Tarot School 9 years, 4 months agoSo, I was doing a little daily reading for myself, and guess what card I pulled on this here Friday the 13th? THE MOON! In honour of the full honey moon tonight, I thought we could discuss the card a little bit. It made sense in a literal way,in my reading, but not as much in its interpretation. Generally I see it as a card of both dark and light,…[Read more]
-
I love this card. I’m a Cancer in, like, all the planets (by which I mean four of them), so I’m very governed by the moon, and happily so. I therefore have many romantic feelings about this card. Here are some of them: If you want to understand The Moon, comma, the tarot card, put down your deck, go outside, look up at the moon, and observe your…[Read more]
-
woowww, thank you for the amazing insight! I think I know what the Moon was trying to tell me now. What a powerful card.
-
-
I feel very much what Hazel Blue wrote about the tug! When I look at this card I feel the tug of that most inner part of you that is the real, total, genuine you that pulls you toward what is real for you in life, or what you need or desire to be fulfilled. It’s like a calling to fulfill yourself. Like dogs who howl at the moon. Does anyone…[Read more]
-
I agree with everything everyone’s already posted, but i think the card has another facet as well. The moon represents the unconscious (which many of you touched upon, talking about how it may represent feelings instead of reality), and thereby it also represents other worlds (i.e., the dream world, worlds/realities created by alcohol,…[Read more]
-
That’s very interesting. I think the two canine’s are important and maybe represent two aspects of the self, the tamed and the untamed. Also, I feel that those pillars in the distance are important. I think they are about a path, and we can see a winding path leading through them from the unconscious to the horizon. I think the winding path…[Read more]
-
Yes – definitely – the dog is the ‘domesticated’ version of ourselves, and the wolf is our wild side. I kind of consider the pillars to be the gates to the ‘other realm,’ that we need the wolf and dog to guide us through.
-
Interesting and mysterious! Do you have any other thoughts about the ‘other realm’? Perhaps I’m dense but I’m not sure what that means.
-
-
I guess my idea of ‘other realms’ is any mind state that differs from what is generally accepted as ‘reality.’ I don’t know if that makes sense, but I think I also mean any place that the mind can travel to. So, like I said above, dreams, drug induced hallucinations, etc.
-
-
Good point, Alison! I never thought of the dog and wolf in the card that way.

Tarot School 9 years, 4 months agoElisabeth and I discussed this a ways back, but are folks interested in sharing their journaling process? I don’t journal every time I run a spread, but I try to do it for most of them. Beth had some great journal ideas in her last article!
It is in a physical notebook, or computer, or online? What is your journaling process? How do you record…[Read more]
-
cool idea! I currently have two physical old school paper type journals – one I started about a year ago. I have a page for each card, and I write down what I learn about that card each time I do a reading (if there’s something new to add of course). The second journal I just started a couple of days ago for readings themselves. In an ideal world…[Read more]
-
I had every intention of starting a new journal that was totally devoted to Tarot but then it quickly became totally enmeshed with my regular life stuff. I can be organized enough to write the date on top of the page, the name of the spread, the deck used, and the question. Sometimes I do a rough drawing of the spread. After that any rules, if…[Read more]
-
Alright, so I’ve got some time to respond to my own post, lol.
As I was taking pictures for this and reading your responses, Corinna & Elisabeth, I realized that I don’t really do a couple of things: write down the question itself or the relevance of the notes I do write. If I’m writing up a reading to post here, I go more into that, but…[Read more]
-
Also, I might add that this is an old journal I made back in college from draft copies of my senior thesis and my friend’s thesis, lol. (I made one for her too!) I’ve had this thing for 5 or 6 years, and it’s served a number of purposes, which is why I have no qualms about taping and adding things. I’ve beat it up enough during disaster response…[Read more]
-
I love it! I like to glue, tape, and scrap over my journals, too. They’re more fun when they feel more fluid.
-
-
Wow, this is awesome in so many ways! I really like seeing other people’s journals. I wanted to post a pic of mine but I felt a wee bit embarassed.
The retreat sounds really fantastic! I would love to go to something like that! I see that you got two of the same cards that came up in your spread about the job issue, the 4 of pentacles and…[Read more]-
Just wanted to say, don’t be embarrassed about your journal, no matter what it looks like. Everyone organizes their thoughts differently, so as long as it makes sense to you, then I’m sure it’s amazing! Also, seeing your thought process may help others understand how to read the cards better! Just a thought!
-
I agree with Allison – don’t be embarrassed! This is why I love Maggie’s column about journaling here on AS; she’s all about encouraging a “whatever works,” creative attitude towards it.
Also, re: King of Cups and 4 of Pentacles… yes, lol. I’m pretty sure the last time I got the 4 of pentacles, I wrote “I’m starting to you,” especially since…[Read more]

Ok. :) Here’s two of my journals. You can see how anything goes. The funnest part of getting new pens for me is drawing them.

And I can be neat at times (on the right):

-
-
I love these! I especially love the drawings! Looks like you’ve done a lot of work as well!
-
Thanks! I pretty much have a lot of time on my hands right now.
-
-
-
I really like the highlighting as well – and the sticky notes, which I think are an artist/writer’s best friend! Or, for that matter, the best friend of any one working with multiple ideas at once! I have one online journal that basically everything goes onto because I am addicted to pictures and basically, my computer. I’m also really visual, so…[Read more]
-
Just wanted to say, I’ve been reading your entries while feeling like a total lurker since I don’t use tumblr and can’t comment there… but it’s been cool seeing your thoughts evolve so far!
-
Thanks, Mary. No worries on lurking at all. If I minded lurkers, I’d have made it private. I’ve been lurking on your blog as well! And really enjoying all of your explanations of court cards. I need all the help with those that I can get!
-
-
Awesome Alison! I missed a lot! And I have no idea how to use tumblr but created an account to follow your blog. Totally as an aside – I was basically born into a Handmaiden’s Tale kind of cult. Luckily my parents decided to leave when I was a toddler. Now I’m a raging feminist. Well…feminist anyway.
-
Tumblr is a bit weird to use. I think just to read everything you don’t need an account, but since you have one, you should be able to comment! Which I’d love! I think you have to follow for two weeks before it allows you to reply (not sure yet how to override this), but eventually it should work.
About the cult – that is a pretty unique (though…[Read more]
-
Yes, I do have memories of the cult. Bad ones. It was a Christian cult thing. Are you out to your parents? I can’t imagine what they would think of that if you were like a baby-eater as a feminist.
In hindsight I’m pretty sure that I came out to my parents in a sort of spiteful way because I knew deep down that I would never hear from them…[Read more] -
Yes, I am out to my parents. I came out as a feminist first, which I think was more shocking in part because they had this preconceived idea of who I was that got shattered.
Also my dad was really understanding about my sexuality because he understands that it’s not a choice. (Whereas… I guess being a feminist, however illogical it may seem n…[Read more]

Lately I’ve been doing both a paper journal and an online one, and the blog has been a really useful addition for me… basically I do free-write style entries in the notebook for most readings I do, and sometimes I draw out the full spread in there. When I think to, I take a pic of my spreads as well in case I want to document them on le blog.…[Read more]
-
I really enjoy your blog posts! They always make me think about the cards from a very different and usually much lighter position that I had been. I think reposting is good because of the scrolling issue and lack of organization.
-
-
Right now I’m keeping two books, one paper and one online. I’ve been using the online one for readings, so I can put a picture of the spread (and any other relevant pictures, like if I worked from a template for the spread) and then type as much as I want. I’ve noticed that I write more and do more analysis if I’m typing, because my hand doesn’t…[Read more]
-
I want to do this too, have a page for each card, instead of the random jumble that is my journal.

Love this idea!
