Mi-Shell Posted February 24, 2025 Posted February 24, 2025 Thank you for the new thread, @fire cat pickles ♥ Glow in the dark Tarot sounds fascinating! I however will spend the week with my Winterseer Oracle.
Rachelcat Posted February 24, 2025 Posted February 24, 2025 Hi, everyone! This week will be System Oracle: Forecast and Enlighten. It looked intriguing online, so I snapped it up. I was hoping for something a little more sciencey, or systemy!, but it turns out it’s more new agey. But it’s still interesting, and I’m willing to give it a good try. It’s a 60-card square deck with more or less abstract illustrations of metaphysical concepts. Its four categories are Cosmology, Enlightenment, Interconnectivity, and Manifestation. This week I’m also going to begin a year of using the Seasons of the Witch decks as prompt cards for each day’s readings. Because most celebrations of holidays start before the day itself, I made the schedule with each season starting about 22 days before the astrological date. So on Wednesday I’ll start with a card a day from Seasons of the Witch Ostara Oracle (last published, first of the astrological year). The vernal equinox is getting closer! In the meantime, wash, shuffle, and interview System Oracle. I’m interested to see what it has to say! What is your most important characteristic? Immaterial World Based on book: It helps integrate understanding of the material and immaterial worlds. What is your strength? Source The deck calls out deep philosophical questions, like where did it all come from. Your weakness? Confluence It’s not really good at combining concepts into one big concept or theory of everything. What can you teach me? Magnetism The deck can teach me about attraction and repulsion. When science was first understanding magnetism, everything metaphysical was suddenly based on magnetism. Now that scientists are trying to understand quantum mechanics, everything metaphysical is now “obviously” quantum in nature. How can I learn it? Qualia Qualia means subjective sensory experience, what our senses pick up that no one else can experience quite the same way. I can learn from this deck by using it and understanding it in my own way. And by experiencing it in a sensory way, through the artwork. This is the sample card that made me think it was more sciencey. I thought it would be about wavelengths determining color of light. What will be the outcome of our work together? Enlightenment Really. Wow. The interesting thing is this isn’t the last card, so probably not considered the final goal. It’s in the middle of the second category Enlightenment. It’s about experiencing the world and oneself directly without mediation of thoughts or feelings. Which is a strange outcome for a deck of cards, which are basically FOR mediation. Hmmm. The illustration makes me think it’s about receiving information from all directions, not just below and above. Well, we’ll see! I’ll keep trying! Seasons of the Witch Dates.pdf
Christina Posted February 24, 2025 Posted February 24, 2025 Hi all! I'm in again with my Waite-Smith borderless and my Conscious Spirit Oracle 🙂
fire cat pickles Posted February 24, 2025 Author Posted February 24, 2025 Welcome back @Rachelcat and @Christina 🙂
Bodhiseed Posted February 24, 2025 Posted February 24, 2025 Thank you, Fire cat ❤️. I'm in with the Tarot of the Abyss paired with Nature Mandala Cards. Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides. ― André Malraux Lying comes in many flavors: flat out dishonesty, hiding the truth or using half-truths while omitting the rest. Deception is tied to entitlement; we feel like it is our right to deceive in order to get what we think we deserve. Yet it should be plain that anything we must do in the shadows is an offense against our relationships with others. We can't whine about rights without accepting responsibilities as well. Honor the Memory suggests we remember our bonds, connections, promises and commitments. It's not always easy, but it will serve us in the long run. And if we can't, then let's be brave enough to be honest about it.
Natural Mystic Guide Posted February 25, 2025 Posted February 25, 2025 This week, and for some weeks to come, no doubt, I shall be immersing myself in the Greenwood Tarot by Mark Ryan and Chesca Potter. This deck has been at the top of my wish list for years. I found a copy in great condition that only cost my an arm, not an arm AND a leg -- which was acceptable. Now at the top of my wish list: The Ironwood Tarot by Lorena Moore. Let me know if you ever become aware of an available one, please.
