How are you working to deepen your Tarot practice right now?

Right now, I am working on getting myself back. I am not in a good headspace to do any deep diving of studying.

When I get there, I want to finish Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom. I want to get out my notebooks that I have started long ago and get back into my deep dive into studying the cards.

Share three Tarot books you’d recommend.

Complete Book of Tarot Spreads by Evelin Burger and Johannes Fiebig. Lots of cool spreads and other info about reading the cards.

Tarot for Your Self, Mary K. Greer. This is more of a workbook than a book book. There is more than one way to skin a cat and this book shows you how you can work with the tarot.

Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom, Rachel Pollack. I have the 1st edition (the 2nd came out recently) and I have not read the whole thing but, wow. It breaks down all ways you can look at each card and really give you a lot to think about, each card.

Why did you decide to start reading Tarot?

Because it was a magick I could master on my own.

Like I said, there were always the shows/movies with the old woman with a pack of cards, laying out, what I learn to be, the Celtic cross.

And this was before I starting studying witchcraft.

If I had a crystal ball, I would have started there. The cards were there, sitting for me at Hastings, waiting for me. Tarot and oracle cards are my forms of divination. I don’t think I want to learn anything more then that.

i'm trying

i’m trying.

i didn’t want to blog till after i got done with all these tarot prompts but, i needed to make good use of my time and not play Age of Mythology.

i know i need to blog about my non-binaryness. i want it down in words how i see myself.

i know i need to do a lot of work on myself. i want to be better.

there are things that i have agreed upon in my mind that i have not said out loud. there are secrets i am keeping from those who are trying to help me and with that, i need to get set right.

i am seeing a path on how to get right. i need to take action and get to it. my month card is the 7 of Pumpkins. i am not planting good things so there are no good things coming towards me.

i think Saturday i need to ward the house and get going.

What’s the hardest thing about reading Tarot?

Memorizing all the meanings of the cards. There are some that do not click with me and I can not keep them in my head.

What’s the most innovative reimagining of a Tarot card you’ve seen?

I wasn’t raised on the Rider-Waite deck, like I said, it was the Halloween Tarot that was my first real deck. My Devil wears a blue dress in my deck.

So, some things are not so “sacred” to me because of that fact. I do keep my eye out for different versions of the 3 of Swords, that card has a special place in my heart.

Share one special technique you love for interpreting the cards.

A technique I learned from Complete Book of Tarot Spreads by Evelin Burger and Johannes Fiebig is the Quintessential Card.

You throw your cards. You add the number on the cards, Court and Major cards are 0. You keep adding the numbers till you get a number between 0 and 21 and apply that number to the Major Arcana. That is your Quintessential Card.

I use it as an overall theme of the reading. It gives me a signpost to what is the meat of my readings.

Which card do you use as your significator?

I’m not one for significators. It’s just not something I’ve gotten into.

The one I do use is the Queen of Swords. That’s based on Complete Book of Tarot Spreads by Evelin Burger and Johannes Fiebig and that being my court card based on my Zodiac sign.
