Coloring the RWS
I've started coloring the RWS, for fun and study purposes. I know I am prone to abandoning my projects so I thought blogging about it might keep me on track better. 😸
The PDFs I'm working with have two cards to a page, so they're about 7 and a half inches tall (19 centimeters). I might switch to four to a page instead, as there would be much less sky to fill in that way. I only printed out the Cups suit so far, so if I switch I won't have wasted much paper. But I'm going to do a few more before I decide.
I'm starting with the Minors because I'm not sure if I want to do the traditional, "official" Major colors, or strike off on my own. There was a thread on AT where Richard was coloring the BOTA tarot and following Paul Foster Case's color directions, and it was so cool kind of watching the process unfold, I'm leaning that way currently. Here's a link to the thread if anyone is interested. Honestly that thread was a big inspiration for me doing this (the other was seeing someone's self-colored RWS on YouTube).
I'm using colored pencil and slightly regretting it already, but my pencils are ancient and come to find out, they can "go bad". As in the pigments can fade, and/or the wax binder can get absorbed into the wood, if they're stored somewhere too warm. I had to do So. Many. Layers to get any coverage at all. I think I have newer pencils somewhere around here, if not I'll get some new ones. I tried using alcohol as a blending solvent but it hardly made a difference. I do want to experiment with solvents for blending though (odorless mineral spirits seem to be what most people use).
Anyway here's the first one, the Ace of Cups. Not following the original coloring, but not too far off. I'm regretting that pink cloud but oh well. And I meant to leave a white "glow" around the hand but I was on the phone while coloring and got distracted. But I decided I'm not going to re-do any until I at least finish a full suit. My printer didn't do a great job. Uneven coverage, and you can see where it smeared a bit on the borders, but honestly? I am okay with that. It means they started out flawed to begin with, so I'm less critical of my own mistakes.
Also can we talk about how PCS drew that hand? The weirdly long fingers and the bizarre thumb? I will never feel bad about not being good at hands again!
More to come!

Moonlit Boons
For the 24, 25;; and 26th of January 2024:
From 9PM to Midnight, take the time to settle down somewhere calm, relax, breathe deeply; and visualise the Full Moon. Beautiful sceneries, beautiful animals... And let the energies they carry flow through you. Those energies of beauty, tenderness, and Love. Be sure to record and remember everything you will feel, see and hear. Let that magical moment imprint itself in you. And if you wish to talk about what you experienced; do not hesitate to let me know. Changes are coming fast, and we must move akingside them.
I will be with you.
With Love and Light.🌜 Mitou 🌛

Hi all, I'm new. I found this forum looking for an alternative to a forum where I used to study.
I learned from learntarot.com at first, with a random crappy Lo Scarabeo deck from a mall. I made my first informed choice of deck, Clive Barret's Ancient Egyptian, from Aeclectic Tarot reviews & studied with the posters there. This is what I typically use to read for others. I like my Ancient Egyptian for combining and playing with both RWS and Thoth traditions. I'm not much fond of RWS itself but I can appreciate its influences in other decks and its clones too; I just don't think the og RWS inspires me.
I have also enjoyed Hermetic Tarot and Robin Wood which I gave to a friend (but I wouldn't mind acquiring it again sometime). Ultimately I got into Thoth. My best unexpectedly good deck is the Game of Thrones Tarot. I have also enjoyed using cards virtually with Orphalese where my favorite deck to use is Neon Moon.This is a pretty consumerist entry. I have a personal relationship with the cards but I'm not great at writing it. I'm not much a neo-pagan at my roots. But thru my study of Tarot and it's connected materials, numerology, astrology, etc, I have appreciated and appropriated some neo-pagan practices. These communities have welcomed me (mostly 😉 ) I would usually describe myself as an atheist but at my most mystical I might try to describe as a kind of psychedelic Jungian techno-animist.

#2 MASTERY OF MIND
• How can I quell angst and worry?
#3 BOTANICALS
