What do pirates and butterflies and friends we’ve never met have in common?
Today’s Gaian Tarot is the Ace of Air. It makes me smile just looking at it! A Monarch butterfly has left its cocoon and is nearly ready to fly. Did you know that the butterfly is not born ready to fly? The larva leaves the shelter of its silken tomb Continue reading “Musings on the Ace of Air”
Today’s card is a repeat of the Ace of Fire. I discussed this card here. So I am going to pull another card. I will use the Ace of Fire as my personal card and this next one as the modifier. I will often pull another card to see what modifies the energies of a card. Modifiers can enhance or subtract from the energy.
That modifier is Continue reading “Musings on Justice (Gaian Tarot)”
Elder of Earth comes spinning out of the Gaian Tarot for me today. I started today out with breakfast with Romeo and my Thursday husband which just makes it an excellent day right out of the gate. I also got to talk to a new friend on the phone right before that. Two friends are on their way from Omaha, NE to come see if they want to live in Austin.
Of course Continue reading “Musings on Elder of Earth (Gaian Tarot)”
Today’s card is one of the Court cards. I really like Joanna’s system of Child, Explorer, Guardian and Elder. They are not gender specific in terms of all women or all men. They are mixed.
Here we see a Continue reading “Musings on Explorer of Earth (Gaian Tarot)”
It’s an emotional choice day for me. I laughed a bit when I pulled today’s Gaian Tarot card. My tarot.com horoscope made mention of some emotional choices as well. And I’ve been struggling with my own ability to process and feel emotions again.
I’ve been single for a long time now–just over four years. My last relationship was a hot mess due to Continue reading “Musings on the Two of Water (Gaian Tarot)”
OOH LALA! Today is a 2 of Fire day.Interesting to get a Fire card after yesterday. I felt like dog poop most of the day. Then my back decided to flare up as well. Great! I was thinking about doing a free hooping class tomorrow. Guess that’s out. WHINE!
In most Tarot decks, the twos are about
choices. In the Gaian Tarot, this seems Continue reading “Musings on the Two Of Fire (Gaian Tarot)”
Last night I did my first reading for a client with the Gaian Tarot. The spread I used as my Chakra spread which tends to be a “low-blow, dirty deeds” kind of spread. By that I mean it doesn’t hold back from what it thinks you need to know. The Universe tends to send really clear messages. Last night’s reading kept hammering one particularly Continue reading “Musings on Elder of Air (Gaian Tarot)”
Can Death be comforting? Beautiful? Do a wrecked boat and a dead bird bring peace in a meaningful way?
I feel like a part of me is dying.
So that was the song I hear when I was getting out of my car this morning. I am battling a stomach issue today that is a direct result of my eating a Whataburger with jalapenos last night. Late. Very very late. Ugh. I so know better, right? But I was hungry and nothing else was available. I didn’t want to take the time to cook a bowl of rice (which is what I should have done.) So instead, Continue reading “Musings on Death (Gaian Tarot)”
Why is the Ace of Fire from Joanna Powell Colbert’s Gaian Tarot so terrifying? Did she make a wrong choice in this card?
This morning’s card is the Ace of Fire. Interestingly, when I pulled the very first card from this deck, I got this card. It embodies a sense of curiosity even while it may cause some to shudder. Continue reading “Musings on the Ace of Fire (Gaian Tarot)”
I am doing daily draws (or as often as possible since I may not remember to do this) with my new Gaian Tarot deck. I will put up a review soon. In fact, I have a few outstanding reviews.
I am intentionally not sharing the card image. To see it, please click the link in the sources at the bottom of this post.
Today I drew the Priestess. She is the third card in the Major Arcana. Her image is the one on the front of the Gaian Tarot’s companion book. The background is water and air–ocean capped by sky. She seems to be in a place that is not Continue reading “Musings on the Priestess (Gaian Tarot)”
