fire cat pickles Posted May 5, 2023 Author Posted May 5, 2023 It's going to be another week with the WIlliams for me, mostly because the next deck for me will be the Fantastic Menagerie which will also be at least a few weeks anyway.

Misterei Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 @Bodhiseed looking forward to see pix of your spread with Daniloff. I have his Persian themed deck ... but didn't buy the original. I also have 2 of his le normands.

Bodhiseed Posted May 7, 2023 Posted May 7, 2023 This week I'll be using the Daniloff Tarot, created and self-published by Alexander Daniloff. I'll also be using a set of Kuan Yin Sticks with the corresponding verses from Stephen Karcher's book The Kuan Yin Oracle. Today's draws are the Moon and 'Candlelight and Shadows' (verse 97): The literal translation for the French phrase “Entre Chien et Loup” is Between Dog and Wolf. A French linguist would describe this as that time of day when the light is such that is becomes difficult to distinguish between a dog and a wolf, between friend and foe, between known and unknown. ~Loftartists.org The Moon represents those times when we are pulled like ocean waves - by our emotions, memories and subconscious. Just as high tide is not the best time for swimming, neither are these 'moon times' the sanest moments for making decisions or thinking in absolutes. The mind's illusions will eventually ebb if we don't add chum to the waters. The 97th verse for the Kuan Yin oracle reads: The candlelight throws shadows that dance on the wind, like flowers scattered on green fields. Rather than focusing on flickering shadows, we might take the advice of Eckhart Tolle: "Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them."

Hope all of the DoWers have a great weekend! 🌻 Hi! I have the Karcher Kuan Yin sticks but never used them. Great to see them in action! For me this week will be the Taro as Colour by Ithell Colquhoun. See the attached pdf of my tarot society presentation all about the deck. So we’re going to see if I can actually read with a very abstract deck. With the help of the notes. Interview time! What is your most important characteristic? Chariot, Air (Water) The deck goes where no deck has gone before! What is your strength? Ace of Cups, Water It’s very good for intuitive reading. What is your weakness? Princess of Swords, Earth of Air But not for someone trying to learn. Or relate it to the real world. What can you teach me? Seven of Cups, Fire of Water (Fours are related to kings.) I can learn how to balance fire and water, action and emotion, and what is real success and what is illusory success. The splash of red and orange is small compared to the vast area of water around it. Feelings may override action. How can I learn it? Queen of Disks, Water of Earth By grounding my emotions before I decide to act. This looks like a very introspective card. The water is slowly soaking into the earth. Catch it before it turns into mud. What is the outcome of our work together? Four of Disks, Fire of Earth Ok, earthly power works with fire of earth! The red here is much larger, and there’s quite a lot of purple combination, but the lines are distinct. So I will figure out the nuts and bolts of reading with the deck, but it will take some effort!
