  • Autumn Equinox Spread

    I opted out of the Tarot Blog Hop for the Autumn Equinox – not because I didn’t want to do it – but I am up to my armpits in Court Card exercises in the TABI Training (Group 1 – fabulous collection of students *high fives any who might be reading*) and I just didn’t have the time to devote that the Hop deserves.

    But I wanted to join in in some way – so here’s my contribution:

    I love the Autumn Equinox.  I just love Autumn and the thought of settling down somewhere snuggly with my seed catalogues in one hand and a glass of red in the other…… I might have been a dormouse in a previous life, I think 🙂

    Here’s a 3-card spread to do at this time of year.  The Equinox is alllllll about balance – the days and nights are the same length, the ying and the yang, the in and the out, the ebb and the flow…..  But we lack balance in our lives.  Or maybe that’s just me.  It could be that glass of red wine :-).  This spread seeks to redress that balance.

    First of all, get the 16 Court Cards mobilised into a single section.  I used the Druid Craft Courts simply because I had them all close to hand.

    And I used the Morgan Greer deck for the main body of the spread.

    It’s very simple. Cards 1 and 2 are laid out as if at either end of a see-saw and Card 3 goes in the middle

    Card 1:  This is where I am unbalanced and SHORT/DEFICIENT
    Card 2:  This is where I am unbalanced and OVER-ENDOWED
    Card 3: This Court brings me back into balance

    In my reading, Card 1 was the 6 of Wands – Victory. Absolutely. I’m useless at celebrating or even acknowledging my own victories in life.  Believe me, there’s a seething foam of Scottish Presbyterianism churning under the veneer of normality here 🙂

    Card 2 was the 10 of Cups – It feels a bit odd to say that I am over-endowed with family! But what I feel the card alludes to is that I make sacrifices for my family and perhaps I’m hiding/denying too much of myself in order to maintain a happy family? Yes, I can see that too.  There are lots of things I’d love to do, but I don’t do them because I feel that I’ve got to keep the status quo.  Not keep Status Quo.  Although I wouldn’t MIND keeping Status Quo.  Upstairs under lock and key.  *50 Shades of Denim face*

    So who helps me bring all this back into balance? The King of Swords.  In the Druidcraft he looks interested and thoughtful – able to think up a solution (Airy and Swordsy) and able to demonstrate it (Kingly and Fiery).

    Somehow this guy is going to sort it all out for me and over the next few days, I’m going to meditate on the 3 cards of this spread, in pairs (6 Wands and King; King and 10 Cups) and see what solutions he offers me.

    If you try the spread, I’d love to know how it works out for you!

    Happy Equinox, dear reader!

  • September | New Moon | The King of Cups

    Odin – just hanging around

    And so we are huddled once again in the darkness of a moonless night! A sliver of new moon will be upon us – and whose energies will guide me from now until the moon is full once again?

    The Father of Cups from the Haindl, that’s who.

    This deck is very special to me.  It was the first ‘fancy’ Tarot deck that I ever bought.  It was also the first purchase that I ever made on ebay!  I *know.*  I’m a veritable FONT of spiritual insight.

    The image in the card depicts Odin, the Head Honcho god of the Norse pantheon.  The suit of Cups represents the North and the Northern Gods.  Interestingly, the Queen of Cups is The Willdendorf goddess, which I mentioned earlier this month, here.

    We see Odin hanging upside down (exactly like the Hanged Man card) suspended on the World Tree, Yggdrasil.  He is reaching into the Underworld to find the Runes – you may just be able to pick them out, scattered on the ground beneath his outstretched hand.  He has been half-blinded (a payment he made to Mimir) in return for a drink from the giant’s well.  The name Mimir means memory, apparently.  I may have remembered that wrong. *boom tish – eyethankyoo*

    Odin was more than just the Leader of the Norse pack and a God of War, he is also closely associated with more ‘Cups’ orientated subjects such as poetry and magic.  I’m hoping that it’s his Cups associations rather than his warlike tendancies that are coming to the fore for me!

    I usually think of the King of Cups as a slightly laughable figure – kind and diplomatic of course, but always slightly mystified as to where he’s left his car keys.  A bit of a buffoon.  Which is terribly unkind of me and probably says more about the influence of Wands and Swords on me than the poor Father of Cups!

    Yet here he is, taking me by the hand to guide me through to the full moon.

    So – until the full moon, I am prepared to go with the flow, to surrender (Hanged Man stylee) to the Father of Cups and Life Itself (which is totally unlike me).  I will endeavour to be kind and considerate; to accept people at face value; to be diplomatic (let me tell you right now, your bum does NOT look big in that).

    And most importantly, now is the time for me to reach into my own underworld and emerge with knowledge and magic… slightly scary prospect! But if I am prepared to trust the King of Cups, this is the time to do it.

    I’ve taken to intermittent fasting (fast for 24 hours, twice a week) and have been considering a deeper fast with more spiritual endeavours….

    I wondered whether I was on the right track with my thoughts bout the King and drew another card to modify him (as I do with the amplifiers exercise).  I drew the 7 of Wands: Courage.  So I think I’m on the right track after all 😀

    What does the King of Cups mean in your life, right now?

  • Amplifiers | Child of Fire | Passion

    Sometimes a Court Card can just stump us – and our client.  No matter what we say about the energies of the character in the card, the client can’t relate it to either herself or anyone that they know.

    When that happens, I use an Oracle card to help point me in the right direction.  You can read more about this idea here and here.

    Today’s card combination really does what it says on the tin – which might make interpretations more tricky!  We have the delightful Child of Fire (equating to the Page of Wands) from the gorgeous Gaian Tarot by Joanna Colbert-Powell and the amplifier card is Passion, from Mindy Somers’ Dreaming in Colour Lumen deck.

    The Child of Fire finds joy in the dancing flames before him and he reaches out his hand – to touch it? To just feel the heat a little more?

    This card reminds me of an anecdote told by Aleister Crowley (he of the ‘wickedest man in the world’ fame. The world had clearly never met Simon Cowell).  When he was a youngster, Crowley was out walking with his father.  The duo encountered a huge patch of nettles.  His father told him to keep away from the stinging weeds, but young Aleister didn’t want to listen to the warning, he wanted to EXPERIENCE it for himself – so he ignored his dad and got stung to blazes for his troubles!

    The Page is alllll about experiencing new things and finding delight in that experience.

    But what if your sitter doesn’t recognise this person, these traits? The card pulled at random as the Amplifier is Passion.  Red tulip-like blooms blossom over the card – what does this add to our understanding of the Child of Fire?

    What does ‘passion’ mean to you? How does it affect the Child of Fire?

    I’d love to hear your thoughts on this card combo!

  • The King and Queen of Pentacles | Druidcraft Tarot

    The King and Queen of Pentacles | Druidcraft Tarot

    We’ve looked at all the other couples of the Court, now we turn our attention to the final Royal Mr and Mrs: The King and Queen of Pentacles, depicted here in the DruidCraft Tarot (Philip & Stephanie Carr-Gomm and Will Worthington).

    As the Pentacles govern the North, Winter, Midnight, the Winter Solstice and Earth (in my system), I find these cards excellent representations of these mystical, wintery feelings.

    Both are dressed in green in red, but whereas the Queen is in mainly red with a green hood and cloak, the King is in green with a red cloak – nicely yin and yang.

    Are you rather surprised that the Queen is depicted out of doors while the King is holed up, nice and cosy in the great hall – the fire roaring away behind him with the hog on the spit?  The Queen is, after all, associated with the nurturing and growth aspects of a suit – why have the King all toasty and warm?

    I think that the King has been depicted like this because the King of Pentacles also represents the luxury of success.  This is the Druidcraft equivalent of the big corner office and if they had been invented, the King of Pentacles would have been wearing red braces and smoking a fat Havana cigar.

    He is Earth and Fire (Pentacles and a King) which can be VERY productive if the energies are handled correctly – too much fire and the Pentacles energy hardens and shatters.  Controlled fire, as in a kiln, can create much that is useful and luxurious.

    The oak leaves oh his shield, by his side, tell us that he’s a wise, strong and a slow to react sort of a chap.

    His bare foot rests on a plinth that depicts a goat – Capricorn – although I tend to think of him as a Taurean character – what do you think?

    The Queen sits in a similar pose to her husband and she plays on her bodrum drum with a snow-white bone – simple and effective.  It feels to me, looking at these two characters side by side, that he is more interested in high status and symbols of success (heck, even his BEARD looks fancy!) than his good lady wife, who is content to play her music outdoors to the audience of a single bemused hare.

    The hare halts as he hops past, his winter coat contrasting against the greening grass.  Hares are prolific breeders – a nod to the Queen of Pentacles ability to create (on many levels!)

    At her feet are snowdrops – the earliest herald of Spring – and the dark silhouette of a naked tree shivers behind her.  Yet she doesn’t look cold.  She is at home here.  In her element.  The Queen is Water and Earth – the creative pulse of our planet.

    While the King rests his feet on a Capricorn goat, the Queen’s throne is decorated with the Taurean bull.  What do you think of these associations – do you have them the other way around?

    Both these royals are barefoot – this keeps them close to their native element, the earth, and keeps them grounded and in tune with their roots.

    The sky behind both seem to be at the liminal stages of either dawn or dusk.  I choose to see the King at dusk and the Queen at dawn. These threshold periods are important magically and just as the King presides over the dusk and the Queen the dawn, between them they oversee our safety through the dark of the night, and also the dark of the winter.

    As a pair, depicted this way, neither of them seem particularly bothered about the other – but they appear relaxed in each other’s company.  The other way around, their heads incline towards each other, with the Queen looking a bit more interested in the comfortable surroundings of her hubby.  The King, on the other hand, continues to gaze out at us as if to say ‘yeah, I knew she couldn’t stay out there in the cold for ever.’

    What do you think of the King and Queen of Pentacles?

    Update 24/4/19 – there is an updated V3 of Druidcraft Tarot available to buy – larger box means larger accompanying book!

  • Blue Moon! The Queen of Wands | Mary El

    We had a Blue Moon the other night, the last one for quite some time (next one is 2015) so I paid close attention to my full moon reading this time.

    …and you may have noticed that I’ve not been around much – a combination of school holidays and quite a lot of work. And, if I’m honest, a bit of soul-searching too.

    This is going to be a significant card for me. I can feel it in my waters….

    Who has come along to guide me through the slightly murky waters of the next couple of weeks?  This is a slightly different slant on what I usually do with the Full Moon/New Moon cards. Usually I ask whose energies will be incoming (at a New Moon reading) and fading (at the Full Moon reading).  This time I’m looking for a navigator to the New Moon – someone to hold my hand and keep me moving forwards.

    And the card is the Queen of Wands from the Mary-El Tarot.

    I am hugely relieved because the Queen of Wands means a great deal to me and I confess to feeling a bit more like the Queen of Wands reversed recently – my va-va-voom had va-va-moosed!

    Let’s take a look at Marie White’s Queen of Wands.

    The first thing that strikes me about the card are the earthy tones – rich browns that initially feel more like they belong to the Queen of Pentacles rather than the fiery Queen of Wands.  The second thing that I notice is that she is a massive figure of a woman – filling the entire card with her generous proportions. She’s completely Willendorfian, isn’t she?  She clutches a jaguar cub, a sacred animal.

    Marie’s book that accompanies the deck states: ‘She shows you yourself, the greatest gift you can receive. She provides a safe, warm and abundant environment where you can grow from a small cub to a powerful jaguar yourself.

    ‘She helps you develop yourself into your full potential with a clear vision of yourself…your growth and creativity.’

    I really needed to hear that right now as I have been struggling (as do many of us!) with what in the HECK my vision of myself is!  I wear many hats (not literally, although I am partial to something with a broad brim that I vainly hope makes me look like Margaret Lockwood in The Wicked Lady) and I enjoy most of them. But there is also a nagging voice that tells me that I’ve lost something, left something behind, that is really important.  It feels a lot like not knowing exactly where your handbag is.

    If I pulled this Queen of Wands for YOU, in the role of helper, for the period up to the New Moon, how would she help you explore and develop your full potential?

    …and just in case you’re wondering:

    Margaret Lockwood: Never-knowingly under-hatted

  • Lammas Blog Hop | My favourite Pentacle….

    Welcome to the OTHER Game of Thrones!

    My Tarot blog concentrates on the 16 characters of the Tarot Court and my goal is to help demystify these cards and ensure that readers have a wealth of ideas to draw upon when the cards arise during a reading.  And to have a bit of fun with them too!

    If you’re interested in improving your relationship with the Tarot Court, please click to follow Tarot Thrones…over there on the right hand side.

    You may be here because you are hopping from Christiane’s blog to Joanne’s blog or vice versa for the Lammas Tarot Blog Hop or you may have just wandered here via a tweet or facebook.  Whichever path you have followed to find me, I am very glad to see you!

    In this Blog Hop, we were to look at our favourite Pentacle card. Because my blog focuses entirely on Court Cards, I’m keeping within that structure and limiting myself to choosing from the four courts (how very Pentacly!).  It’s a no-brainer – it’s got to be the Knight of Pentacles for me.  And my favourite image of him is this one, from the Pamela Colman-Smith Commemorative set issued by US Games Systems.

    I hold my hands up – I admit it, in the past I have been easily seduced into bed by the fiesty Knight of Wands….intellectually challenged by the prickly Knight of Swords and utterly charmed by the romance of the Knight of Cups.  At a party, the Knight of Pentacles probably wouldn’t have got a second glance from me.  Although I might have sent him off to the bar to bring me back a drink.

    And yet, as I get older, I appreciate more and more the qualities of the Knight of Pentacles.

    I love the practical streak that allows him to carry out so many small jobs with a quiet confidence that leaves the blustering Knight of Wands weakly reaching for his wallet.

    The Knight of Pentacles has an intimate knowledge of valves and screws and the workings of machines.  He may put on a show of being reluctant to help out, but his fingers dance over the various cogs or screws.  The Knight of Swords, on the other hand,  frantically flicks through the instruction manual looking for clues as to what needs tweaking.  Or thumped with a hammer.

    And the Knight of Cups?

    Let me share a story with you.  When my son was born, 12 years ago this very week, there were another three women in the ward whose babies arrived soon after mine.  Their husbands brought them bouquets of blooms that scented the ward with tendrils of scent from exotic lands…..armfuls of red roses in crackling sellophane sleeves and gas-filled balloons that bobbed up to ceiling height when they escaped their boxes, trailing ribbons and perspex bubbles with either a blue or pink teddy bear inside.

    Beautiful.

    What did I get?

    An inkjet printer for my computer.

    Practical.  And the source of much hilarity amongst the new sleep-deprived mothers.

    But I had that printer for YEARS and every time I used it, I thought of the day that my son was born and wondered how long the bouquets of flowers lasted 🙂

    This Knight is loyal, hard-working (check out those immaculately ploughed furrows!), strong and resilient.  But he’s not yet got that outward mastery of The King – the Knight can also be unbearably stubborn (see: outright refusal to read the operating instructions  before using an appliance), unable to pay you a compliment without some irritated prompting from yourself and he is totally bamboozled by your need to own more than one pair of black high heels.

    And if you decide to have A Deep Conversation one morning in bed as you both sup your cups of tea – good luck!  A ‘Deep Conversation’ for the Knight of Pentacles is one that is held down a mine-shaft.

    I once heard it said that the Knights of Wands and Swords would be the first into battle, followed by the Knight of Cups (who is probably composing a sonnet in his head about the war as he canters towards the fighting).

    And the Knight of Pentacles?  He would be the last to venture into the fight, but once he was there, he would be the last to leave it.

    And the only one to buy you a printer for your computer….

     

  • Meet The King and Queen of Cups

    Reverting once more to the glorious Court Cards of the Druidcraft Tarot, I’m introducing you to Mr and Mrs Cups.

    The Queen of Cups stands on the shore of some tranquil waters, her bare toes dipping into the glassy cool depths.  Unlike the other Queens of the Druidcraft, she is standing, her throne can be seen some steps away with a serpent lying close at hand.

    Her hair is covered by an elaborately embroidered hood and she stands, eyes closed (or downcast?) as she holds her golden cup before her, as if she is working a ritual.

    The full moon floats eerily above the chalice, almost like an accessory in a conjuring trick.

    The sky is changing – either dawn or dusk.  I like to think of it as dusk because the Cups rule the Autumn and the West and so dusk is the time of day that resonates with these qualities (Wands being midday, Pentacles being midnight and Swords being dawn).  These times of the day are special – offering us gateways to travel between worlds.

    There is also a black beetle near the edge of her cloak. …. some people think that this is a scarab beetle, but I’m not sure and the book is silent – as is the Druid Animal Oracle by the same creators (Will Worthington and Phillip & Stephanie Carr-Gomm).  But I’ll find out 😀

    The atmosphere in the card feels silent, but somehow charged-up by the Queen’s actions.  The characters feel like Irish Celts – from the embroidery and colouring of her robes to the snake on the ground.  In Ireland the Christian church drove out the druids (the adders) and that’s why there are no snakes in Ireland.  Or so the story goes.  So she’s definitely got Irish Druidy connections for me.

    As Water of Water, she vibrates to a single element – love, compassion, empathy and the creative impulse are very strong.  An ‘unhealthy’ Queen of Cups (ie reversed position) could be manipulative, selfish, clinging and *cough* wet.

    She doesn’t need her eyes to see you, she can tap into your emotional state.  This can leave her vulnerable to energy vampires (oh, you know what that is – the toxic friend that leaves you washed out and exhausted after a self-absorbed telephone call)

    To remain healthy, she needs to ensure that it’s only her toes that get into that emotional water!

    Take a look at the King.  He sits on his throne like a well-stuffed sofa!

    His crown is bald and he wears a circlet of gold.  He does not face out towards us like the Wands King and his close relation the King of Swords.  Instead he looks off to the right, an attitude that I associate with looking to the future.

    He is musical – his harp lies by his side.  And a great wolfhound lies behind his throne.  This is a loyal husband and a wise man (see the salmon of wisdom in the watery depths).

    He does not enter the water.  Unlike the Queen, the King is Water and Fire. He is aware of the emotions (he looks out over rippling water) but he does not act from them. He can understand your emotions but is perhaps better at knowing what needs to be actually DONE.  In this respect he is a master of diplomacy.

    But he can be found working in the caring professions, where what you need is a compassionate response, but someone who is still able to take action.

    There can be a conflict going on within this man.  Sometimes what he needs to do is at odds with how he really feels.  So he can really feel stressed out by situations when this conflict arises.

    He sits in a similar dusky landscape with the sun just going down.  But whereas the Queen has Irish connections for me, the rock formation in the distance of the King’s card looks like the Old Man of Hoy, which is on the Orkney islands of Scotland.  So you can make up your own mind about this duo’s Celtic origins!

    There have been ruins found on Orkney of a settlement called Skara Brae that archaeologists are increasingly convinced are the ruins of a centre of artistic/spiritual leaders…. perhaps like Anglesey was for the Druids?  Perhaps the Cups are from this community?

    Placing them side by side, The King looks at his Queen.  More specifically,  he looks at her cup.  In fact, even if you line up their horizons, the King still looks at her Cup.  His focus is not on her beauty or form, even though they face each other.  And her eyes, as we have noted, are closed.

    Placing them the other way around, the figures are back to back.  With the Queen looking to the left which is, for me, looking back to the past, to the Old Ways.  Whereas the King looks out to the right, to the future….

    What do you think? What would you add to the King and Queen of Cups?

  • Hello again King of Coins!

    The moon has just hidden her light again and that’s the signal for me to pull another card for myself for the incoming energies from now until the full moon.

    And this particular slice of  divine Tarot gorgeousness comes, once again, from Kat Black’s Touchstone Tarot (see earlier cards here and here.  It’s the King of Coins. Again.

    This guy has been popping in and out of my life recently like a fiddler’s elbow!

    This King regards us with a steady gaze as he sits at table – his plate of oysters and glass of wine await his attentions.  But look at the toppled pitcher, you wouldn’t expect THAT at the King’s table.

    I wonder….what dining shenanigans we have just interrupted?!

    Kat says that this is a man who is enjoying the success that his affluence has brought. He’s no penny-pinching miser of a king – he’s a man who enjoys his luxuries in life.  Unlike our current crop of bankers, this is a rich man who is TRUSTWORTHY.  Prone to giving to worthy causes, he’s kind and approachable.

    The images that swirl together to make this composite King of Coins include Hans Holbein The Younger (for both face and body – from two different portraits).  And, most pleasingly to me, the feather in his hat is by Cecco de Caravaggio.

    I’ve just read Caravaggio by Andrew Graham-Dixon and Cecco was the dimple-faced youth who featured in many of Caravaggio’s paintings, including my absolute favourite ‘Amor Vincit Omnia’.  They may or may not have been lovers – but I like to think that somewhere, just out of sight – perhaps right behind the artist – are a couple of the King’s companions – happily squiffy and up to goodness knows WHAT – maybe sticking a couple of irreverent fingers up as rabbit ears behind the viewer’s head?  In fact, IS that King looking right at us or is he looking at someone just off to the viewer’s left?

    If only those companions had remembered to set the pitcher upright, we would have been none the wiser.

    This King indicates that it’s ok for me to enjoy myself a little.  Cut myself some slack and splash out on a few things that give me pleasure.  Maybe go out for dinner with some friends and not limit myself to a couple of polite glasses of vino….rewind to the good old pre-baby days!

    And maybe it’s time to bin-off the £9.99 skinny-leg jeans from The Factory Shop and splash out on something that isn’t worn through on the behind.  Although I blame this blog for wearing through the seat of my jeans.  And possibly facebook 😀

    What does the King of Pentacles bring to YOUR life?

  • OOTK | Part II | Hunt the (scary!) Lady!

    Kali: Do not go home to her
    with a burst pay-packet

    So, following on from the earlier post about the initial stage of the OOTK spread, we move on to the second procedure but remember, you need never move further through the spread than this section, if that’s what you’re comfortable with.

    Here I’ve used the Haindl Tarot, for the question:  So, what do I do next with my Tarot aspirations?

    For my significator card, I chose the Queen of Wands (because she is generally the character to whom I aspire!) and in the Haindl, she is the somewhat bum-clenchingly scary Kali. <- I usually pick the Queen of Wands for more, erm, WHOLESOME reasons 🙂

    Given that my question involves ‘work’ I would be expecting it on either the Fire pile or perhaps the Earth pile…. and lo! there she was right at the top of the Earth pile.


    Here are the four stacks:

    Looking at the photo, from left to right we have Mother of Wands, The Magician, Justice and the Daughter of Wands. If you click on the photo, it will enlarge.  I think.

    Hmmm – what do you think of that?

    Kali was right on the top of the bundle, but if you need to search for your Significator, don’t disturb the order of the cards as you edge through them.

    Once you locate your Significator, spread them out in a line or fan shape.  Run it onto two lines if you’re a bit short of space.  As I was.

    And now we count! My authority for counting is Crowley’s Book of Thoth:

    * Knights, Queens and Princes (Kings, Queens and Knights, depending on your deck) – count 4
    * Princesses (Pages) – count 7
    * Aces – count 11
    * Major Arcana – count 3 for Elemental Majors, count 9 for Planetary Majors, count 12 for Zodiac””
    * Minor Arcana – count the face value (ie 3 of Stones, count 3)

    When counting, include the card itself as your first count.

    And, basically, make up ‘a story’ <- direct quote from Crowley there!

    You stop counting once you have ended up back on a card that you have previously landed on.

    You may also count in the opposite direction, just to see which cards REALLY have relevance (cards that come up when counting both ways) and which cards are resolutely refusing to get involved (cards that you never alight on!)

    In some versions, you can even CHANGE the direction that you are counting on in mid-stream, depending on what way your Pages/Princesses are facing, if you fancy it – but I don’t recommend that or you just end up in the most awful guddle!  Or maybe that’s just me 🙂

    When creating your story, you can refer to the cards either side of the card that you land on, using elemental dignities or just straightfoward Tarot interps, to create meaning and structure.

    Here’s a little slideshow to show you how my cards turned out:

    I know.  Oliver Stone I am not 🙂
    I appreciate that it all goes a bit quickly, so here are the photos so that you can see the images a bit more clearly:
    9 Swords Cruely, flanked by 2 Wands Dominion and Hierophant

    5 Wands flanked by 8 Swords Interference and Ace of Wands

    8 Cups, flanked by Mother of Stones (QoP) and Father of Stones (KoP)

    The Hierophant, flanked by 9 Swords Cruelty and The Lovers

  • Exercise | Tarot and Oracle Amplifier

    Trying a new meme for you here!  If I supply a question and a couple of cards, would you be prepared to have a bash at answering the question?

    I’m hoping that you’re nodding and not gently banging your head off the keyboard 🙂

    Here’s the first hypothetical question:  I have a difficult relationship with my step-son, what can I do to improve things between us?

    We’ve got the Page of Swords from Cilla Conway’s Intuitive Tarot and the Inspiration card from the Dreaming In Colour Oracle by Mindy Sommers.

    Here’s an earlier post that I wrote about using an Oracle deck as a way to amplify specific features of your Court Card.

    What would you say to a sitter, with this question, with these two cards?

    Don’t spend more than a couple of minutes on it – it’s just a bit of fun!

    Hoping Friday the 13th isn’t too rough for you!
