Again.  Because I didn't even get the Angelarium down from the "new and unread with"  shelf until today.  :o

Hi VG! Thank you for the new thread. :) I am going to try this week. At the very least, I would like to be able to take notes on my Day of the Dead spread that I did on Samhain! So I will sign up with the Victorian Fairy Tarot.

Thanks for the new thread! The Tarot of the Master is a bit of a serious deck and I feel like I should use something more lighthearted this week so I'm thinking Joie de Vivre ;D ETA I feel like adding the Everyday Witch and work some more with it too.

Hi VG! I do appreciate you running this every week for us. It has been so much fun working through my old and new decks. Since the last one was a completely new deck, I'm going to go back to one I've had for a few years, but I haven't used; Kat Black's Touchstone Tarot. (Someone else was using it last week or the week before, I think ... it reminded me that I had it.) When I first got it, I followed Ms. Black's advice and left out the "Happy Squirrel" card ... but I rather like the card and have put it back into the deck. ;D

This week I'll be using the Spirit Within Tarot, created by Steven Bright and published by Schiffer. I'll also be drawing from the Answer Deck, created by Nicky Zann and published by Running Press. Today's draws are Death and Frustration:

 

          Bright uses the Angel of Death rather than the Grim Reaper to illustrate Death. He writes: "Endings are natural." Indeed they are. When I am in emotional or physical torment, this angel can't come soon enough. But if I'm enjoying myself and partaking in the pleasures of life, I won't welcome her arrival. Endings tend to clearly show my attachments - how I see things or people as unchanging with the ability to give me everlasting happiness. It's the feeling that I'm attached to, and what ultimately makes me unhappy. As the Answer Deck shows, anger and frustration (in proportion to my attachment) are the result. Trying to shut off my emotions so that I don't feel anything won't work. However Thubten Chodron has a visualization technique that helps not only my mind understand the suffering caused by attachment, but my heart as well. She suggests to imagine getting what I crave (along with the feelings of pleasure), then ask "Now what?" Like seeing a sticky, dirty bowl that was once filled with ice cream, it can have the affect of throwing cold water on the attachment.
