M.M. Meleen, who created the Telos Tarot of 777, Tabula Mundi, Pharos, and Rosetta tarots started a decan walk on her blog in March that will carry us through a year. She describes it this way* --

"The decan walk is an accessible and truly enriching way to understand the powers of the decans through direct experience and observation over a solar year. During the roughly 10-day period of each decan, one connects with the energies of the sign and planet involved in each of the thirty-six minor arcana. One observes how they experience them during the actual period of the decan. It is a powerful way to connect to a deck, and to the experience of being a solar being moving through time and space. As the Sun moves through each decan, one notes the flavors of the decan and how it changes their experience of time and space."

"The possible activities one might perform during the period to deepen the connection are innumerable and personal to the aspirant.

They can include (but certainly are not limited to):

• invocations and evocations

• the creation of art

• writing poetry, or journaling

• meditations on the card, pathworking and interacting with the figures

• creation of an altar displaying the decan card and related cards, with appropriate offerings to planetary or other deities

• lectio divina, or devotional reading

• educational reading about the deities, and their stories, mythologies, or astrological elements"

For the club, we'll have a post for each decan, and members can comment about whatever practices, creations or thoughts you'd like to share for the current decan and its card. You don't need to be an astrology expert to jump in with whatever feeling the current tarot card gives you as you associate it with the time of the year it represents. It's an enjoyable way to experience the decans in tarot and to explore them further.  🙂 

@Nemia has been doing her own decan walk here on the forum for years and kindly agreed that I could link to her journal which talks about the practice and has a sample calendar of tarot cards for a decan. See https://www.thetarotforum.com/forums/topic/13833-nemia-keeping-the-time-with-tarot/#findComment-238073

The entire journal is worth a read for excellent content about the decans. 

Meleen will be posting on her blog with Telos Tarot of 777. It's not required -- you can use any deck(s) based on the Thoth or Waite-Smith -- but if you're interested in using the same deck, there's currently a discount on Telos: code DECANWALK2025 at tarotcart.com
