Re: First Steps

Me? I think you can lay them out any damn way you want. By gads, you can do it different every single time! But get used to reading across down diagonal or however - but that you kinda want to learn to do it the same every time so you don't leave out steps later on. In three card tarot readings we w...

Re: First Steps

dog is irritated

see how the dog (loyalty) is above the garden (public, network) so in those two cards we have the group that want's it 'to be'.

Re: What is a Bateleur? (Tarot of Marseilles)

YES!!! I see the Bateleur as Raconteur. Oooo not related but kinda. I once found a clip on Youtube of Dario Fo discussing the nature of the Zanni (in Commedia dell'arte) that was sub-titled. It's since been taken down and only the one in Italian remains. What was notable, was that he was describing ...

Re: First Steps

In Tarot, you can get loosey goosey with the question. Here, not so much. Also - a hint I've found WAY useful. In Tarot we do this 3 card, 5 or 7 card thing. Then we try to do this in Lenormand?

Re: First Steps

Well lemme just... "Tree Lily Path" To continue to grow, in or by next winter a decision must be made "Ship Dog Bear" Sometimes the exact wording is important.

An Umbrae Rant #1

“When we realize that being a tarot reader doesn't make us special or set us apart from others, we become better readers.” Over the years, I’ve noted a couple things regarding this, both in social media, and the real world. First off, some folks develop (early on), an “I have a deck of cards and I’m...

First Steps

I’ve been reading Tarot since, well…Munich, Watergate, Bobby Fischer did his thing, The Godfather was released, and American Pie played non-stop (I know, a redundant statement), the digital watch was introduced, and McGovern lost the election to Richard Nixon.
