Today’s card is from one of those decks that I don’t have but think I might like…just for the sake of curiosity, you know. It’s only 56 cards so I believe it to be only the minor arcana. A traditional Tarot deck has 78 cards with 22 of those being the Major Arcana.
I do love the message on this. “This card greatly improves the fortune of the cards around it.” How selfless is that? It isn’t focused on what it can get but rather how it can help those other poor little cards around it.
No, I’m not being sarcastic although it might sound like it. I think it’s a pretty cool setting to be on. Instead of the Gimme cycle or the How can I spin this for me cycle, we have a card that improves the fortunes of others.
The hand holding the pentagram is very Rider-Waite-Smith. I love fullness of the clouds around the wrist as well. Beneath that is the very traditional gateway of green and flowers symbolizing growth. Beyond is a mountain promising all sorts of good things.
For your 180 seconds today will you be a promoter of someone else? Will you step aside from your own spotlight to shine it on another? Who do you know that might deserve a shout out? Feel free to list them here and tell us why.
While we may not greatly improve their fortune, I’ll bet we can at least increase the attention they get. And who doesn’t love that? An unexpected pat on the back is especially sweet.
That’s all I’m asking of you today. Just three minutes telling someone else about someone else.

Seek joy, y’all. Pass it on.
What a lovely idea!
My friend Sarah gives amazing angel/fairy readings, and she is about to publish her very first book, too. I highly recommend her and if possible, get a phone reading…listening to her laugh while she’s hearing your guides is so good for the soul!! 🙂

Well, it may not be totally selfless, but I think my blog is partly about this: I love showcasing other people’s decks and artwork! There are so many beautiful decks out there, and I find it especially fulfilling to show cards from self-published decks, as they don’t get the coverage offered by big publishing houses. Let’s see, I am still totally in love with Holly DeFount’s Incidental Tarot, it is so bright and cheerful, and yet also deep. The Wild Unknown Tarot by Kim Krans has a stark simplicity and a nature focus that are inspiring. The Tarot of the Absurd by Jessica Shanahan makes me laugh, while also making me think. 😀
