Celebrating the Crone

Mon, 02/20/2012 - 13:33 — Christiana

In Some Pagan traditions, we see the divine feminine as a triple Goddess.  She is Maiden, Mother and Crone.  We can also see these three faces of the Goddess as the three stages of womanhood.

Sadly, Western society seems to revere women in the maiden stage of life a lot more than  it reveres mothers and crones.  This causes women to long for their youth, rather than choosing to celebrate the wisdom that comes with age.

Help with the "Quiet Querrent"

Tue, 02/14/2012 - 10:12 — fairwinds4linda

I am looking for guidance here. Recently I did a Celtic Cross reading. I went through the reading and created a general story for my querrent because she did not have a specific question. During the reading I would pause and ask if anything I was saying had meaning for her, or if I was helping her to think differently about any situations in her life. Although, she said it did, she wouldn't elaborate and was quiet during much of the reading.

4,5,6 – Pushing Out of the Comfort Zone

Sat, 02/04/2012 - 13:49 — Christiana

 

I have been thinking a lot about the 4-5-6 cards in tarot.

Traditionally, 4 is the number of security, and stability.  But if you look at some of the 4 cards in tarot, you can see that security and stability sometimes form a comfort zone that is very limiting – we become stuck within a box.

Many tarotists see 5 as a number of conflict, because there is so much conflict depicted in all the tarot fives.

"The Witches" A dream about my sisters, forever being the 3 of cups.

"The Witches"

 

    I sat right by her side, close enough to experience her terror first hand. Her wasted spirit was being pinned down by the most majestic one of the three. She was exploding in spurts of wrath as if to show us how wretched her existence truly was. Undeniably, a creature of doom.

Sacrifice – The Hanged Man

Fri, 01/20/2012 - 09:31 — Christiana

The tarot card 'The Hanged Man'We discussed Card 12 of the Major Arcana in a tarot class last week.  As with any deep study of a card, we looked at it from a number of different perspectives.  That is a particularly funny statement to make about the Hanged Man, though, because the Hanged Man is all about perspective.

A Little Known Secret About Using Tarot Books for Intuitive Readings

Tue, 12/20/2011 - 05:32 — BiddyTarot

Lately, Tarot books have been getting a bad rap.

"Put the book down!"

"Learn to use your intuition, not the book!"

"Forget everything you have learned!"

But, I have to say, I am still a fan of using Tarot books to help me read Tarot. And here's why.

Books on Tarot provide excellent learning material and stimulus.

The Deck in Your Head

Sun, 12/11/2011 - 17:45 — Christiana

Do you have a tarot deck in your head?  For me, this is really a prerequisite for a great professional (or aspiring) reader.

As beginning students, we spend a lot of time looking at tarot images.  We try to memorize key words and meanings.  As we become familiar with the images, we find deeper ways of understanding the cards, based on what we see in the pictures.  The pictures speak to our intuition, as well as to our logical mind.

The Tarot Night Before Christmas

The Tarot Night Before Christmas

 

‘Twas the night before Christmas and the elves were all busy

Filling orders for tarot decks had them in a tizzy!

 

Who wants the Wizard, and who wants the Wildwood,

If they mix up the names, that would not be so good.

 

Some want Mystereum, and some want the Spiral,

Some want tarot videos that on youtube went viral.

 

The Gilded, the Golden, the Dragons, the Cats,

The Halloween deck with its ghosts and its bats.

 

Samhain (Halloween)

Tue, 10/18/2011 - 19:41 — Joanne

I’ve been thinking recently of how Halloween night was when I was young.  There were five of us back then—my sister and I, and three cousins, all close to the same age.  My sister was the oldest.  She was in charge of keeping the rest of us safe and together as we visited house after house in the neighborhood. 

How to Really Learn Tarot

Wed, 10/12/2011 - 16:03 — Christiana

So you’ve done it.  You’ve bought a deck of tarot cards, or maybe dusted off the ones in the attic.  You bought a tarot book, or borrowed one from the library.  You’ve started a tarot class at your local adult education program, New Age center or church.  Maybe you found a tarot webinar to attend online.

You attend your first tarot class.  At some point it dawns on you.  There is a lot here to learn!  Tarot is a complex body.  Seventy-eight cards represent a lot of work.
