Mabon Hopping: Getting Creative for the Tarot Blog Hop

Hey y’all. It’s Mabon today. In my tradition that’s the feast of the second harvest. Many of my fellow Wiccans think of it as our time to give thanks for what the year has brought us.

I wanted to do that now. I am in a place of amazing good right now. I have moved to New Mexico to live with my husband. We have a roof, food to feed ourselves and our pets. I have a husband who buys me things like bird feeders from garage sales because he knows how much I love watching the birds.

Right now I can look out my office window to see two house finches and a sparrow on one of those feeders. They are amusing me because they are squabbling over territory. I want to talk to them to remind them that there is food for all here at our home. The birds might not be as amused to find that we call their feeders “bird tv” since the cats love sitting in the windows to watch them.

Our TarotBlogHop wrangler is that lovely Utah harpist and poet, Aisling. Check out her poetry book here or her simply magical harp CD’s here.

She asked us to think about Mabon then create a card that spoke of the season. I was going to do the Empress but the Seven of Pentacles called to me. My card is created in GIMP using a photo I took of my own cherry tomato plant (2011). I reminds me that each blossom and small fruit is a supernova of energy. They represent the work we put in and the reward that will come.

I’d like to invite you to also join me on my YouTube channel where I am offering videos on how to read Tarot intuitively as well as other subjects. I also do deck reviews there. I am covering new decks and old as well.

Happy Mabon, everyone. Seek joy, y’all. Pass it on.

  1. Go GIMP! and tomatoes, oh and you too Arwen :). I’ll be little more respectful the next time I eat a tomato, knowing now that I’m putting a supernova in my mouth! Maybe that’s where the heartburn is coming from…..

  2. Beautiful! And congratulations on your new state, and your wonderful husband who clearly knows you very well ๐Ÿ˜‰ I love New Mexico and have not been there in nearly 20 years! But I have very fond memories…..

  3. Ha ha, bird tv – love it! The Seven of Pentacles is a great card for this, and I love what you say about the energy of plants, and of the energy we put into what we sow and tend ๐Ÿ™‚
