    So it’s past my bedtime and all that jazz, but I wanted to share this spread I put together today. I have the full write up on my tumblr HERE, and I did a practice run with it (still sitting on my desk!) that I’ll type up tomorrowish. A tumblr friend already did it (!!!) and was super enthusiastic about it, my heart is so full. Anyway, here it is.…[Read more]

    • I just wanted to say that I tried Potter’s Pride spread myself and LOVED IT. It’s a very well thought out spread and personally gave me a lot of constructive stuff to work with!

    • Here’s the reading I did with Potter’s spread:

      1. Passion – The Sun
      2. Strength – Nine of Cups
      3. Expression – Three of Swords (Yes, I do have some issues expressing my identity, thanks deck.)
      4. Growth – Ten of Wands
      5. Peace – The Empress
      6. Community – Knight of Cups
      7. Protection – The Fool.

      In short, my passion is feeling free and…[Read more]

      • Pretty sure I said this on tumblr, but love this. thank you. <3

        I got the Empress for Community on my last run through (with queer/gay as my ID)! And the Devil was my significator, which I'm still working out.

    So, Allison asked me about my Wildwood deck interview. I did it and took, but haven’t typed them up. I’ll do my best to make that happen soon! In the mean time, I DID type up my interview with the miniature RWS and posted it on my tumblr. So here’s that one to tide y’all over. Some interesting stuff definitely came up!

    Finally, my TABI deck…[Read more]

    • Very cool. I love that such a teeny deck is ready to tackle big, significant changes and transitions. This seems like it’ll be an amazing one to carry around for short readings.

      • I have another tiny deck now! Lol. I’ve got to do the deck interview, but I’ll post it here and on tumbler when I do.

    I see a lot of new folks! Who wants to introduce themselves? I’d love to hear from everyone!

    I’m Potter and I’ve recently became partners-in-crime with the Housewives Tarot deck; you can see my post about it below.

    So my new decks came in this morning! I did the deck interview spread with the Housewives Tarot. It’s long, lol. FYI!

    Before I get started, I want to note that I like the cards and how they feel. But man, are they annoying to shuffle! Otherwise, they’re a good size for my hands and just look fanfuckintastic.

    Also, I just posted this on my tumblr, but I thought it would be a good discussion to have here.

    I may have just fallen into an Etsy tarot hole. Crawling out now. Maybe.

    But can we talk about this deck? Supernatural Tarot

    I didn’t think I’d be into pop culture decks, but the few images shown just make sense to me. And damn, they are well dra…[Read more]

    Since I started the tarot tumblr, I decided to actively wok on doing daily draws. I’ve managed to pull at least one card a day for nearly a week (impressive by my standards! lol). I did have a giggle/really? moment today when I pulled The Fool for the second time in a week. A good reminder about the start of a journey?

    Anyway, how you all go…[Read more]

    • I don’t do it religiously like many readers do – my daily draw habits tend to wax and wane. Right now, since I’m changing my business and gearing up for a change in lifestyle, I’m drawing a card every morning for a little inspiration – one thing I can do or learn today to move things forward, doesn’t have to be big.

      A few weeks ago on holiday, Em…[Read more]

      • That’s pretty fantastic, lol.

        And so far I’m enjoying it, if just for the opportunity i’m taking to look at the cards I pull a little more in depth (I talked about The Moon a lot today thanks to the daily draw!).

    • …the best being the Five of Swords, which I took to mean ‘choose your battles’. Em and I playfight a LOT, always trying to be the one who’s right, but on that day I gave in to her on every point. It drove her nuts :)

    Ok, I did it. Here’s the tarot tumblr…

    A good friend’s birthday was yesterday (yes, the day after mine!). We try pretty hard to have some form of contact with each other on both days, no matter where we are. This year, I offered to do a reading for her (I used the same spread I did for myself). It was my first reading for another person; so exciting! I asked if I could share it, and…[Read more]

    • Here’s what she got from it…

      “Wow! Holy cannoli. That spread is spot on. Overall the strength of the pentacle a comes through in my current focus on financial security, health, and education.

      I’m using my daughters of the moon tarot book but these are my thoughts:

      1. Interpreted as security, which to me was definitely a theme for last year…[Read more]

    • Here’s what I got…

      “I agree on the prevalence of the pentacles! They’re very focused on those practical matters of money, security, home.
      I also found the two major cards interesting. Someone mentioned recently that they tend to refer to larger, overarching tends and themes in a person’s life. And looking at The Lovers and The High Priest for…[Read more]

    • I love four and five – like, embrace hard work now, by next year you’ll be teaching others.

      Reading for others like this is so awesome. I learn so much when I share a spread with another tarot-reading friend (or someone who doesn’t know tarot at all but just reacts to the cards). One of my best friends is a die-hard Thoth tarot user, whereas I…[Read more]

      • I agree! And I like what you said about “work now, teach others later.” I’ll have to pass that on to her. :-)

    My birthday’s today, so I wanted to do a quick, general birthday spread before the clock officially ticked over to June 24. I found a nice 5 card spread that wasn’t horrifyingly intimidating, and laid out the cards. I’ll post a picture of the spread and my interpretation tomorrow, but I wanted to share what I laid down. It was the most major cards…[Read more]

    • Happy birthday!!! Nice that you got the Magician for your next year! I wonder what it means to get a lot of Majors in a reading.

    • Happy Birthday! That looks like a great reading! A lot of majors can mean that the reading deals with larger (more major) patterns and events in your life. It can signify a reading that’s “more important” than your average one – except I don’t really like to dismiss the minor cards with that phrasing. Basically, when I get a lot of majors, I take…[Read more]

      • For one spread it was suggested that if a Major turns up in a particular position that it’s a long standing issue. I wonder if many Majors in a reading can also mean the same thing.

    • Alright, here it is. Please feel free to add anything you think is applicable!

      1. Last year: Wheel of Fortune
      I felt this was pretty damn accurate. I went from the middle of grad school to graduating, to working three part time jobs, to being unemployed and still job searching (since October!). In addition, this speaks to the element of not…[Read more]
