How long till predictions come to pass?

(I posted this on another forum, too, because it's a question so often asked. I notified the mods there that it would be posted on other forums, so this should be okay.) This is a question that's asked time and again over the years and I always answer as best I can. I don't have a way to keep track ...

The Essential Lenormand by Rana George is excellent. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Christmas Sale

I've revamped my fee schedule so that there's something for every budget. It's not exactly a specifically Christmas sale because the changes are permanent but check them out to see if there's something that would just suit you. I also offer coupons for discounts and gift certificates, which are so h...

Re: Selling: Tarot of Vampyres, Mystic Faerie Tarot, Renaissance Tarot, Faerie Guidance Oracle

Which Art Nouveau are you looking for? The Lo Scarabeo or the one by a guy named Matt (can't recall his last name?) but it's out of print? And I have the book for the original Victorian Romantic. It's in great condition. My interests in your list are the Vampyres and Mystic Faerie decks. I'm not sur...

Halloween Super Sale

From now till November 1st, my Comprehensive Tarot readings are $35. Regularly they're $50. The reading has, at times, included 20 to 30 cards before it was finished in some cases in the past. I read on your question for as long as the cards keep "speaking", whether that's 10 cards or the ...

Re: Using spreads or not

Technically, anytime we lay out cards to read it's a spread, whether we name the positions or not. :) I advise people who aren't very experienced to have a specific question and named positions because it make the cards so much easier to read. I'd even go so far as to say that writing down the quest...

Re: Almost 50 years old!

Another of the oldie but goodie type of deck I have is the Motherpeace. I have both the regular sized and the mini. I use the mini but never seem to use the bigger size. It came out in 1984, I think. It's put away at the moment so I can't take it out to look at the copyright date, but it was among t...

Almost 50 years old!

I recently got the Aquarian tarot in a tin and I was looking at the copyright date. It was copyrighted in 1970 which means it's going to be 50 years old in a few months! I've read somewhere that the Aquarian was the first deck to depart from the Rider Waite images. I haven't ever used my copy of the...

Re: What's the Deck-Stork bringing?

I had a little windfall come my way unexpectedly so I ordered the Casanova Tarot by Lo Scarabeo. I've wanted this deck for literally years but just always passed it by because my budget is so limited that I don't get to splurge often. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and just went for it this t...

Re: 'Frivolous' readings

I've found that we can ask Tarot anything we want to. It doesn't matter whether the question is frivolous or not. It's all part of the interaction we have with our deck that helps us to understand better what it's saying when we do ask serious questions. Tarot is a tool for me. It's like having a se...

Re: Be patient with yourself!

It's really important to trust your own learning process, too. I remember how, in the early years, I thought I'd never, never "get it" and be a confident, fluent reader. I felt like I was just floundering around in a wilderness for a long time. We all learn differently and at different rat...

Re: Best Tarot Decks For Beginners

When I first started learning, RWS was suggested strongly as a beginning deck. I've always thought the art work for that deck was ugly so I started out with things like The Medicine Woman and Buckland Romany and Haindl. Finally, after floundering along for quite some time, I buckled down and got the...

There aren't very many things I won't read on but this is one of them that I won't. I don't second-guess other people's readings.

Re: A Forum Wide Brainstorm Session

I've wondered why the name of the forum uses the word "Cult". That isn't a positive thing for many people. At least not here in America. It suggests something like the Jim Jones group and the Waco, Texas thing. It made me pause for a second when I saw it but I knew it wasn't really a cult ...

:) When I began using the cards, I thought it would be a matter of just memorizing meanings and I figured I'd have done that pretty well in a month and be ready to tell fortunes.

I used to have that problem, too. Then somebody posted (on AT) the age ranges each Court represents.
