The Tarot Night Before Christmas

Mon, 11/28/2011 - 07:55 — Joanne

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. 

The Fool's Journey

Sat, 09/10/2011 - 20:53 — Joanne

There he is, standing at the edge of the cliff, with his faithful dog dancing at his feet.  His face is turned upward.  He’s not paying attention to where he is going.  He is on a journey, but where will that journey take him?  Will he fall off that cliff?  Will he jump off that cliff?  Will he be pushed off that cliff? Whatever way he falls from the safety of the ground below his feet, how will he land—on his feet? Fallen and injured?

Spirituality

Mon, 09/05/2011 - 15:05 — Joanne

Spirituality does not belong to any one religion. No matter what our beliefs may be---God, Gods, Goddesses, Buddha, Great Spirit, Wicca, Paganism, or any other religious belief.  An atheist or agnostic can be spiritual, also.  Spirituality dwells inside each of us. It is not praying in a temple, or lighting a candle in church.  It is not following the rituals of the religion that we have been taught.  It is not a matter of blind belief or we will be going to hell.

In the dark with tarot

Sat, 09/03/2011 - 01:09 — Joanne

Literally, in the dark with tarot! It is 10:30 PM on Sunday, August 28, as I write this.  Hurricane Irene passed through my state today. The storm had barely begun when my power went out at 1:30 AM.  The rest of the night seemed to go on forever, until finally, at daybreak, I was able to see the trees swaying and bowing in the strong winds and pounding rain.  During the daylight hours, I read books, I listened to the same music and weather reports over and over again on a battery powered radio.  I cringed every time I heard power would be restored in one to three days.  Hopefully!

My Card - The Nine of Pentacles

 Why I Am The Nine Of Pentacles

 

So many decks, so little time!

Sat, 08/20/2011 - 22:19 — Joanne

So many decks, so little time to study every one!  There are traditional definitions for the standard deck of tarot cards, and then we have the artistic, free license decks.  Some are based on the traditional Rider Waite deck, but we are now being flooded with decks depicting everything from cats to insects, and everything and anything you can imagine in between. 

Balancing the suits in life.

Sat, 08/20/2011 - 17:40 — Joanne

As Christiana has pointed out, we could connect to Fire by being more playful and creative. We could connect to the Earth by spending more time with nature.  To fulfill both of these elements and their respective activities still calls for thoughts and emotions.  When we meditate, we are deep in thought inside ourselves.  When we cultivate the earth, we put our hearts and souls into tending the garden and nurturing the life we are growing there.  Not one of the four suits can exist without, in one way or another, some degree of dependence on the others.

Swords and Cups: The two most important suits of the tarot.

Fri, 08/19/2011 - 04:41 — Joanne

After reading Christiana Gaudet’s blog regarding the suit of swords, I began to think about the suits in the tarot deck, and what effect they have on our daily lives.  The major arcana cards tell the story of our journey from that first step off the cliff and into the unknown, to our accomplishments and being on top of the world. 

So, where do the other suits fit into our daily lives? I believe that the swords and cups are the two most important suits in the tarot deck that dominate everything we do.

Tarot Bags

Custom Tarot Bags by Joanne For several years now I have been making custom tarot card bags.  These bags are embroidered with a design suitable to the theme of the deck, and can be personalized with your name.

If you are interested in purchasing a bag for yourself, or as a gift for a tarot friend, please email me at kumasan@ct.metrocast.net for details.
