VGimlet Posted March 11, 2021 Author Posted March 11, 2021 I am saying a reluctant goodbye to the Heaven & Earth Tarot, which I will use again someday, and going with the Oak, Ash & Thorn tarot this week.

Mi-Shell Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Hi Everyone! 🙂 This week I will go through the "Karten des Leben" a 100 card deck created by Chuck Spezzano. It is a personal growth and development deck - for lack of a better word. There are 50 images titled "Healing Stories" titled with keywords like Talent, Abundance, Service or Happy Accident and there are 50 cards called "Dark Stories" titles like competition, Rebel, Soap Opera, Victim and so on. The accompanying large book explains the titles and prompts us to see, if and what stories we are telling ourselves about ourselves to ourselves and to others and what influences these life stories do have on our life and our relationships. There are hard questions asking for honest answers. I went through 5 random cards this morning and what came up from the depts of my Soul was - revealing....... Here is my ooooold AT thread with a few pictures: https://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=115295
Amberjune Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Welcome to DOTW @Emilija 🙂 I'm in with the Tarot of the Crone and the Resonance Oracle Cards
VGimlet Posted March 12, 2021 Author Posted March 12, 2021 Welcome to the Deck of the week Emilija! (Although I think you joined us a while back? or is that just my foggy brain...) That Karten des Leben sounds like a deck I better not Google, Mi-Shell, LOL.

Bodhiseed Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 This week I'll be using the Victoria Regina Tarot, a deck and book set created by Sarah Ovenall with text assistance from Georg Patterson. This tarot set was published by Llewellyn. I'll be pairing it with the Alchemist Oracle (aka Connected and Free), a deck and booklet set self-published by Lauren Aletta. Today's draws are the King of Cups and Slow Down: ...staying calm comes from healing our own anger. —Mindy Newman The King of Cups shows Albert, whose marriage to Victoria began as a political alliance. Victoria was emotionally demonstrative while Albert was rational and pragmatic. Their marriage of opposites filed the sharp edges off of each and eventually became a true marriage of enduring love. Like the King of Cups, Albert opened his heart while retaining the ability not to get emotionally entangled with the outbursts and dramas of others. The Slow Down card invites us to get off our bulldozer and look at our own motives and reactions. As psychotherapist Mindy Newman explains, "We experience the world through the lens of our own habitual patterns: our cognitive mental patterns, our emotional patterns, and the legacy of all our interactions with other people. ...It’s not just that in that moment somebody’s entitlement and rudeness is producing anger in you. It’s actually igniting something that was already there." It's like we are preprogrammed robots - push this button and automatically a particular reaction occurs. Instead, as the snail suggests, we can pause to consider what's beneath the surface driving our reaction, then choose an appropriate response.
Queen of Nothing Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Hi everyone! I have reemerged from my year long hibernation and ready to do tarot again! What can I say, it was a rough year for me 😅 I'm participating this week with my Tarot Mucha.
VGimlet Posted March 14, 2021 Author Posted March 14, 2021 Welcome back Queen of Nothing! It was a rough year for everyone I think - and not just for the pandemic! Although that certainly salted everything, right? Liking the Oak, Ash and Thorn, but I nearly always like nature-based decks. Plus this one is Eco-friendly, which is an added bonus.
Emilija Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 3/15/21 Bix Tarot: Ace of Pentacles- so this morning I did my first paid reading. I’m sitting here wondering if I was accurate, and I’m fretting over what she has to say (as in feedback). The Ace of Pentacles makes sense because it was my first sale, but what worries me is the frantic expression on that bunny’s face. I’m wondering if I will be taken aback. Madame Endora’s Fortune Cards: The Oracle- Again, spot on. The subtext says “Seek wisdom and guidance from elders.” I’m wondering if she will give negative feedback and if that will propel me to seek advice from other Tarotistas on Tarot Nerds or here. Rune: Wunjo- this rune usually means prosperity, but also self-worth. I’m hoping to find both of these today.😌 please don’t mind the MONSTROUS heap of 🧺 laundry in the background!
AJ-ish/Sharyn Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 what fun, your first paid reading! Don't expect feedback like you get here 🙂
Bodhiseed Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 @Emilija, the best feedback is a querent who returns or passes your name to a friend. ❤️
Emilija Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 @AJ-ish/Sharyn @Bodhiseed She messaged me this morning and said that it was wonderful and that it resonated. That’ll have to be good enough❤️

Emilija Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 @Bodhiseed She has been trying to give me a positive review, and she favorited one of my listings. So who knows? Maybe she will be back! On another note: call me tacky, call me wacky! But I sure do like this Bix tarot! It comes with its own Spotify playlist and there’s some good funky tunes on there. It’s also very easy to read intuitively! I might have to pick it next week for DotW! Here’s my pull today!🧿❤️😊
VGimlet Posted March 22, 2021 Author Posted March 22, 2021 Ack - sorry I missed you this week AJ - but I have NEW glasses, so hopefully I won't miss people anymore, now that I can see again...hahahah
AJ-ish/Sharyn Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 didn't even notice, I never look at the list 🙂 Emilija, that satyr looks like he is licking an envelope. Chain letter? Poison pen letter?
