kids, exciting places, loud music, vinyl records, sour and spicy food Dislikes: People being indecisive, people who don’t do any work themselves, having nothing to do, when people knowingly put others in danger

Misc. info: Louise and Mike play in a garage band together, though have trouble keeping four members

 

ALTERNATE VERSES

Superhuman: Louise goes by the name Forge, and has the ability to spontaneously fabricate simple objects out of concrete, stone and metal. Victorian Gothic: Dead in the Water: Every captain has a first mate. Louise is Mike’s, and does all she can to keep him from slipping deeper into dark waters. She’s seen more than her fair share of souls destroyed by the sea, and hopes that his can still be saved. Swords and Sorcery: A blacksmith and engineer by trade, Louise is good at fixing whatever her ragtag band of adventurers break. That doesn’t mean she isn’t good at breaking a few things herself, and likes to remind their enemies of that with her enormous crossbow. Gotta Catch Em All: Louise is a gym leader who specialises in poison types, and encourages all who come to train in her gym to be confident and believe in their own capabilities. Blood and Wine: Louise is a perfectly legitimate businesswoman, making perfectly legitimate horseshoes and doornails. The whole ‘booze running with Mike and letting him hide it in the cellar under her workshop’ thing is just a hobby. Behind the Lines: Louise could have made a pretty penny turning over the battered group of soldiers she found sleeping in her barn one night. It’s fortunate, then, that she has a vested interest in smuggling POWs out of France. Apocalypse Now: Squabbles in the wasteland tend to involve bullets. Lucky for them, there’s one person dedicated to preserving the lost art of making stuff go boom.
