Is The Empress Garden Your Backyard? (Time to Pull Some Mental Weeds)
Tanga commented on Cariabella's blog entry in Tarot for self-development and shadow work🙃 You can "replant" by designing a sigil alla Austin Osman Spare, representing your goal. This is a Chaos Magician technique - they believe everything is down to you reprogramming your subconscious belief. (Creating a Sigil alla Spare method: write down your goal in one short affirmation. remove all the consonants from the affirmation. remove all the double vowels that remain. With the remaining vowels - use your creative imagination to draw a sigil using the shapes of those vowels. When you have arrived at a beautiful and interesting shape - this is your magickal Sigil. You can now put it under your pillow. Carry it in your pockets. Do a ritual with it.... etc. You don't have to remember over time what the Sigil represents. The shape will subconsciously wind it's way in and reprogram your core belief system). If your goal - can be represented by a single Tarot card. You can decide to use that card instead (of designing a sigil from an affirmation). I would work on making some-sort of Sigil or re-inspired emblem/simpler image of the card - so that you spend some conscious active creative time "working the idea into your subconscious mind". Today

Is The Empress Garden Your Backyard? (Time to Pull Some Mental Weeds)
Cariabella posted a blog entry in Tarot for self-development and shadow workWhat does your subconscious look like right now? If it’s healthy and thriving, it probably looks exactly like The Empress—lush, vibrant, and effortlessly creative. That beautiful backyard is the ultimate mental goal. But if you haven’t checked on it lately, it might look like a chaotic jungle of overgrown weeds and old anxieties. That is where creative imagination comes in. It’s the process of grabbing a shovel, digging out the weeds, and reclaiming your yard. By bridging the gap between psychologist Carl Jung and Tarot master Paul Foster Case, you get the ultimate gardening manual for your soul. Carl Jung: The Weed Puller (Bottom-Up) Jung believed imagination was the raw language of our deepest mind—the collective unconscious. • The Method: Active Imagination. You stop overthinking, let your mind "play," and invite your inner Shadow out to talk without judging it. • The Goal: Finding the weeds. By facing the messy parts of your psyche, you yank them up by the roots so your inner soil can breathe. Paul Foster Case: The Landscape Architect (Top-Down) Once Jung helps you clear the dead weight, Case shows up with a blueprint to redesign the place. He mapped out how to reprogram the subconscious mind using three Tarot keys: • The Magician (Conscious Mind): Your focused intent. He holds the shiny new seed you want to grow. • The High Priestess (Subconscious Mind): The deep, mysterious memory-well. She is the rich, raw soil. • The Empress (Creative Imagination): The cosmic womb. She takes all your old experiences, mashes them together, and grows them into a beautiful new reality. The Ultimate Gardening Hack: The Two-Step Loop Jung teaches us how to clear the yard; Case teaches us what to plant. They are a two-man backyard renovation crew! Next time you sit down with your deck, try this: • The Jung Step (Weed Control): When you are faced with a situation that stirs your emotions and you feel you don’t like it, it's time to go deep inside and ask: "Why did I get this reaction?" You are finding and pulling the weeds. • The Case Step (Replanting): Once the soil is clear, decide what you want to create. Meditate on it and hold a crystal-clear vision of your goal. Plant that seed deep into your subconscious, and let it grow. "The rich fertility, calm peace, and ability to order your life aright... are your inalienable possessions." — Paul Foster Case -

Deck of the Week Sign-up Thread, Week 470: Jul. 6 - Jul. 12
Mi-Shell replied to fire cat pickles's topic in Deck of the WeekMy card for early morning Wednesday was the Armadillo. It reminded me, that some times, some days it is good to have a thick, virtually impenetrable skin. It cam in handy, when we got ranted on by Market board members who gave us extra and unwanted "volunteer duties" Armadillo will meet Coyote pubs with little sharp teeth undeterred and unharmed and just walk on. For the curious readers, here is what's on the back: Today I drew the Moose. It is still too early to say, how the day will proceed, but Hotha the Moose stands for gentleness and strengths in a human being and the card became very poignant, when I looked up from my card table and saw one of our young bull Moose outside in the creek. ♥ Last week

Hi forum
Saturn Celeste replied to Lakewater's topic in IntroductionsThe Radiant Rider Waite deck comes with a reference book with color images of the deck as well as the deck itself. It's great for beginners! Also, the Liz Dean: The Ultimate Guide to Tarot has full color pages. The deck used in this book is also the Radiant Rider Waite but it is the book only if you don't want to buy another tarot deck. Welcome to the forum! -
Deck of the Week Sign-up Thread, Week 470: Jul. 6 - Jul. 12
BrightEye replied to fire cat pickles's topic in Deck of the WeekTarot works in interesting ways. This morning I was doing research on a new project, broadly to do with literary depictions of inundation and rising sea levels. I was shuffling my deck and drew the World and then the Page of Pentacles. This page is a researcher. The texts for World in this deck comes with all sorts of water and ocean imagery: life as an ocean of contrasts, seeing the seven seas in a glass of water etc. and the focal point of the image is a body of water. So the deck was clearly picking up on my morning activity. But what I find particularly fascinating is that the text in the book also uses water and ocean metaphors. As a literary scholar, this really tickles me! -

Deck of the Week Sign-up Thread, Week 470: Jul. 6 - Jul. 12
Mi-Shell replied to fire cat pickles's topic in Deck of the WeekGood morning Everyone! Well, you will probably shake your head in disbelief, but I will give the "All our Relations" deck another try this week. Here are my daily draws from yesterday, when the forum was closed and from this morning: I love the woodcut images and the sturdiness of the cards :) The narratives on the back however are quite another matter. We do live with Bears, we have a den on our land and see them regularly. However, they do not spread carcasses!! Never have I seen an Animal, that does that. There is also no Marine derived nitrogen to be had around here. Maybe in some Salmon Rivers in British Columbia - but the rest of the Bear World?? No. And today, this morning, I had to laugh out loud when reading that we have nothing better to say about Elephants than thanking for their pooooooop!?? -

Deck of the Week Sign-up Thread, Week 470: Jul. 6 - Jul. 12
Bodhiseed replied to fire cat pickles's topic in Deck of the WeekSorry I'm late! I couldn't get on the forum yesterday. I'm in this week with the Anna K. Tarot and Meditation Cards. The shallow satisfaction of having is always replaced by more wanting. – Eckhart Tolle This plump, bodacious version of the Empress reminds me of the prehistoric Venus statues. Anthropologists suggest these well-rounded forms were symbols of prosperity and fertility: in harsh, freezing climates, being overnourished was a crucial asset. In today's world, however, most of us do not live on the cup's lip of survival or oblivion. The Empress reminds us that we have enough, though the ads in media or comparing ourselves to others may influence us otherwise. Dissolve Into Now offers a verse by Thich Nhat Hanh: When I drink tea, there is only me and the tea. The rest of the world dissolves. There are no worries about the future. No dwelling on past mistakes. Using our senses, what can we appreciate right here where we are in this moment? As Kristin Armstrong stated, "When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in." -
