Re: Why you should keep a journal

I'm sorry people tried to hurt you, Juniper. For me it's not so much a case of using it against me, as that it's, well, personal. My thoughts in progress aren't meant to be a conversation with someone else, it's about being able to retrieve my own thoughts. Sometimes it's a case of it's something I...

If someone finds your journal and does their very worst, play "Rocket" by Ursula.

Re: Why you should keep a journal

I have a hard time leaving paper around, too. When I was younger, I was badly betrayed, and things I wrote were taken out of context and used to hurt me. But over time, I have begun to see that my biggest wounds grew into my biggest strengths. I would not be me, some of my best parts and my most fun...

Re: Profile Deck Collection and Wishlist

When I was younger, I used the books, but wasn't ready for the art of the cards, yet. I have grown softer over the years, as I have learned to trust more. I maneuver through the world differently, now. I had to grow into these cards. Farber and Zerner are just different: all their work. I sense that...

Re: Wheel of the Year / Almanac type book suggestions?

oh thank you, those are lovely suggestions. Weave the Liminal looks exactly the thing. The coloring book is possibly a little illustrative for my style. I find it hard to settle with the rhythm of the year here. It's always too hot or too cold, and spring and autumn go by too quickly. I find that w...

Re: Wheel of the Year / Almanac type book suggestions?

You and I seem on the same path right now. I am in the north, so most of what I am finding usually won't help much. Coloring book of shadows is not traditional, but I am finding some of the pages useful for dividers in my binder of random stuff quickly printed out from the internet. It gives me a qu...

Re: Introducing myself! Hi everyone!

Welcome! It is nice here. I am not sure I use my tarot "right" but it is "right" for me. Tarot is less passive than TV and books, but requires less creativity than arts and crafts. Tarot is one of those middle level hobbies. It fills a self-soothing niche even for the most skeptic.

Also I have learned to take screen shots of information on tarot websites, and have learned how to copy and paste text, and save images, and view a webpage in "reader mode" before trying to print it. I create folders on a USB drive or my desktop to organize information that I cannot afford...

Re: What should I buy?

Also taking notes from a library book is time consuming. I only take concise notes from library books for a SINGLE topic that I am currently studying. For example, if I am studying tarot affirmations, I might have a stack of library books, but I would only copy the affirmations I liked from that sta...

Re: What should I buy?

Some of the best books comes packaged with a deck. One way to access these books cheaply is with an app that includes the full text of the book. http://www.foolsdog.com/tarot.html I buy used books in bulk during bulk sales. I keep a full wishlist and only purchase the books when I can get them cheap...

I realized that it is significant that I do not even know what I have, because they are tucked away and unused. This is the catch-all forum. Are there parameters on how this thread should progress? The deck I am using now is the Enchanted Tarot anniversary edition, supplemented with 2 other of the a...

I'm going to make it a goal to complete this before the weekend is over. Maybe others can make due dates of their own. With a due date, we are more likely to complete the task. I agree, it is important. Thanks for the push.

Re: How to learn your Tarot deck

I hope I can memorize all 78 card meanings. If possible, I like to learn the keywords for the numbers and elements first. Then make sure that any card keywords that I try to memorize fit into the whole. If the author is all over the place with no large plan, I usually abandon the idea of becoming p...

Re: Poll: Numbering the Majors

I think it is important to identify your target audience and then create a profile of your stereotypical audience member. All your questions will answer themselves. The entire world of tarot readers is not your audience. You cannot please everyone. Pick a group to please and please them fully.

As for being able to verbalize: If you are living life hard enough, survivors learn to FEEL things that they have not been taught a vocabulary to describe.
