I live in Canada, where we now acknowledge in many events that we live on the traditional lands of Indigenous peoples who, if we are not Indigenous, have been there before us for thousands of years. In one of the workshops introducing us to why and how to do that, we were asked a powerful question: ...

Hi! I’m so freaking excited to be here! I don’t know anyone IRL who’s into Tarot. I got my first tarot deck (Universal Waite) as a birthday gift because I put it and Liz Dean’s Ultimate Guide to Tarot on my Amazon wish list. I had actually almost removed it the week before because I recognized how ...

Oh, I had a bit of a misunderstanding with the stork. I wanted the Ghetto Tarot, and what I got was the BOOK about the Ghetto Tarot. Sigh.

.... and you have 1132 posts! Yes, building a forum is really hard. But you're doing an awesome job! I hope it doesn't burn you out. I really liked the monthly Intuitive Reading Circle at AT. Would love to see something like that again. If I wasn't up to my ears in two big projects right now, I'd ru...

I'm game!

My question: What 3 words should be my mantra for February? Joker, vacation, possible. On my table right now I see two joker cards from a playing card deck, and a mouse pad for the YouTube series "Vacation: Impossible". The message of the latter is that fun vacations, and lots of them, AR...

Well, I have to say that the best part of Benebell's lovely and thoughtful article was the link to the defence of unicorns https://www.patheos.com/blogs/matauryn/2019/01/23/a-rebuttal-to-doreen-virtues-attack-on-unicorns/. After all, "They smell like sunshine and friendship and they know the wa...

Hi everyone. I am Sam, a new member to this forum. I started reading for family in 2010. My first tarot reading was done by a tarot master back in 2009. My first deck is a taiwan fantasy deck. It's a very mysterious deck that recently prefer to use it to check hidden or serious issues. While RWS de...

Jaq, many thanks for your warm and generous response to the reading. I'm wildly guessing from the cards that you're a parent. From my own experience I know that every moment taken for oneself can seem like a terribly selfish indulgence, stolen from your partner or children. The rugrats on the Wheel...

Thank you for an exquisite reading! The Wheel of Fortune turns out to be an accurate representation of the issue at hand. The TdM Wheel is static and destined to remain so until someone assertively cranks the handle. Like many cards in the TdM there is a subversive element hidden in plain sight in t...

This is interesting because I hadn't even considered the conference being all that overwhelming or intense. I really have no idea what to expect. I used to work in Silicon Valley and I went to a lot of big tech conferences Yeah, I was thinking about that, too. I've also been to lots of conferences ...

I'm preparing for a trip to the US to attend the Northwest Tarot Symposium in Portland, Oregon. I'm attending just as a guest. My question is, in the 6 weeks or so I have to prepare myself, what should I be focusing on the most? ***1*** **2 3** *4 5 6* Card 1 - The Issue Cards 2 & 3 - The facto...

Thanks, that was very helpful. I now have a clear idea as to what we're looking for in the decks (it's not as if I don't have enough decks to choose from :D ) In the Sasha Fenton cards you linked to, you have a forward facing knight, which destroys the reader's ability to properly use regarding tech...

Just out of curiosity: How about Sasha Fenton? http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/sasha-fenton/

Quick question: How do we define Tarot De Marseilles? Anything without pips? Or does the deck have to look like the TdM's of old?

Hi Jaq. This is just to let you know I am looking forward to reading your cards and seeing what they have to tell you about being more open about stating your needs. I will sit down to it sometime during the weekend. I was wondering if you had a particular TdM deck that you would like me to read wi...

Oh, in case it hasn't been mentioned yet - one of the things I loved about AT was that there was vigorous trading and selling. I got some really, really awesome decks that way that I would have never been able to get otherwise. I know we have a section for that here but if we could make it blossom ...

Ok! <rubbing my hands>

Great! Looking forward to this! My issue is getting better about explicitly asking for what I need.

For me, reading tarot is infinitely easier than trying to finish the novel I'm working on. I find that I dont need the creative muse nearly as much with tarot, perhaps because I read more analytically. Hah! Ain't that the truth. I'm in the same boat. I've finished a novel and a novella but have a n...

I would agree with this, but I want to quibble that, at least as I understand the terms, what you/we are using/advocating is better described as number symbolism rather than numerology, which, iiuc, is more about getting secret or divinitory knowledge from the structure of numbers. Alleging the dat...

Yes! Yes! Yes! What she said! The one thing I'd add - when you're ready, or when you get frustrated, try a different method, even for just a short while. Are you the "I hate books" kind? Stick your nose into at least one book. Do you only learn with one deck? Try a different one. Are you a...

Ha! Numerology! Hand me the popcorn! I am also a begrudging and sparing user of numerology. The only thing that makes sense for me is to go by what seem to be some relatively generally accepted ideas about numbers. E.g., 1 is the first, the singular, the lonely, the beginning, etc. 2 makes us think ...
