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, everyone! I hope all is well with you!

This week will be Arcana Folia Oracle Deck, another new acquisition.  It’s a sweet, pretty, round deck.  It doesn’t call out specific flowers or flower meanings, they’re just design elements, so I haven’t categorized it under plants.  It has the item name plus a short “advice” phrase on each card.  I was thinking of it more as a sibilla, but maybe not because of the advice.  It might work as a spread deck.  50 cards.  We’ll see what it can do this week. 

 

First the interview!

 

What is your most important characteristic?  Lock, Something is hidden or locked.

The deck will be able to show me things I’m not aware of yet.

 

What is your strength?  Celebration, Enjoy your victories with others.

The deck is generally positive and recommends social emotional outlets.

 

Your weakness?  Time, Trust in divine timing.

It’s not good with timing readings.  Also maybe the “divine” thing might get on my nerves.

 

What can you teach me?  Detour, Change course.

It can teach me about change.

 

How can I learn it?  Mindset, Find a different perspective.

And how to change.

 

What will be the outcome of our work together?  Joy, Enjoy the little things.

It’s small and pretty, which will bring me joy in the little things.

 

Ok, sounds good to me!

 

Welcome back @Rachelcat 😀

Thank you Fire cat! I'm in with the Dark Goddess Tarot paired with the Tattwa Cards.

If you ever feel like life is too much to bear, remember this: sometimes you just need to laugh. Not because it’s easy, but because it’s necessary. A joke, a smile, a little bit of mischief — it’s a form of resistance against the heaviness of life. It doesn’t erase the pain, but it lets you breathe through it.

—Deanna Riddick

Baubo is the Greek goddess of mirth, joy, and bawdy humor. Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, went into a deep depression when she lost her daughter. Nothing grew and nothing was harvested. Baubo went to visit her and flashed her 'assets.' Demeter was shocked and confused at first, but it broke through her darkness; she laughed and was then able to do what was needed. Air: Seed of Water is given the keyword Stagnation. It brings to mind cloud seeding when water becomes scarce. Tiny particles are released by planes into clouds. These particles help moisture condense and fall as rain or snow. Sometimes it takes the introduction of the ridiculous and unfamiliar to lure us back into the world.

Welcome back @Bodhiseed!

Late to the table: I’m still studying the Hanson Roberts this week.

Welcome back @BrightEye 😀

I haven’t been doing a lot of readings this week, but paying more attention to my dreams. I noticed a couple of things when I did draw cards: they feature symbols that also appear in my dreams. Yesterday I drew the 9 of Cups for my daily reading and was, for the first time, drawn to the peacock feather in the guy’s hat. The peacock has been an important image in my dreams diary for more than 10 years.
