good day tarot folk

[illuminate]

Hello everyone! 👋

 

I’m a lifelong witch and tarot reader, and I’ve been walking this path since I was 13 (nearly 40 years now!). My first deck was the Rider-Waite, and when the Haindl deck was released, it instantly became my go-to, I still carry one in my handbag everywhere I go. Over the years my collection has grown to include the Margarete Petersen, Moonchild, Shadow Moonchild, and the Rooted Remembrance Tarot by Rae Serafina Barker, along with a variety of oracle decks that found their way to me at different stages of my journey. One of my favourites being the Dark Mirror oracle which is a tribute to the Final Fantasy artist, Laura Sava. A hard hitting deck when one needs to sit firm in ones 'poo' and work with ones shadow self and ego defences. Another favourite is Osho's Buddha deck, working with the Dhammas of Gautama The Buddha is a truly illumimating path.

 

I do love doing reading for others, though I’ve never asked for payment, my joy comes from helping those who are seeking guidance.

 

Alongside tarot, I work with crystals (collecting them since I was a wee child), go ley line hunting with my dowsing rods and a pendulum for dowsing and divination. My current one is a solid silver 45g pendulum I crafted about five years ago. Pendulum making has since become one of my passions, I now create ornate copper and silver pendulums in a ritual space, each taking a full lunar cycle to complete.

 

I’m also drawn to creating other spiritual tools and art, blending herbs and spices for incense, using my clinical herbology knowledge to craft medicines, carving wooden wands, and painting scenes of dragons, trees, and sacred spaces. 

 

I’m excited to be here, to share, and to connect with kindred spirits. 🌿✨🧙‍♀️

Hello @illuminate welcome to the TT&M Family  No worries regarding the formatting, things like this happen 😅

Thank you Joy, for the warm welcome 🙏 🤗 

 

Just realised that we can give 🩷 to people's posts. This joining a forum was quite a big mental step as I do not do any social media etc. I nearly joined AT years ago, but never did in the end. I used to haunt the Margrete Peterson threads as my first deck arrived with no lwb 🧐.

We feel honoured to have you 🙂
