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!

Hi Fire Cat!  I hope all is well with you.  Enjoy your historical deck!

 

This week for me will be The Green Codex Tarot.  Back to tarot this week.  This is a vibe / impulse purchase for me.  It just looks cool so I thought I’d try it.  It doesn’t go in any of my categories, except that it has a dragon (Strength), an alchemical operation (10 of Cups), a unicorn (wounded in the 5 of Swords), and a satyr (a rather spicy King of Wands)! 

 

According to the book, “The main function of this deck is to support human adaptation to the social and natural ecosystem through a connection with nature and implementation of ecological behavioral models.”  Yeah, I probably won’t use the book much . . .  Although it has a good clarification of a SWOT spread.  It has a poem and text for each card.  Something that bugs me a bit is there are no queens; all are princesses.  And the several elemental pentagrams in the deck are wonky, but that’s just me being picky. 

 

Let’s see what it has to say for itself:

What is your most important characteristic?  Ace of Swords

It’s a new way of understanding tarot.  But the new comes from the old.

 

What is your strength?  10 of Swords

It’s a lot to learn.  But I like that.  St. Sebastian visual reference.

 

Your weakness?  5 of Wands

Aforementioned disagreement with pentagrams.  The deck is a little bit in your face regarding its straying from the typical.

 

What can you teach me?  Page of Pentacles

It can teach me that I’m still just a beginner, still growing and breaking the surface of things.

 

How can I learn it?  The Star

By seeing the beauty and positive in things.

 

What will be the outcome of our work together?  2 of Swords

We’ll agree to disagree.  Or agree to see two sides of every issue.

 

Ok, interesting!  We’ll see how the week goes!
