8 of Wands The first decan of Sagittarius, a decan ruled by Mercury Post at TabulaMundi.com - DECAN WALK: SAGITTARIUS 1, EIGHT OF WANDS – Part I – Tabula Mundi Tarot Small stuff / big stuff, alchemy, Loimos, slang, radio waves, propaganda and more... A great read. As always, Tabula Mundi really illustrates the connection of this minor to the majors with the same astrological correspondences it combines.

Welcome back @Mi-Shell! Wingspan cards sound very cool!

My card is the European Dunnock: This is a robin sized, relatively sectetive forest Bird and that lives in Europe and Asiaand is found in thickets and hedges. It is a migratory species, travelling long distances every year. Here it sits among some quite poky thorns. It however is not bothered by these thorns and rather sings its lovely little song. This little Bird reminds me, that when I go to our local drum circle tonight, I might get a bit og a "thorny" welcome from some participants. I have been away, travelling for several months while many others here are struggeling..... So I will not chirp too much of past travel adventures.......

Well, you all know, that i am slightiy crazzzzy, right? I will prove that this week by experimenting to read with our very large collection of Wingspan cards! 🙂 Wingspan is a board game we love and play often, yesterday for example with a group of 8 players. Each time I draw a new card to ad to my sanctuary i am getting "glimpses" of meanings/ what the card is telling me... So- now let's see 🙂

Welcome back @Bodhiseed and @Rachelcat 😀

Hi all! Thanks, @fire cat pickles! Wow, @Bodhiseed, that's the Oracle of Kabbalah?! I have a deck of the same name, but the card art is just a black Hebrew letter on white card. Is the author Richard Seidman? I'll have to look into this version! In the meantime, for me this week will be Heckadeck Playing Cards, a repeat. I have made up keywords and will be unashamedly using my cheat sheet to read this deck this week. I need to confirm whether this deck and my keywords are actually readable. It’s a French-suited deck that’s more than doubled with extras: Extra suits of acorns (a German suit), clouds, knives, and planets; extra number cards 0 and 11; and extra courts (some I chose to use as courts) beast, talisman, hunter, traveler, and arrow. There are an additional nine cards I’m using as majors: four jokers and five other cards. I hijacked court keywords from an MBTI expansion project I found on Amazon. Let’s get started with an interview. What is your most important characteristic? A Knives, Reason The most important thing about this deck is the fact that I figured out so many keywords for it. What is your strength? 2 Knives, Impartiality It’s a deck that gives it to you straight, not exaggerating the good or bad. Your weakness? 5 Acorns, Breaking free It’s actually pretty traditional and not as creative as it could be. What can I learn from you? Beast of Clubs, Jackalope, Social influencer I can learn that all readings are interpersonal exchanges, not something imposed from the outside, neither the cards you get nor the interpretations. How can I learn it? 6 Diamonds, Plenty I can learn that by comparing reading with this deck with the readings with all my other decks. What will be the outcome of our work together? Red Joker It will be airy and ephemeral. And quick and protective. Fun! We’ll see!

Thank you @Moon-Hermit for the reply. I had a feeling about the Great Throw and you have confirmed that. Yes, the Temple of Fortune seems to be the hard nut to crack. I had heard some of the same rumors. @DanielJUK I do not post copyrighted items so no fear there. The interesting part to all of this is no one comes forth to truly own or claim a copyrighted status. It is almost cloak and dagger as it were. It is also strange that with all the rumors of the last two spreads now being AI generated and such that there is not a clamor against such claims. Weird right ? You can of course understand why people, including those in this forum question it. I do see the reason for your comment and can of course respect it.

A representative of hers posted on the forum a while ago.... They described themselves as promoting her working group - House Corax You can see all their posts here, but they heavily promoted this new book. So it is by her people but they seem to be removing some of her current free archive for the book 😞 The claim about the book is that it has a lost final chapter included. Regular FYI: Please don't post anything here which is copyrighted materials in books, it needs to be from a website or with permission to be okay to post on our forum. Thanks

Hey there, @WizardintheWoods! While the links above do go to a similar page, the old version of the website is still working on Internet Archive. I believe you can still find the links somewhere on the forum. You’re right. It isn’t clear who exactly is behind all this stuff since Jackson passed away, and there are plenty of assumptions circling around the internet about it. But they’re just assumptions, so I won’t speculate about them. The two spreads you are talking about were intended to be the last two layouts covered in the section “for the witch of exceptional memory”, which Dawn never got to complete. I’ve read somewhere on Reddit that the two spreads are included in the new book, but a user commented that they’re both fake and ai-generated. I have no clue if this is true or not, as I haven’t purchased the book either. So, it’s basically just what I’ve read on the internet. While I have no idea about the Temple of Fortune, I have my guesses about the Great Throw. Basically you’ll be using all the cards and count by nines starting from any significator you wish (I saw this on Hedgewytch’s official substack where a subscriber was asking about the great throw). Then you’ll be checking the cards around the card for the house (ace of hearts), etc. to further check the state of the querent’s affairs. Honestly, similar things are covered in classical cartomancy books (Minetta, Foli, Platt, etc.) so I don’t think anyone can actually say anything “new” about this spread. You can apply the general rules of cartomancy that you see in the old works to the tableau you’re working with, read trios, criss-cross, look at the corners and all that. I tried to search for the Temple of Fortune’s layout but sadly couldn’t find anything useful on the web. It would be great to know if it actually exists somewhere else or not. Maybe it’s a spread most cartomancers are already familiar with and just the name’s different…? Jackson had a poetic way of describing and naming things.

Dawn Jackson original site is no more. The links above all seem to go to a similar page. I do not know who is authoring the current book and since I cannot tell if it is someone Dawn gave permission to do so, I won’t buy the book. It seems like supporting someone who just came along and took it up, if you know what I mean. The above sets the stage for my question. The Great Throw and the Temple of Fortune are two spreads by Dawn that I have never found. Does anyone have access to them ? I look not to start trouble or open a Pandora’s Box here. I am not accusing any one of theft of Dawn’s information, it is just not at all clear where the ownership lies. Thanking you in advance for any assistance you might lend !

I'm grateful for you, Fire cat! I'm in this week with the Restored Order Tarot paired with the Oracle of Kabbalah. (Chet artwork by Joel Moskowitz) Fear is the major motivator for all of the action that takes place in the world. ―Larry Winget With a mind as sharp as her sword, the Queen of Swords prefers her conversations to be in person. She knows and notices 'tells,' small unconscious actions that expose a lie, omission or half-truth. Her aim is not to shame others, but to instruct them: fear of the truth means that there is no foundation for solutions or making a better beginning. Chet resembles an archway or doorway and suggests that we have the power of choice to go beyond our normal reactions to life. Many of the barriers that hold us back are imagined; we'll never know what we can accomplish without stepping through that door. As William Shakespeare wrote, “We know what we are, but know not what we may be.”

I'm thinking about backing it, the cards come in a box shaped like a coffin. I am just thinking it over because of the postage costs to the UK 😞

Thank you for posting this. I backed it. ❤️

There's a new kickstarter for an Elvira Mistress of the Dark Tarot Deck https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dynamiteent/elvira-mistress-of-the-dark-illustrated-tarot-card-set It's already fully funded at 10x the amount needed (Elvira is very popular with the gay community as a camp horror Queen). Kickstarter ends on the 22nd December. One interesting thing is that it was made with Cassandra Peterson (Elvira) as a collab with an artist and the writer. One of the pledges is signed decks by her. Her memoir of her life is such a great read and if you like her character, this is a RWS with her as the characters.

It is quite interesting , what this card tole me in the end! I am very pleased and have put the reading into the Stone thread..... 🙂

Today I want to compare the Anieth deck's Muse of Cups - Prince of Cups with the same card from the Stone Tarot's Fior Na Cuacha - Muse of Cups or - here in the deck : Summer, blue, think, figure out, form How different they are! and just as an asside: the LWBs of both decks are identical in text = meanings for the cards. But neither one of these 2 are to me speaking much about anything to do with sex- as the booklet says The poor lonely Fish! Where is his/ her mate? Now the big question I haveis this: Ifffff I had pulled the Fior Na Cuacha instead of the Anieth deck's Muse of Cups as my card of the day a few days ago, would it have also led me to the same conclusion about inflammation and the need of an anti-inflammatory? Well, hindsight is always 20/20 and yes, maybe I would have gotten a different card to point me towards the solution, but for argument's sake, let me see: The Fior Na Cuacha is all blue - for me not a colour of summer, but of truth - deep dark blue = deep er laying truth of the matter Moon - Intuition rays of moon light illuminating the large fish = pointing to a fishy problematic situation deep beneath everyday reality. The Fish is swimming above a tripple circle...... Well, this one thing would have put my nose into a completely different direction - A no less important one, bur far removed from the helpful advise I opened up to, when seeing the Anieth Muse of Cups. What is it? Well: I am leading an indigenous spirituality circle in my house. We are investigating deeper truth and meanings of largely lost indigenous teachings and the next circle is centred around WaterSpirits. The Fish and the circle would have led me into remembering to get stuff ready for our gathering..... which of course is true.

Now I really like this deck. I'm going to have to think about it and study it on a bigger screen than my phone.

@Ferrea Ace of Spades = Ace of Spades Motorhead says it all!

I don't have it (yet) but I have looked at flip troughs several times. I am in an FB group where someone uses it for readings and so far I love all that I have seen of it. I especially like Death and the Hanged One among others. So I can't answer any of your questions. But I am really interested in the answers that you will get.

Earth woman tarot Those who have this deck what do you think about it? Is it worth buying it? How do you like it? It should be easy to read with it as it follow the PCS design/pictures. I have lots of decks do I need this one? does it bring something new or outstanding to a collection? Is it between your favorites? Thank you!
