This is the start of my 4 weeks with the Ananda Tarot, which this week will be paired with the Dark Mirror Oracle.   

It's been awhile since I was able to use one my "more later" decks.   Hopefully I'll be able to dig my notebook with the actual "more later" list out of the boxes by the end of the year so I can keep going with them.   😮

 

ed. to add - I had no idea the Ananda had gone both OOP and up in value since I bought it.   I'm going to have to make sure Draco the tiny blue terror and the new puppy, Phoenix, who will be arriving next weekend do not do any, ah, artificial aging to it.  Perhaps I'll be keeping my deck up on a higher shelf than normal, LOL.

I'm in this week with the Spirit Within Tarot paired with the Answer Deck. 

The Ananda is a lovely deck, one that deserves to be republished. 🙂 Hope you find a high shelf for yours, VG!

Don't know how much I'll get to use my decks this week. We are having our ductwork beneath the house pulled out, the HVAC moved, and new ductwork put in the attic (all due to flooding from hurricane Michael). At least we still have a house standing to repair, though.

Have been away from the forum (not sure I'm back, I'm such a crank) and we've been away from home since august 14, 6200+ miles so far.

I have though, been doing deck of the week, only in an altered form, with my Rogue Tarot, 78+ cards from 78+ decks put together with the help of a few friends. So I've used 60-ish cards so far...and it has been so fun. 

I'm tempted to continue on till all the cards are gone...but the new Brugel awaits at home, and the Lost Child came the day before we left...use something new? use something old, use the old new? 

 

Anyway, Rogue Tarot for now, thanks for keeping the group going VG

@AJ-ish/Sharyn I just wanted to say that I am happy to see you! 

[VGimlet]

Thanks for popping your virtual head in during your travels AJ, hope you are seeing many interesting things.

From the Spirit Within Tarot, the Four of Wands; from the Answer Deck, Destruction:

 

Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.      

~Pablo Picasso

 

          In the Four of Wands, a firm foundation has been built - a new beginning that is worthy of celebration. But, as Picasso states, the ground must be cleared first. If we are planting a crop, we must clear the field. We go to therapy to help us heal our old wounds and unskillful behavior patterns in order to build healthy relationships. No foundation will be stable otherwise, yet it is still subject to change.

 

Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another.

~John Muir

I'm enjoying the Ananda, it's going to be nice spending some quality time with it, even though it has an 80s feel to the artwork.    Dark Mirror is interesting, but doesn't catch me.
