A unique version of Reading Circle for those who would like to work through their collection of decks, participants choose decks from their collections to work with for the week. Some use one deck, others use two or more. Some combine methods: Tarot, non-tarot (e.g. oracle), playing cards, or any other divinatory method is welcome. All we ask is that you use at least one tarot or oracle deck.

 

No collection is too large or too small. The only rules we have are the Tarot, Tea & Me Rules; Be respectful of one other. Please join us!

  • Please post with your choice of deck(s) for the week
  • Chat away about your deck, how you're finding it (or not), etc., it's all up to you 
  • Participants may either choose to share their readings here in this discussion thread or opt to have their own journal in the Journals Forum and link it here
  • Yet others may even have an offline journal in paper & pencil/pen form

 

Share as often, as much, or as little as you like. You can drop in and out at any time—reality and life permitting. New to tarot? Long time reader? Come on in!

Welcome to the group @Troll! I hope this group helps with giving you some encouragement 🙂

 

The DOTW Group is a fun and enlightening way to share how your decks can work for others, to highlight new or unique reading techniques and spreads, and perhaps to introduce new decks for other members.

Welcome @Troll I learned by reading books and following others who post their readings. But the best way is to learn by doing! We all have our particular ways of reading, and because we're all different, we have slightly different interpretations. But this is okay! 💓

I'm in this week with the Russian Lubok Tarot paired with the Marseille Oracle - thank you Fire cat! ❤️

Russian Lubok Tarot, Three of Pentacles; Marseille Oracle, Hearth

 

We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community… Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own. —Cesar Chavez


This Three of Pentacles shows three masters in their respective field working together to build a temple. The booklet brings up the term "sobornost" - a term that expresses the need for co-operation between people as an alternative to individualism and socialist collectivism (group goals over individual interests). With each person using the skills and knowledge they have, they work together; what is important is the result that is achieved. Hearth emphasizes that families need the same type of collaboration and solidarity to prosper. Unity with diversity is possible if we aren't consumed with just our own or our group's desires.

I got you in with the Keymaster Tarot. 

 

You can post your readings here if you like or open a Journal in the Journals Forum. You can use your deck in the Reading Exchange as an alternative. We're very flexible!

 

You can continue with the same deck as long as you like 👍 Libra 58 and I have listed the our decks for months if I recall...

Hi everybody!  A full house this week!  Great to see you all!

 

This week for me will be Jewelry Box Lenoracle Blue Velvet Edition by tarotbyseven.  (Still whittling down my list of lenormands yet to be decks of the week.)  We purchasers had the choice to include numbers and playing cards, and I chose neither, so just jewelry on velvet.  So cool! 

 

Extra cards are additional man, additional woman, bee, butterfly (looks like a luna moth to me), and cello.  It includes a card with suggested interps for the extras.  I think I’ll leave them all in and see what I get.  Even though that means maybe too many people cards?

 

I just googled the initials on Mountain.  U.O.E.I. stands for Unione Operaia Escursionisti Italiani, Italian Workers’ Hiking Union.  So I assume they did a lot of mountain climbing.  Fun!

 

And the Fox obviously is after grapes, referring to the sour grapes fable:  The fox jumped and jumped but could never reach the grapes.  He finally gave up, grumbling “they’re probably sour anyway.”

 

Also, Wednesday will be my last day for a whole year of Seasons of the Witch theme cards.  I have to say I don’t really love the Seasons of the Witch oracles.  The art is fine, and witchy, but I found that the keywords and phrases on the cards and the info in the booklet usually don’t work together, which is strange.  And I really couldn’t connect with them much.  Maybe I’m just not witchy enough anymore! 

 

So I’ll be saving up the whole set of 8 decks for our Tarot Society holiday gift exchange.  (That’s 8 decks off my collection list to make room for the 6 I might or might not have just preordered on the Llewellyn site, which will be making an appearance here whenever they make an appearance at my door.) 

 

I’m looking forward to getting back to using established, maybe larger, spreads and pairing oracles and tarots for my weeklies and dailies.

 

In the meantime, a regular interview with a lenormand!

What is your most important characteristic?  Man

The readings are all about people and possibly relationships.

 

What is your strength?  Whip

The deck doesn’t shy away from conflict

 

Your weakness?  Sun

In fact, it doesn’t do happiness very well.

 

What can you teach me?  Woman

It will teach me about myself.

 

How can I learn it?  Snake

By being clever and a little bit devious.

 

What will be the outcome of our work together?  Ship

The deck will take me places I haven’t been before.  Considering the above, I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not!

 

Ok, we’ll see!

Even longer, the whole 2026 for me!😉

 

Monday card is: King of Cups.

 

A content man that´s looking right at me. In the background is a ship in full sail.

I think that means that I to shall be content and that my life is sailing smoothly....

 

But that´s not true, I´m very sad and have been for over a week now. I had to put down my last cat!😭

So this man/king maybe are trying to tell me things will be better soon.

Hopefully!

My opinion 

I need to remove those experiences that didn`t grow ,or dried out and work with things that are doing well under the sun

I tend to use my readings as thoughts to ponder rather than "this is what's going to happen."

On the 26th it would have been my mom's 110 birthday.

The Soprafino Tarot was/ is a traditionin our family. Gran Elizza used to read with one....

Honoring this lineage as part of my own, I will use my Soprafino tarot this week.

Funny thing I was looking at that deck today adding it to shortlist of Old Marseille style decks

Tuesday card: Queen of Swords.

 

One of my personal cards, so every time she appears I get a reminder of that I need to take care of myself,

this time I really needed that reminder.

How I see world  Queen of wand 7 of wands

My opinion 

Patience + experience = Stoicism 

This is so self explaining and clicking for me I don`t see any need to add anything  


 

Posted

Wednesday card was: 10 of Swords. 

 

A really crappy day! And so it was, lots of pain and sadness!

 

Thursday card: Ace of Wands.

 

I´m feeling better today but have not started any new projects. Don´t know what this card wanted to show me.

Yes, you have a "warts and all" approach to the tarot: very affective.

There is no truth or lie ,no yes or no ,no right or wrong .There are only opinions and reading Tarot is just giving one of them

What do I need to understand about Illusion ? Ace of Swords 

Opinion

Understanding that and having that first spark of awakening is an  easy bit ,But living every day in that way is the hard part (the next step)
