Cross-deck comparisons: Notes on the 9 of Pentacles, especially regarding the nature of “wealth” and what is asked of those to whom much is given.

I'm writing this today to compare some different versions of the 9 of Pentacles, which was my card of the week for last week. This will not be an exhaustive study of every 9 of Pentacles card in existence, or even every one of them in my collection, just a sample of some that interested … Continue reading Cross-deck comparisons: Notes on the 9 of Pentacles, especially regarding the nature of “wealth” and what is asked of those to whom much is given.

New Moon in Gemini reading…how do I see myself and what can I do about that? Looks like it’s about writing more, worrying less, and generally feeling like the boss of me.

Hello again! The new moon was yesterday, and today I did a quick Tarot reading using the spread that @the.word.witch posted on Instagram with the intentions: "For clearing your vision of self. For acceptance of disparate parts. For reflecting self-worth." Sounds good! A friend of mine called this spread "confronting," and I have to admit … Continue reading New Moon in Gemini reading…how do I see myself and what can I do about that? Looks like it’s about writing more, worrying less, and generally feeling like the boss of me.

The longer I wait to write something, the harder it is to start. So here’s a mini blog post about mini-blogging.

It has been a long time (relative to how long I've been doing this at all) since I posted anything here. I have been doing tons of Tarot work, but have been posting it all on my Instagram account without sharing it here. (Below is a collage of some recent posts to show you, in … Continue reading The longer I wait to write something, the harder it is to start. So here’s a mini blog post about mini-blogging.

Mixing Tarot and other oracle cards – exploring the art of temporary divinatory collage (and a lot of other ideas presented somewhat haphazardly in one post because that’s what I have time for)

Wow! I set out to write a post about simple techniques for combining Tarot and "oracle cards" -- something I love to do -- and suddenly I was imagining a treatise on the relationship between art and divination. (Okay, calling it a "treatise" is a stretch. Let's say I have a lot of ideas, but … Continue reading Mixing Tarot and other oracle cards – exploring the art of temporary divinatory collage (and a lot of other ideas presented somewhat haphazardly in one post because that’s what I have time for)

Synchronicities continue to keep me company. And, I’m Biddy Tarot certified!

I have a problem with overcommitting myself, because I have more interests than time. I'm guessing you know what I mean, since folks interested in Tarot will quickly find any number of rabbit holes to burrow deeper into... So while I haven't gotten around to writing my whole "how I got into Tarot/chose this blog … Continue reading Synchronicities continue to keep me company. And, I’m Biddy Tarot certified!

I’m certifiable! And busy. And being stalked by the 7 of Cups. (Oh, and International Tarot Day is July 8th! Google it!)

LET'S START WITH "CERTIFIABLE." Not certified, just certifiable. 😉 The coursework is done and my paperwork has been submitted to Biddy Tarot, and now I'm just waiting for (hopefully) my official Biddy Tarot certification. Will I feel special? 🙂 Well, I do like to get a good grade from the teacher. haha. But seriously, I … Continue reading I’m certifiable! And busy. And being stalked by the 7 of Cups.
