Thanks again to Bodhiseed for posting the new thread last week when I was otherwise occupied.   MUCH appreciated!!!     Still writing like mad, but I have Alexa reminders set this week since I go back to work on Sunday.   (wahhh, lol) 

 

Nonowrimo is going well, I may get to 50.000 words tonight, depending on how many rabbit holes I fall down between now and then.   I tend to get distracted by shiny research questions (Like - Where are DEA agent bases in the US.?  How tall will a kid who is 5'5 at age 13 be when he hits 19.  These and many more questions can all be answered...lol) 

 

I'll be using  the Black Tarot by Victoria Iva, aka da brigh Black Tarot this week.

Thank you for the new thread @VGimlet. And congratulations on your successful Nanowrimo. Writing 50'000 words is really impressive!!

 

My decks for the week are the (strange)Spirit Tarot by AGM and a Polish crystal deck, the Kaminie Wroza.

 

Happy reading (and writing!)

 

 

[Bodhiseed]

You have amazing tenacity, @VGimlet! Well done on your writing. Any time that life gets overwhelming or you get deeply involved in a project, please don't hesitate to send me a message and I'll be glad to take the DoW baton until you're settled again. 💚

 

This week I'm in with the Animal Totem Tarot paired with the Blum/Gern Rune Cards. 

[VGimlet]

Thanks all - and thanks for the offer Bodhiseed, I may take you up on that in the future someday.   🙂     I'm happy to have reached 50,000, my next goal is to finish this novel, so I'll still be writing this month, but since I go back to work it won't be at the same pace for sure.

I'm nowhere finished with this week, but as this is for next week's deck 😉 I will use I Ching Tarot by Kwan Lau. 

Not sure how 64 Hexagrams fits into tarot, I think the title is more marketing than truth.

Hello All,

 

Happy to rejoin the party this week!  I am in with the Joie de Vivre tarot.

 

VGimlet - I am so impressed you made 50K words in 13 days.  That is Olympic speed typing, you should get a gold medal.  Good luck finishing the story!

 

Quick question - the thread title says November 14-29, is that correct?

 This week I'll be using the Animal Totem Tarot, created by Eugene Smith with a companion book by Leeza Robertson; the set was published by Llewellyn. I'll also be using the Blum/Gern Rune Cards created by Ralph Blum and illustrated by Gabrielle Gern with publishing by Connections. These were originally sold as the set The Rune Cards: Sacred Play for Self-discovery, but since I just have the cards, I'll be using Blum's The Book of Runes as a companion text. Today's draws are the Ten of Cups and Ansuz:

The sense of fulfillment is often hidden in acts of kindness.     

— Todd Stocker

 

          In the companion booklet, Robertson suggests that no one finds emotional fulfillment without first developing self-restraint, self-care, and respectful communication. These things come about not because life is perfect, but through challenges and adversities that demand growth. And compassionate support is vitally important, even when there is disagreement. As Robert Breault put it, "In the end there doesn’t have to be anyone who understands you. There just has to be someone who wants to." Ansuz indicates a message that brings sacred knowledge and understanding. It suggests that we look at every encounter - whether a stone, bird, or person - as a spiritual sage we can learn something from. However, be warned that some of these messengers might be in the form of a trickster rather than a jolly Santa. Sometimes what is frustrating can teach us the tools we need to find the fulfillment we seek.
