I'm sticking with the Dirty Tarot and the Steven Universe 22 card deck since I didn't even touch them this week. 

 

I still don't even have a speck of time.  BUT even though I work this weekend, starting the 20th I have 6 days OFF.    And since we are going very, very easy this year on the holidays (one family get-together on the 24th)  and don't have any prep work to do I'm HOPING I'll do better. 

 

I can't even remember a week when I didn't touch my cards.    ???

For the winter solstice, it's:

I am happy to just forget last weeks deck.

 

This week random.org gave me Stella tarot wich is awesome cause I feel there is a little x-massy feel about it.

[Bodhiseed]

I'm in with the Victorian Fairy Tarot paired with the Haindl Rune Oracle. Thanks VGimlet!

No matter what holiday you celebrate, I wish all my friends here inner peace during the busyness of the season!

[Trogon]

I will be continuing to work with the World Spirit Tarot. Getting very good readings with it.

[Lantana]

I decided to take a page from jema[/member]’s book this week and use a random name picker to choose a deck since I wasn’t really pulled to any specific one this week... I got the Fountain Tarot and I’ll be using it with the Minimalist Oracle.

[Queen of Nothing]

I will be setting aside my Pagan Otherworlds and focusing solely on my Slow Holler.

[Page of Ghosts]

I'm taking the advice of one of you other DotW-ers who suggested I use the Silicon Dawn a few weeks back, and I'm keeping it up with lenormand as well.

[EmpyreanKnight]

Just waiting until the 22nd so that I can fully dedicate my decks. I so want to use them both now. Once I get the Promethean I will finally complete the trifecta. :)

From the Victorian Fairy Tarot, the Six of Autumn (Pentacles); from the Haindl Rune Oracle, 'Ehwaz/Eoh:'

 

          The younger fairy has torn her wing, and so the older fairy is applying a poultice of comfrey to help her heal. Here is an example of sharing resources - of skill, herb and tender touch. I read a newsletter recently from Tami Simon (founder of Sounds True) in which she described a dinner of friends she attended. Later the host sent her a note that was signed in a unique way: "May you be a blessing." What would my day look like if I started it with the intention of being a blessing? I know it would change my attitude for one thing, helping me to focus on the good I could do instead of soaking in self-centered thoughts. Ehwaz/Eoh literally means "horse," and three can be spotted in this painting. The rune suggests forward movement, but it also implies that teamwork is responsible for creating such progress. It's easy to despair about what shape our country and world is in if I watch too much news. It can seem like humanity's movement is only backwards. But I'm reminded of a story Fred Rogers (of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood) told his listeners about advice from his mother when he would see scary things on the news: "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping."

Bodhiseed[/member] , this is a beautiful reading! I think most people here know that the VFT is my favorite deck, and that oracle pairs with it beautifully. I love your idea of starting the day with the intention of being a blessing, and of looking for the helpers (or BEING a helper) in any given situation. What a wonderful sentiment and intention to go through your day with! Thank you for sharing such lovely thoughts. :)

[Trogon]

Bodhiseed[/member] ... so the Haindl Rune Oracle. I'm guessing that the art-work is by Hermann Haindl? How are you finding it to work with? Do the readings flow pretty naturally for you?
