Aeclectic Tarot Thread Revival

It's been well over a year now that Aclectic Tarot has been closed. Many of us still miss the site and refer back to it but in this day and age, it's hard to say how long that site will be maintained. This thread revival project is to bring over the topics from AT. Not the entire thread, just the topics so we can have new discussions on old ideas. We might not have the old site anymore but we can have some of the ideas of AT preserved here in our new home, Tarot, Tea and Me. Please note, when you do bring a thread over please copy and paste the original post over along with the username who started it. That way we know the actual intent of the thread. After tha…

Hi, sorry if this is not allowed or in the wrong place, and feel free to delete if so. Just wondering if anyone knows what is happening to the Aeclectic Tarot Forum. I know it's no longer active, but the old posts were always accessible and I often read some of the threads as they are so full of information and advice. The past two days it's come up with an error message so I'm wondering if the forum is now completely gone. Does anyone know more?

Some thoughts on reading... [Splungeman] "I wanted to just share a little bit about how I've learned to read the cards, with emphasis on where the little details come from and when it is best to be vague. FYI- I use a term I made up called "Glorp" to refer to whatever it is that gives us our information. Some don't like to use "intuition", so that was my solution. "To me, it would seem that the more detailed you get with your reading, the more likely you will be just plain wrong.

DO YOU remember the moment you became interested in Tarot? https://www.tarotforum.net/threads/do-you-remember-the-moment-you-became-interested-in-tarot.276519/ It's been so long I've been into tarot, I honestly don't remember how I acquired my first tarot deck. I can only imagine it was gifted to me from either my mom or grandma. But since my first deck I've been interested in tarot.

Courts- Why do we need them? https://www.tarotforum.net/threads/courts-why-do-we-need-them.99537/ I saw this thread on the front page of Aeclectic today and thought it would make a good discussion thread. In my current profession, I make sure to work on the court cards in a reading. To me, they are important because they can really give a clear result on featuring actual people involved in the situation. Either people or energies, the court cards have a special place in a reading.

Here is one of my posts . . . Nothing has really changed here and the balance of my decks reside in a drawer and I keep another of mom's headscarves near for the spread to be laid out on. . . Jim

http://www.tarotforum.net/library/8/2002-03/shuffling-cutting-the-deck-confused-help-20020307.shtml posted by New2Tarot I hope it's ok that I am posting this! There are already threads on this forum about shuffling, but this one seems more focused on cutting which is what I am curious about. Here are the other threads on here that are about shuffling (cutting is mentioned sometimes): How do you shuffle your cards? Method of Pulling Cards Why doesn't it matter how you shuffle or select cards? I apologize if I missed a thread!
