Tarot School 9 years, 3 months agoOk, y’all I finally started a blog! Yay! Here it is: Ace Journey.
(That name may be changed, I’m SO horrible with names).-
Yay!

I feel like I should finally suck it up and make a tumblr for the tarot stuff, lol. Clearly I’ve been thinking about it a lot, as evidenced by my myriad of posts and responses here!
I like your posts so far, btw!

Thanks!

So glad you did it Elisabeth! Your blog looks ACE :D

Thanks so much!

Tarot School 9 years, 3 months agoA 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. :-)

Kryst posted an update in the group
Tarot School 9 years, 3 months agoSo, I had been feeling a lot of feels lately and went to my tarot deck to do an inventory of what was going on. To give y’all some background, I identify as poly and have a couple of what I’d call “long-distance intimate friendships”. For about a year now, I’ve been open to finding a primary partner closer to home, and have definitely caught the…[Read more]

Just random notes.
1. 2 of cup is the minor equivalent of The Lovers, so it seems that the situation relates to relationships. It sounds like you’re ready to make more of a primary bond with someone (which you’ve said, lol).
2. Learn Tarot says this re: the 7 of cups…
“When the Seven of Cups appears in a reading, it is important to look…[Read more] -
Getting a lot of the same suit in a reading happens. It just means that there is a lot of that energy present. Here, I would say there’s a lot of passion and active energy–action.
I agree with everything Potter said about the reading. But I will add my own two cents. This is what I see:
Rachel recently posted a Celtic Cross reading. I…[Read more]

Oops, LWB not LWN.

Oh, & re. Daughter of cups–pause and experience without the need to act right away.

Also, re. The Devil: afraid of being “tied down”?

-
Wow, Kryst! What an amazing reading. Don’t be skeptical about all the wands – just be prepared for a rollercoaster :-)
I see The Devil – some unhealthy behaviour patterns – passing out of your life at this time and the Daughter of Cups – a whole new emotional perspective and a commitment to learning to do things differently – coming in…which is…[Read more]

Hey y’all! Sorry I’ve been away and not able to reply to your feedback. Work has been crazy this past week.
@Potter, I was using learntarot as well, so a lot of my interpretations were in line with yours. For the Four of Pentacles, I focused mostly on the desire for control and structure. I saw The Devil as an indication that maintaining my LDRs…[Read more]

Tarot School 9 years, 3 months agoMy 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]

Tarot School 9 years, 3 months agoWhile I definitely need to catch up on everything that’s been going on in Tarot School recently, I’m once again excited to bring you your weekly card!
The Three of Swords!

I don’t have a lot to say to start us off (more excited for everyone else’s ideas!). Just a few incoherent thoughts about my own cards and their differences in meaning -…[Read more]
-
I also like the Anna K image for this card, which focuses on heartbreak and betrayal. It also looks at the idea of making a painful head vs the heart decision in favor of the head.

-
Great interpretation of this card! It really does look like they both are sad to be parting, so this is a decision made with the head not the heart.
-
-

This is from the Steampunk Tarot. I like the image of the clockwork heart because it reminds me of the connection between reason and emotion. The book that comes with it connects it to heartbreak because of gained knowledge. Learning something that causes heartbreak, which you then can learn from.
-
I don’t quite see that, although I like it. What do you think indicates that there has been knowledge gained? This is the next deck I’m going to buy once I have some cash.
-
I thought that was an interesting interpretation, too, but I also don’t see it myself. I think it’s reasonable to draw a connection between heartbreak and knowledge, but not necessarily a specific order (knowledge leading to heartbreak, or vice versa). With this deck in particular, that balance between knowledge/emotion and science/magic is a…[Read more]

Alison, great question re. real or imagined heartache!
I think it was in a YouTube video I watched where someone said that readings are all about how we individually experience reality. If that’s the case then I think I would lean toward an explanation that it indicates how we are experiencing things which may or may not be “real”. I think it…[Read more] -
Although the Collective Tarot suits aren’t directly interchangeable with the RWS suits, I thought it would be interesting to post the Collective Tarot Three of Feathers and the LWB description!
“The Three of Feathers is about the intersection between communication and the heart. It is the gut-wrench when people who care deeply for each other…[Read more]
-
I see what you mean about it being so dark and hard to make out. Feather imagery is really interesting. Someone posted the Ace of Feathers from the Collective Tarot a couple weeks back. Really interesting to think about how Feathers relate to truth (Maat or Ma’at not sure which is correct).
What I see in this card is the person using the…[Read more]

Dreaming WayI have always thought that this was one of the easiest cards to understand in the RWS–a painful situation that is temporary and will pass. As usual the Wildwood interpretation of this card is very interesting, and makes me think of the three swords more along the lines of a love triangle than the RWS imagery.
The Dreaming Way…[Read more]
-
This is from The Wild Unknown deck. I haven’t had it come up in my readings, but it represents betrayal, heartbreak, and turmoil. From the guidebook’s description and how the imagery is, it’s better to try to not make any decisions in this state and wait for the heart and spirit to mend.

-
I like the advice around waiting for it to pass. Decisions made in this state have always proved *very* dodgy in my experience…!
-
-
I have come to really respect this card. A friend has it as a tattoo (the RWS version, which is utterly stunning) and for ages I thought ‘why the HELL would you tattoo that onto your body?!’
Now I see it as a reminder of how strong the heart is. The big red heart in the RWS version isn’t bleeding, isn’t crumbling. It says ‘you will get through…[Read more]
