Cult of Tarot Forum

Hi
I am very new here, the site was recommended by another member when I mentioned how much I missed Aeclectic Tarot, so thanks A!! I recognise a couple of names but haven't had a look round really yet. On AT I was known as winterchild.

I live at the bottom of the world, where it is currently ridiculously hot, and have been doing things Tarot since I was a child pretty much, so nearly 40 years... wow! My taste is very eclectic.

So there we go, that's me, so Hello and have a brilliant weekend.

Welcome! So glad you have found us. It's lovely to have you. What an interesting username.

I hope you can get a break from the heat and take in some of our discussions and such. Please let me know if you need anything or have any questions.

Thanks for joining us!

Thank you so much for the welcome Joan Marie! My name came about because I felt like I broke my flag when I moved from the UK to NZ 15 years ago. It still feels kinda broken

Thanks Diana... I look forward to joining in... it has been so long since I was on a Tarot forum, will have fun finding my way around

Which bit?

Welcome, This is a friendly , helpful and fun group. Your perspective as a long time reader will be much appreciated.

I made a permanent move from the U.S. to Bali 2.5 years ago. Maybe I'm in a pretty universal head space? My flag doesn't feel broken, I'm just not that keen on flying it right now. I would love to become an Indonesian citizen, but it is not financially feasible. The weather is just right here in Ubud, Bali -- nearly on the equator.

This reminded me of this great poem although when you say, UK, I don't know which part you are speaking about :

The Soldier
BY RUPERT BROOKE

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England’s, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

This is on the top 10 list of my favourite poems that can move me to tears sometimes, so much I love it.

Me too, miss AT very much but it is nice to be back in a welcoming community such as this one.

Bottom of the world? Oz or NZ?
I'm in China so great to have someone else on here in my time Zone (IN THE FUTURE)

My taste is very eclectic.

Eclectic is kool. sets you off away from the sheep

Welcome
