Our topic this time is creativity and what springs forth. Well, that’s my loose interpretation of our Blog Wrangler’s theme. Joanne Sprott charged all of the Tarot Blog hoppers to discuss creativity.
There is so much I could do on that subject. I’ve been drawing my tangles again. I am such a fan of the Zentangle method. It quiets my mind. I love being able to weave words into my tangles. I’m calling them Quotangles. 😀 Here is a recent one.
That was done based on a poem I wrote while on retreat with the Goddess with the Gaian Soul, Joanna Powell Colbert. The time I spent with other women in quiet meditation, Tarot play and raucous belly laughter went a long way to regenerate my soul-me.
One of the things we did was play James Wells’ Tarot Circle game. We had four questions posed to us by Joanna. James has an amazing method. He’s also got a new book out! Tarot Circle Encounters: Fostering Community, Wisdom, and Wholeness Through Image, Conversation, and Natural Cycles is available as of 3/15/14. You should check it out.
But back to my creative endeavors. We also did Sacred Art. Using a plethora of materials that included, but not limited to, shells, beach glass, yarn, paper, repurposed jewelry, sticks, glitter, crystals and moss, I created two secret box projects. This is the mind baby of Lyn Belisle of EarthShards with some modifications by Joanna.
Y’all, I dove in. I didn’t want to stop. I had to because I didn’t know how I would get them all home. I have such plans though! I’ve already ordered more faces.
This piece is called She Who Is Wild Of Heart
Here’s a spread to help you find some more wildness in your own life.
Wild, Wild, Wild Moments Spread
1. How can I spread my wings more to be wild of wing?
2. What is one way I can open my heart more to be wild of heart?
3. How might I see more to be wild of eye?
4. What is the key meaning of being wild in this moment?
I hope that you will share your readings with me. I’ve left this one more open so that you can play with it. Don’t judge what you think I should mean. Instead let yourself be wild as you dive into your cards.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. I hope you have fun hopping along. I’m actually the last if you started at the beginning but somewhere in-between if you started else where. 😀

Seek joy, y’all. Pass it on!
Love it, thanks…and enjoying your course too!
This is really cool! I think zentangles are pretty awesome, too, and your coined term “quotangle” made me laugh – that’s a keeper!!
I always love your zentangles and I love the idea of quotangles. Nice spread too! Thank you!
Wild, wild, wild! I love, love, love it!
Lovely post Arwen – I adore your zentangles too!
Love your wild spread darling!
Yo, Arwen, you took the re- nicely into re-connecting with your wild soul I think. Great idea! My draw on the wild spread (very good positions):
1) wings: Six of Wands
2) heart: Queen of Pentacles
3) eye: Knight of Pentacles
4) essence: The Sun
Noting that the sun is also repeated in the 6Wands flag in the Robin Wood. Re-connect with the land, the wild woods, be creatively visible.
Thanks!
Love your quotangles, and your inspiration to be wild. I’m wildly envious of your time on retreat, doing all that creative stuff and connecting with such fabulous people, including yourself. Ah well, when the kids are a bit older I hope to do such things again 🙂 And perhaps your spread will help inspire me to find that part within myself, even here at home!
