Hanging with dragons

I hoard tarot decks. And oracle decks. And lenormand. *** This blog was supposed to be about my tarot learning journey, but I got sidetracked, and then I got lost... *** Warning: there will be some cursing and swearing, and perhaps the occasional firebreathing. *** Note: I usually put more stuff in the tags. Read the tags :) *** (This is a side blog. Asks, replies & follows will come from servantoftheboll.)

Monstarot

A 78 card Tarot deck & guide by Joanna Nelson - printed in the USA! The Monstarot was created to reach the inner child inside us all.

I was so excited about this deck, followed its creation on Instagram for months. And then I found I couldn't afford to back it due to some fucking ridiculous international shipping costs... Boo :(

But yay, support it all who can :)

[hangingdragonsofbabylon]

Go support this awesome lenormand deck! :)

I have a tendency to do things backwards, but I’m slowly adding on to my growing list of posts about reading tarot cards using the lenormand reading style. 

For those new to this, I much prefer the reading system of lenormand than I do of tarot, but I like the symbols and history of tarot, as well as the many more cards (which is multiplied when you consider tarot has reversals and lenormand does not). So I created a system to combine the two.

I’ll eventually get to the suits, but above are all the majors and their reversals broken down into (noun) keyword (my own interpretation of the cards, fyi) and other parts of speech (noun, adjective, verb and adverb). 

For those TOTALLY new to lenormand, lenormand cards are pulled in multiples and never singly (i.e. no single card draws). The cards are read in combination of one another in a sentence-like manner (i.e. one card as subject and the others as modifiers).

Three card or more draws include stringing together the subject with various parts of speech to make a coherent sentence.

So anyway, I broke each major card into the parts of speech for reference when reading tarot in lenormand style. The 4 suits will be coming at some point for a complete reference. 

[hangingdragonsofbabylon]

Ooooooh, I like this! Waiting for the suits :)

This is the most profitable piece of art that I have ever made. Seriously, this is the only thing I sell in my stores. It’s fascinating.

[hangingdragonsofbabylon]

Hope it's fine to reblog to a sideblog? :D (my main is @servantoftheboll)

[hangingdragonsofbabylon]

I'm thinking about doing the nanowrimo thing in November, and I'm thinking I'd use tarot to help me with ideas (because I have nothing planned as of yet)... Anyone have any decks you'd recommend for this purpose? Keep in mind I have no intuition/imagination and I'd need something with actual stuff going on in the cards... Thanks! :)

This was... oddly helpful? :D

Woop, guess who right now owns one hundred (100) tarot decks! :D

[thecrackedamethyst]

I’m really having fun with these. There’s so much more freedom. Which is also a bad thing, cause like, where should I go with these? Too many possibilities.

[hangingdragonsofbabylon]

Ooooooo, pretty pretty pretty :D

#52tarot, week three

I haven’t taken any pictures yet, because I’m still kinda working on this challenge prompt... So far I have the simple and perhaps obvious solution, but I do plan to do a more involved one at some point. I have one of each piece for now - for my next try, I’ll try to have a full set of 16 pieces... :)

King - The Emperor

Queen - The Empress

Bishop - The Hierophant

Knight - Knight of Swords and/or Wands

Rook - The Chariot

Pawn - Death

[hangingdragonsofbabylon]

I brought 19 decks with me on summer holiday, will be staying for two months and a bit... you think I have enough??
