You're not wrong. I'm not right.

Quick Question!!

A witch I babysit for who is also a long time family friend told me that you shouldn’t buy or make your own tarot deck, one must be given to you. Is that true? If so what are the consequences of buying or making your own?

[secretworkings]

UM NONE. what is this shittery.

So-called tarot traditions are ripe with imaginary bullshit designed to keep the ignorant unaware rather than empower, as the tarot is designed to do.

When you can't control what's happening, challenge yourself to control your response. That's where your power is.

This was one of the messages from a recent reading. As fellow humans, we should always extend compassion. The cards, however, just tell it like it is. 😂 #tarotreading #healing #forgetthatidiot #impendingbreakup #choices

Deck Interview Spread

I found this spread a few years ago on Aeclectic Tarot. It is a simple six card spread that allows you to meet your new tarot deck and get to know it. It’s strengths and weaknesses. It’s personality. It will show how it can help you grow, become a better reader and a better person. It is usually the first spread I throw for any deck.

The cards can be laid out any way you prefer, I lay mine out left to right.

Card #1: Tell me about yourself? What is your most important characteristic? The general personality of your deck. This question will reveal if your deck is painfully truthful, a prankster, a pragmatist, a romantic, etc.

Card #2: What are your strengths as a deck? The best features of your deck. This will help decide what kind of questions to ask and spreads to throw.

Card #3: What are your limits as a deck? This card represents the challenges, blocks and obstacles your deck may have. This is also helpful to decide what questions to ask and spreads to throw.

Card #4: What do you bring to the table? What are you here to teach me? We all have teachers in life and Tarot’s higher purpose is to teach us. To show us our areas of growth and help us improve.

Card #5: How can I best learn from and collaborate with you? Tarot, like all relationships, is a partnership. This card shows how to best utilize that partnership and shows you the best way to approach your deck.

Card #6: What is the potential outcome of our relationship? The most likely result of working diligently with your deck.

Alice’s tarot spread

Inspired by “ Alice’s theme’ by Danny Elfman and the new film, Alice: through the looking glass. This tarot spread is for the “curiouser and curiouser” of days when you’re just feeling confused and need your questions addressed…

1) “ Oh, Alice, dear where have you been? So near, so far, so in-between” What was your past like? What lead up to now?

2) “ What have you heard? What have you seen? Alice! Alice! Please, Alice!” How has your past influenced what’s happening now? 

3) “How can you know this way not that? You choose the door, you choose the path” How will you be able to choose what you want? 

4) “nothing is quite as it seems You’re dreaming! Are you dreaming? Oh, Alice!” What’s not important at this time that you keep focusing on? 

5) “How many miles to Wonderland?” How will this confusion end? 

[tarotgram]

POSITION 1: What needs to be left in the past? What about this situation do you need to let go of in order to move forward?

POSITION 2: What are your present circumstances? What energies are currently surrounding you?

POSITION 3: What should you take with you? What is the valuable lesson to be found here?

POSITION 4: Advice for you. What is the best course of action in order to move forward in a healthy way?

POSITION 5: Something to look forward to. What positive development is coming up in the near future?

Redesigned spread layout! What do y’all think?

Well…Now What?

I created this spread to cheer up a friend who had just been through a rough patch. Despite having come out of the other side of a looooong and difficult situation, she was feeling a little lost and empty so I really wanted to empower her but at the same time give her some hope.

Hope this is useful to you! Happy tarot-ing!

I was trying to make a romance spread about finding love.  But the Universe pulled me into making a Self-love spread instead.  As always, I tested the spread. It was a lovely change and the first time I used the Romantic Tarot. Happy belated Valentine’s Day.

First positive trait about you: Reverse 7 of Swords- Most people think I’m lying or not being true to them.  Which isn’t the case at all. I’m a very honest person. Everything I say is just as I am. My good trait is my honesty.

Second positive trait about you: 5 of cups- I regret some of my life choices because of their outcome. Not how I felt at the moment.  But this just means I’m living my life. And I’m reflecting on my actions so I’m always learning about myself and how to live my ideal life.

Third positive trait about you: Page of Pentacle- I’m always looking an opportunity for better myself. Quoting from Hamilton “I’m not throwing away my shot”

Forgive yourself on this issue: 6 of cups- Nostalgia is my issues.  Sometimes, I romanticized the past at times.  However, you can’t repeat the past and it’s nice to look back. I just have to remember to keep moving forward

First step on practicing self-care: Reverse of Lovers- There is no going back to my past lovers.  I’ve changed and they’ve changed.  It’s time to take the lessons I learned from them. And just remember it when I start dating again.

Second step on practicing self-care: 4 of Pentacle- Shopping therapy is not going to help solve my problem. So I just have to be mindful not to spend my money thinking it would fill a void

Third step on practicing self-care: 7 of wands- I have to trust myself. I know when the right one will walk into my life.  I just have to trust the risk is worth the possible fall.
