#batmtarotchallenge
I’m doing two tarot challenges on Instagram this month, one being #shadowworkoctober and the other being the #batmtarotchallenge hosted by Claire Goodchild at Black and the Moon. Except for retreat days and religious observance days, I’ve been faithfully keeping up with my tarot challenges, putting a hold on my daily draws and a lot of…

Deck Sale!
As I have come to find out more about myself as a tarot reader, I have come to better understand what I look for in a deck. Therefore I have decided to pare my 11-deck collection down to 5. I have already found homes for three of my decks, but would like to offer the…

Some First Thoughts on the Thoth Tarot
When I first began reading about tarot, I came across references to the Thoth deck and was not interested at all. A deck by Aleister Crowley about some Egyptian god? I’ll pass. But one day a few months later, I googled the deck for some reason and was amazed by what came up on image…

What’s new?
I’m back after over a month on hiatus. I returned from my wonderful trip to Vermont on August 8th and spent the next three weeks finishing my dissertation. Tarot was indeed a powerful part of my experience in Vermont and I’m drafting a post about it, but right now I thought I would do the…

The Wild Unknown
Like everyone and their cat in the tarot world, I now have a copy of the Wild Unknown Tarot by Kim Krans. The card images I saw online made a lot of sense to me intuitively. And as I’m drawn to decks with simpler artwork (particularly those where the emphasis is on line rather than…

The Slow Holler deck is funded!!
I was SO HAPPY a few hours ago when I got an email from Kickstarter saying that the Slow Holler Tarot Deck has met its funding goal! I’ve been watching the campaign for a month now with varying degrees of pessimism. Since I’ve never backed a Kickstarter campaign before, I didn’t realize that the “last-minute…

So this happened…
There will be more later. A LOT more later, mostly because I’m still processing all this stuff. But stay tuned!

The $2 Deck Wrap
One thing I can say for sure is that many of the rituals surrounding storing and “cleansing” tarot decks really don’t appeal to me. Sometimes my die-hard skeptic comes out and I’m like–“There is no way I’m going to waste a bunch of salt or sage on a tarot placebo.” The same goes for the…
