wow, last week went fast.

Margarete Petersen for me this week VG, thank you for the thread. 

[Amberjune]

Hello all,

 

thank you for the new thread, @VGimlet!

 

This week my random number generator selected my favorite deck. Will be working with the Mary-El.

 

Blessed week everybody

[VGimlet]

I'm using the Ananda one more time around, mostly because I lack the initiative to pick a different one.   But next week I'll be moving on.  At last.

[Bodhiseed]

Going to try to use the Tarot of the Crone and Transforming Dragons for at least a few days this week before the deconstruction/reconstruction starts again. At least we have a tub and toilet again! 😄

Missed you all last week!

[Bodhiseed]

This week I'll be using the Tarot of the Crone, a book and deck set created and self-published by Ellen Lorenzi-Prince. I'll be pairing it with Transforming Dragons, a set created by Sonia Cafe and published by Weiser. Today's cards are the Grandmother (Queen)of Wands and Lupt:

 

          The keyword Lorenzi-Prince gives this card is 'matriarch.' Unlike most leaders, she sits on the ground in a circle with her people. She wants everyone to have an equal voice and is willing to listen to everyone's ideas. She recognizes that they all depend on each other and that they all have different areas of knowledge, skill, and experience. But the dragon Lupt interferes with this cooperative effort by misusing what he has been entrusted with. In this group's situation, there may be trollish behavior that attempts to distract and dismember any progressive, positive actions they might attempt to take. Hopefully, the Grandmother will be wise enough not to tolerate such conduct since having rights requires respect and responsibility from all participants.

 

[Equality] is a noble ideal, but it can never be realized, for what men

value in this world is not rights but privileges. ~H. L. Mencken

[Mi-Shell]

Hi, I am late to the party.

In my hand and strewn all over my reading table are the cards of the Ironwing Tarot.

Today's card is Strength and I do need it!

 

 

[Madame Squee]

Thank you for the thread, VG.

 

I'm in with an early Christmas gift from my daughter: Tarot of the Alchemical Magnum Opus. 

 

This deck is perfect for me, because I love the Alchemical Tarot, and I've always enjoyed iconographic images.  

 

The attached reading was done last week when I was starting to feel much better than I had been after several bouts with vertigo. The rise of the Phoenix in the 10 of Batons and the full sail in the 3 of Batons felt right, considering where I was a couple weeks previously. and my subsequent progress However, I was completely puzzled by the 3 of Swords -- I wasn't feeling it. So, I pulled a clarifying card and experienced one of those wonderful tarot moment that happens when card images cross boundaries. This time, I saw the tear in the 3 of Swords falling into the 6 of Cups, and I realized that the 3 of Swords is telling me I am mourning my old self. The message I gathered from this combination is that things will get better if I learn to nurture myself effectively.
