SPREAD: R.S.V.P. Spread

So, do you have any invitations that you need to investigate? Are you wasting your energy RSVPing for situations that would be better for everyone if you just said no? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I did a web course about professional business writing. There was a series of questions that really leant themselves to a Tarot spread. The questions were simple.

• What is the situation/problem?
• Why is this document needed?
• Who is going to read it?
• What do those readers need to know?
• What action does the writer want the reader to take?

So I translated them into a spread to do when you aren’t sure about becoming involved in a situation. This goes back to my current theme Continue reading “SPREAD: R.S.V.P. Spread”

Ouroboros, Home & Baphomet

Oh, what is written on the 9 of Disks’ arms is the Latin terms solve and coagula. This means to dissolve and coagulate, which are opposing alchemical processes. Fascinating.

Thoughts? Comments? Insights?

Back to Elemental Dignities I go. I went up to see my honey this weekend which included an amazing hike in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. I was rejuvenated.

I pulled this triad late but focused on today as the information I was looking to access. My, but I was suprised. 😀 Continue reading “Ouroboros, Home & Baphomet”

Chloe’s How Can I Shine Spread

Two Queens and the 8 of Swords walk into a bar…

The subject was “How Can I Be A Better Candle?”. I’ve done two spreads from other Tarot Blog Hop bloggers (Barbara Moore and Carolyn Cushing). This is my third. I love this woman’s blog. Chloe is across the pond from me. She maintains one of my favorite blogs called Inner Whispers. She didn’t name her spread so I did. Ha! Continue reading “Chloe’s How Can I Shine Spread”

Arwen Reads For Arwen

Strangely, this card position induces a bit of stress in my world. Intimacy is a struggle for me. Is it for you? The nine of Fire tells me that to build real intimacy…

I shared a new spread on Friday called the Blooming Spread. you can check that post to see where I got the idea and what each position means.

Blooming Life Continue reading “Arwen Reads For Arwen”

Anger, Authenticity & Blooms

But those five statements that my Facebook friend posted challenged me in other areas as well. So I thought what a great Tarot spread idea! Because my friend’s last name is Bloom, I’m calling this the Blooming Life Spread.

So a friend on Facebook posted five simple statements. I don’t know where she got them from and an internet search yielded results from rumi to Deepak Chopra to a blogger named Mary Lou. If anyone knows the source, let me know.

The statements were: Continue reading “Anger, Authenticity & Blooms”

Blossoms, Memories & Letting Go

Now I have to make that next step and stop worrying about her. Stop caring that she appears to be committing some type of public social Hari-Kari ritual. I won’t be a part of her crazy any more.

As I dressed for work today, I put on what I call Romany Reader Rags. Basically I put on the costume of what folks tend to expect a Tarot psychic to look like. I put on my black wrap dress then added a pink pashmini shawl around my waist, a purple crochet long vest, an Indian scarf for my hair and a huge squash blossom necklace. Very Hollywood and certainly a far cry from authentic.

As I moved into the day, my thoughts turned to my ancestors and my loved ones. It’s hard to make time to Continue reading “Blossoms, Memories & Letting Go”

Gunpowder, Gasoline & Napalm

Someone said they saw this as the one thing we didn’t want to hear because it was the furthest away from us. That hit me in a game-changing way. I mean think about it.

Do you do a daily draw or pick a card each morning? I don’t always, but I do advocate for it. I think it does two things that are good in for Tarot enthusiasts.

One, you cannot help but become more familiar with your cards. It’s a more intimate way to connect with them because it forces you to dig more deeply into the cards. Sometimes in a full spread, you tend to skim over the cards that you would rather not know more about. I see it as an avoidance technique. I’m very very good at it. Are you?

Two, for me, it gives me a focus for the day. I use it for what I should think about that day rather than what will happen. Now don’t get me wrong. I am not one who says Tarot is not for divination. Of course it is for divination. Continue reading “Gunpowder, Gasoline & Napalm”
