That was a quick week at least for me! 

 

This week I'll be using the Tarot of Transformation and the Angelarium Oracle. 

 

I'm not much for angels, but these are weird, and I kind of like that about them.  Heh.

Thank you for the thread, VG!

 

Please sign me up with the Santa Muerte Tarot and Seven Stars Samhain Lenormand.

 

I haven't been reading cards lately. I wasn't even going to order the Santa Muerte Tarot, because I wasn't sure I would like the artwork, but curiosity finally got the best of me. I opened it a couple of nights ago, and I'm still not sure about it. So, it will be interesting to see where this goes. At least, it's inspiring me to get the cards out and read!

My Tarot of the Master showed up today so I'll make it my deck of the week! It will be interesting for sure... this deck is from before the RWS was a thing and I'm not sure if it's related to any other known system. I'll have to rely more on my intuition than I'm used to since the little sheet that came with it isn't very detailed and the cards have one simple keyword on them. Will be interesting ;D

Weird angels? Now you've got me curious, VG. ;D

I'm in this week with the Daniloff Tarot paired with Kuan Yin sticks.

[Bookworm]

I didn't get to use my Daniloff at all last week so I'll try again this week.

Hi VG! Thanks for hosting us again. ;D I'm going to be sticking with the Nicoletta Ceccoli Tarot this week.

This week I'll be using the Daniloff Tarot, created and self-published by Alexander Daniloff. I'll also be using a set of Kuan Yin Sticks, alternating the use of Stephen Karcher's book (The Kuan Yin Oracle) and Marina Lighthouse's book (Kuan Yin Temple Oracle). Today's draws are the Ten of Coins and Verse 23:

 

          With all the floating coins around him, this fellow has obviously done quite well for himself. The crown imprint on the coin over his head shows he is at the peak of his success, health and energy. Yet there are clues like the waning moon and his dark and light robe that are a reminders of the natural progression of things. The yellow berries at the bottom remind me of a cultivar of the rowan tree.  In weather lore, a year with plentiful rowan fruit would have a good harvest but be followed by a severe winter. The vesica piscis shape he sits in implies a gateway that he will eventually cross through. Nothing stands still, and we have no choice but to move with it. Verse 23 of the Kuan Yin Oracle reads:

 

Climbing the beanstalk all the way to heaven

Only to be turned away at heaven’s gate;

Then news arrives of a break in the deadlock,

Giving all parties cause to celebrate.

 

This verse speaks of working toward a goal only to find it blocked upon arrival at the doorstep. Yet it is not a power drive or self-pity that frees us from the deadlock, but compassionate help from others. Whether the gateway we are passing through leads to good times or bad, developing relationships that remain unaffected by either is where the true treasure lies.

I’ve got a lot of decks this week... I plan to use the Raven’s Prophecy since it’s my most Halloween-y deck, but I also will be using the Wooden Tarot for the ancestor and shadow work readings I like to do this time of year. Also received my Pythia Botanica Oracle and will be trying that out as well.

I wonder if anyone here also has a new deck that they plan to dedicate tomorrow. I've heard that Samhain is a really good time for that, and it even falls on a Tuesday.

Monday already and I've been too lazy to pick any deck so I guess I will just browse decks and forums for a week.

 

That Daniloff is so beautiful! I could never afford it but I might make a trade for one some of these days.

Hello DOTW friends !

 

I know it is awfully late, being tuesday evening an all.. but is it still time to enroll for the week ?

I will use my trusted Bohemian Gothic tarot, perfect for this time of the year.

 

Thank you !

Never too late Carojulie! 

 

I have hardly used my deck at all this week, too many flaming torches yet again! 

 

I guess I'll be using this combo again next week.  :P

I managed to pull out my Victorian Fairy Tarot on Samhain, and I did the Day of the Dead spread that Raven of Summer had posted. I got a wonderful reading, and it felt so good to connect with my cards again! :) I'm looking forward to spending some real time with them over Thanksgiving.
