VGimlet Posted March 15, 2019 Author Posted March 15, 2019 I'll be using the Shadow Light Tarot this week, one I'd forgotten about until it arrived late last month. I love forgotten surprises, especially when they are good ones. :heartz:
AJ-ish/Sharyn Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Ananda Tarot for me this coming week, thanks VG!!
Bodhiseed Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Cat People Tarot and Sacred Geometry (Greer) for me, VG. :)

Bodhiseed Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 This week I'll be using the Tarot of the Cat People, created by Karen Kuykendall and published by U.S. Games. I'll also be drawing from the Sacred Geometry Oracle, a deck and book set created by John Michael Greer and published by Llewellyn. Today's cards are the Lovers and the Dodecagram: These two lovers are wrapped together in a warm covering; it is a symbol for what holds them together even as they are independent of each other. The Lovers are associated with Gemini (Twins), an Air sign. While passion might bring them together, it is not enough to make them stay that way. They need communication - intellectual foreplay and dynamic dialogue. The meeting of the minds is the comforting blanket that makes their relationship a fulfilling one. The Dodecagram is a twelve-pointed star that can be said to represent the twelve astrology signs. It suggests that things are approaching completion and wholeness. On a personal note, my husband and I have been tag-teaming as we support my daughter who is dealing with a kidney stone. It is hard to sit with the excruciating pain of someone you love while being powerless to fix it. My husband and I will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary on the 19th, and this is one of the many challenges we have faced over the years. I'm grateful for the cuddling and the communicating.
VGimlet Posted March 17, 2019 Author Posted March 17, 2019 Have fun traveling Mi-shell! That sounds fun. 8) Congratulations on your 30th Bodhiseed! :party: Me: Shadow-light tarot Idea - Knight of Cups Challenge - Knight of Pentacles Advantage: 5 of Swords I know I need to breath some life into my relationships and not be quite so predictable with my emotional reactions. There are physical things I need to address and take action on, including but not limited to getting in better shape and the stuff that's cluttering up my house that needs to go. I can strategize and figure out how to make these things happen without making my other half feel like I'm being underhanded and getting rid of stuff he might want to keep. We are in the beginning stages of a really slow house renovation, including fixing some broken things, painting, flooring and de-junking the house of things we don't use or love anymore. It's going to take awhile since my husband doesn't stay healthy and isn't as physically fit as he used to be. The latter applies to me too, LOL. And he is a child and grandchild of farmers from the depression, who have a hard time throwing out anything they might be able to use for something later. If they can find it. Today's reading plays into that completely.
Madame Squee Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 I'm in with the Golden Thread Tarot again. I didn't get enough of it last week. The thing that surprised me the most about this deck is that I cannot see the images under my reading lamp. But I can see them very well with indirect lighting. I still need to try candlelight. Overall, this is becoming one of my very favorite decks. Thank you for the thread, VG! <3
Madame Squee Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Bodhiseed[/member] X/ I hope your daughter is feeling much better and doing well today. <3 And Happy 30th!!!!! :party: :party:
AJ-ish/Sharyn Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 VG (from another thread) I am so sorry about the loss of your dog, and the mess up following. we are fortunate to have a little land and after nearly 30 years have amassed quite a pet cemetery.
PageOfCups Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 VGimlet[/member] I'm sorry about your dog, RIP. 💛
VGimlet Posted March 20, 2019 Author Posted March 20, 2019 Thanks all of you for the kind wishes. She's left a big hole in our lives. Even though we still have Willow and Abel (littermate Saint Bernards) we went from 5 dogs in December of 2017 to two after Sammi. It feels pretty empty. We used to joke that 5 was one too many, but which one would we do without? None. We are waiting to get another dog until either one of our Rowdy's puppies is bred, or our breeder's mentor MAY have a litter coming this spring. If none of those things happen we may talk to another friend, who lives on Lasquiti Island in British Columbia. (If you Google Saint Bernards Lasquiti Island you well see our friend Tikki's dogs, LOL.) Our Rowdy's father came from there. Right now we're waiting for kitten season to start so we can start hitting the shelters. We're finally going to get cats again - after our last cat (Tink the Evil one) died a couple years ago we weren't ready - but the house feels pretty empty. We've been married 37 years in July, and so we have quite a collection of boxes too. :-\ I hope your daughter is feeling better Bodhiseed. My husband has had several bouts with kidney stones, so I know - it's so hard to watch them suffer, and there's nothing they can really do unless they require surgery. It's miserable. And back to tarot after all that - which was long - I'm liking the Shadow Light Tarot - it is a bit dark (literally dark) but it's a great deck, easy to shuffle in spite of the gilded edges, and it reads well.
AJ-ish/Sharyn Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 we went four years without a cat. In August of 14 I think it was I lost both my cats and my constant companion Pom and it took a lot of time to grieve past that big hit. I'd never been without a cat before, but I guess we know when we are ready, orange tabby Honcho turns 2 this month, and Ash will be 2 in May. Night and day, both ultra special in their own ways.
VGimlet Posted March 22, 2019 Author Posted March 22, 2019 Aw, cute cats! Wow, that was a lot of losses in one month. :(
