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!

 

Participants

  1. fire cat pickles: François Chosson 1736 
  2. Rachelcat: Tarot of the Unexplained

Hi, @fire cat pickles!  Work got in the way of tarot, so I’m going to immediate repeat Tarot of the Unexplained this week.  How about a new interview, because why not?

What is your most important characteristic?  Ace of Ghosts

The deck points to the truth through whimsy.

 

What is your strength?  Fan of Knockers

The deck isn’t an easy read, but if you engage with it actively, it works.

 

Your weakness?  9 of Portals

But that emotional connection can be very personal and hard to relate to anyone else.

 

What can you teach me?  La Llorona

Interesting choice for Empress!  The deck can teach me about the physical manifestation of out-there ideas.

 

How can I learn it?  2 Portals

By going with the deck and connecting with it on its own terms.

 

What will be the outcome of our work together?  10 of Ghosts

Maybe she’s releasing ghosts?  Using a cauldron even though her book is about candles?

I will engage with the deck, but will eventually let it go.

 

Ok then!  We’ll see this week.

Tyldwick Tarot, Four of Swords; Antiquarian Lenormand, House

 

Take rest; a field that has rested gives a beautiful crop. 
—Ovid

 

The wheelchair in this card reminds me of hospital policies that require those who are discharged to be wheeled out to the car that picks the patient up. Though they do it mostly to limit liability, the staff also knows the body can be weak and wobbly from a hospital stay. Yet in the Four of Swords, the body is not what is incapacitated but the mind; it is the part of us that desperately needs a break. It's time to take a mental health day - go for a walk, feel the breeze, listen to bird song, and enjoy the flowers making their debut. The Home card suggests a sanctuary that can offer support. As Maya Angelou said, "Home is a refuge not only from the world, but a refuge from my worries, my troubles, my concerns." However, don't let your mind lure you into worrying about what needs to be cleaned or fixed!
