Singlestraddlers… Ready to Mingle! 9 years, 4 months ago
Hey there! I’m Izzy. I’m 17, femme, and I like lots of various stuff. Usually that includes TV, video games, history and vintage clothes. I’m sort of an introvert, but I have been known to be social on occasion. It’d be cool to find someone that has a great sense of humor and loves being nerdy as much as I do. Or y’know, someone that at least…[Read more]

Welcome winter!
I feel the disorganization also but I’m not sure there is a way of making this more organized. I also wish we got email updates when someone makes a new post vs. just when someone responds to a comment. -
I checked out your blog, Winter, and WOW. Your tarot journals are absolutely gorgeous!
-
Thanks Alison…!
Yeah I agree Elisabeth… I am trying to find a way of keeping track!

Hey there! The name is Chelsea. I like dogs, nature, and I’m vegan. If I’m being honest I’m a total homebody and I would rather stay home with a few close friends than go out and party. I’d love to find someone to connect with, support, and challenge to grow. We can totally hang out with my dog and binge watch tv together.

Tarot School 9 years, 4 months agoYou guys! I’m so happy and psyched! I just have to share.
This morning in my daily “temp. check” reading I got a really great reading.
Internal: The Tower
External: 9 of cups
Advice: Ace of cupsIt made sense to me at the time, and I had a gut feeling that it meant something about events today but was also kind of skeptical. The events that…[Read more]

Tarot School 9 years, 4 months agoCan anyone recommend a book that deals mostly/only with Jungian archetypes and tarot? Thanks!
-
I’m really interested in this as well!
-
This is one of those things I’ve never got round to studying in depth, but when I initially looked into it a few years back the impression and advice I got was to read Jung himself. The Archetypes and The Collective Unconscious is a collection of his essays on this topic.
I just took a look on the tarot forum I belong to and pinched this post…[Read more]

Jung and Tarot by Sallie Nichols
It has mixed reviews, but it depends what you are looking for. There are some who argue that Jung and the Tarot have nothing to do with each other. I don’t subscribe to that opinion. The Tarot these days is very intertextual, if you look at the…[Read more]
-
Thanks for the recommendations, everyone! I’m really excited about all of this, just trying to find some free time to take a closer look at it!
-
Did you read this one yourself? Because I’d love to know your own review! The ones on Amazon look pretty promising, since I don’t know if I’m ready to just tackle Jung head-on yet or not.
-
I haven’t read all of it, but it is mostly author driven, there is not a lot of actual Jung. I agree with Beth. The best way is to go straight to the source and then make your own decisions about how they go together. Another helpful book on archetypes and The Fools Journey, is Joseph Campbell’s Hero with a Thousand Faces…

The Hero with a Thousand Faces is something I’ve been meaning to read for years… guess I should just finally pick up a copy!

I just got Jung’s Synchronicity in the mail today, which is something Mary K Greer references a lot when she talks tarot + Jung. Will report back insights!

Nice, I’m excited to hear about it!

Yeah, I want to check out both Greer and Jung too!

Tarot School 9 years, 4 months agoCan we talk about the six of swords?
This card came up in a reading the other day and I really couldn’t figure it out. It seems very elusive and the meaning in my Pollack book is vague. Intuitively I see the people in the boat leaving their life to find something new. The boatman has a wand, not an oar which speaks of the new beginning energy…[Read more]
-
This is what always trips me up in readings — whether to follow my intuition or to find a book to interpret it for me. In this case though, I definitely agree with your feeling that they are packing up and going for a new beginning, probably leaving something that was not so great behind them. And I feel like it’s both unpleasant and hopeful.…[Read more]
-
“hopeful because of the future.” So, maybe that’s the meaning of the baby.
Ideally, I feel like I’d like to be able to read mainly intuitively but with the knowledge of traditional meaning in my mind to rely on if needed or to back up my intuition. If I had that I think I’d go with intuition if there was a conflict between the two.
-
-
For me, the key imagery in this card is the water – the waves behind the boat are rough, but the water ahead is smooth. The passengers are still carrying swords with them, the mental struggles they’ve accumulated so far. But they’re headed for a calmer shore, or at least could do so, depending on how they steer the boat.
-
Yeah…I can see that. Thanks!
-
I agree, the water is so significant. The journey the passenger is making is over the water – they are traversing their emotions.
For me this is about *allowing* yourself to be carried away, it’s about surrender and accepting help.
The boatperson might be a stranger or a friend – I find in readings that it so often represents a benevolent…[Read more]-
“this is about *allowing* yourself to be carried away, it’s about surrender and accepting help.” I love that! Thanks!

Can we have a conversation like this for every card? Because this one is amazing to go back and read. Everyone added something really insightful. I’m serious.. let’s do this for every card…
-
Alison, I was thinking the same thing. It would be really cool if we could regularly talk about a specific card.
-
Maybe we can just choose a day of the week and go through the deck, card by card? Would that sound good?
-
Sounds good to me! You want to kick it off?

Oh, I forgot to add – this version from the Shadowscapes Tarot by Stephanie Law really moves me:
http://www.shadowscapes.com/Tarot/cards.php?suit=3&card=5
– again it has that thing of being unconsciously helped, lifted over your cares, taken away from them. Very different from the RWS image where the swords are right there in the boat!-
Wow! That is really beautiful! I’m def. going to look at that deck.
-
It’s stunning. I’m not one for fairies and pastels at all and brushed this deck off when I first came across it (just via the website). But I kept ending up back there and as I looked deeper into the images I really realised how clever and soulful they are.
I particularly love The Magician, and also this one, the Two of…[Read more]

I’m really not one for fairies and pastels either! The Tarot of the Magical Forest is about as close to that as I’ve ever gotten and I think I was drawn to that by the slightly bizarre quality it has. I really like the Shadowscapes.
The two of wands is really great. There is a lot of dynamic energy in all the cards I’ve looked at. That 6…[Read more]

I have had whole years of Six of Swords energy… I actually call it the Airport card, because it has that kind of feel… hello and goodbye or goodbye and hello, joy and sadness, and yes it is very much an emotional card for the suit of air. I think I get this card a lot because I tend to dwell a lot on the past, my head is turned to face back…[Read more]

Ready to mingle sounds weird, so let’s say open to meeting new people. Let’s get a few pet peeves out of the way. I do eat meat, I do drink beer and I don’t particularly care for Tegan and Sara (*gasp*, you take that back!). If you do not know the difference between there, their and they’re we probably won’t get along. Now then…I am actually…[Read more]
