On 1/31/2012, we had our first Tarot Blog Hop. Thanks to everyone who came by as well as to all the amazing Tarot bloggers who participated. One thing that was very apparent is that we are talented bunch of spread designers. There were a slew of new spreads. My fingers literally ITCHED to try some.
Then I got a new deck for review when I checked my mail. What more could the Universe hit me with? Read the rest of this entry »

I’d love to hear what you think about this month’s Tarotscopes.

Welcome to the first of what I hope will be 6 a year Tarot Round Robins. This came about because of a post on Facebook in a group called Tarotholics. Someone (me) said we should do a round robin where we all posted on the same subject and linked to the blog before us and after us so folks could peruse a number of Tarot blogs. Well that was really well accepted. We have a total of 34 Tarot bloggers for your first round robin. I’d love it if you could leave me a comment just to let me know you were here. And comment as you hop.
Hopefully you got here from The Hermit’s Lamp’s page or you might have come from Andrew’s Tarot. Either way, have fun! If not, you can start from here and hop through as many blogs as you can.
The subject is “How can I be the best candle.” The only parameters were that we use that topic and make it related to Tarot or an Oracle deck. As I thought about the question, it occurred to me that a candle can do several things.
Of course, this first made me think about how I am not lit in my life. Where am I lacking spark or effort? What do I need to do to light up that part of me?
The second was more of a “atta girl” as in where am I already lit? Where am I creating light and fire for myself and others?
Then the third in this little seesaw balancing spread was where am I burning the candle at both ends? Where am I putting out too much fire, too much effort? What area of my life could use a little damping of that flame?
1. Where do I lack spark? Two of Earth tells me that I am lacking spark in my juggling skills. I am not balanced enough. This makes me think that I am over-focused on one area of my life letting another area drop. Because this is a card of community, I wonder if I am not doing enough in my greater Tarot community. Perhaps there are areas where I can use my skills to mediate between the squalling child and the frustrated quiet one.
This falls in line with an idea that I’ve been kicking around about a worldwide Tarot Council where members from every organization are represented as well as a number of those who are NOT affiliated with any group. All this group would do would be to review reader applications and say “recommended” or “not recommended”. There would be NO MONEY INVOLVED so hopefully we could eliminate the very human need to be in control of the purse strings. This wouldn’t be a “pay us money to get certified” thing. It would be a review board that just said, “Yes, this person is a competent Tarot reader.” And I open up a HUGE can of worms here because what defines competent is very subjective. But I digress. That’s for another post another day.
2.Where am I creating light? Three of air shows a man journalling. He’s working on matters of the heart most likely since the three of swords sticks out from his journal. I create light with my seeking joy campaign. I show others how to clear their emotional debris away so they can seek joy themselves. It’s not easy. In fact, it’s often quite painful, but for me it’s a necessity. I choose to thrive rather than just survive. So I continually write things out to help me find that joy that feeds me.
I think this points to my work here where I am posting a card a day. I am not doing “this card means this” posts. I’m doing more like riffs on what the card makes me think about. One that was particularly fun for me was the Surrender card from the Vertical Oracle. It shows a snowman on a steeply angled mountain. Where can he go but down from there?
3.Where am I burning the candle at both ends? Seven of air made me laugh out loud, y’all. This is so me. I’ve got the map. I’m on the journey. But where am I supposed to be next? I’ve moved from using my online calendar (Gmail which syncs to my iPhone) to also using a paper datebook. I can make lists and track things a bit more easily in the bright pink planner in my purse. How alliterative! But I sometimes say yes to too many things. And then I get lost. My schedule can be so tight that if one person is more than ten minutes late, my entire day is thrown off. 
That’s crazy making, y’all. I see that I need to let go of more. Let others do more. I think I’ll let someone else organize the next blog hop. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Now how to tell them.
Joanna says of the card that it can be a reminder to leave room for serendipity. Maybe I’m overstuffing my days.
And the other thing here is that two of my three cards were mental cards. How interesting. My Aquarius Rising self thinks “ooh shiny” as it flits off to another thing then comes back for a minute. Monkey brain? Heck, I’ve got Hummingbird brain. Much faster and flightier than Monkey brain. Aside: Monkey brain makes me think of that scene from the 2nd or was it the 3rd Indiana Jones movie.
See? Hummingbird brain!
Now hop on to the next blog here before my mind takes off again.
Pssst! Want to join us? Clicky! Corrected. Thanks Sharyn from Quirkeries! Just so you know, it’s a closed group on Facebook so you do need to ask to join. But, there are five admins so someone will be along shortly to let you in.
Still feel like joining something? Why not help the American Tarot Association as a member. We are about education not certification.

Back in 2005, when I was on LJ all the time, there were MeMe’s or Lemmings that went around. These were posts that everyone participated in. One of those that I did in January 7 years ago was a bluffing post.
I’m going to share that here. If you do this on your own blog, won’t you let me know so I can stop by and play? Just leave me a comment with your link!
Here’s how you play. I post twenty questions. You answer by listing the number and your guess Truth or Bluff. 
The first fifteen are my original questions. One of those has changed since 2005.

When last we left our Fool, he’d been given a hopeful message by the Star. She’d told him that his journey was nearly over. But even with that message of hope, the Fool didn’t sleep nearly as easily as he thought he should. Read the rest of this entry »
