Help Me Buy Some Decks!

I’d really like to afford the Numinous Tarot. And the Butterfly Tarot. But right now, I can only afford one more than the other, so I’m kind of in a bind and would like to raise funds. I know it’s not as much of a need as other things, but it would mean a lot to get both! Or at least one. The price tags I’m looking at are $54 total for Numinous after shipping, and $35 tier for Butterfly Tarot. (I do not know if that includes or excludes shipping, since I’ve never backed a kickstarter before) To get both will cost me about $90.

So I’d really like to emphasize that I’ve got readings available for purchase at my Etsy and Envy shops. I can also make custom listings if there’s a particular spread or card amount you’d like me to do, so long as the spread is available for use in shops. I also have an eBay shop, where I’ve been trying to sell off some old things, and I have some other things that I’d like to list once these items clear. 

The cut-off date for Numinous Tarot’s first batch is the 16th, at noon, so I know that’s cutting it short and it’s overall unrealistic to raise enough funds within such a short time constraint. The Butterfly Tarot’s KS ends when this month ends, so that’s got a bit more possibility of happening.

Please help reblog this and buy some readings. If you don’t want to reblog something that looks like this post, I have a shop promo post here that I would appreciate reblogs on as well.

Thank you for looking, reblogging, and overall supporting me!

Allec Reviews Rosa of Swords

Shop URL: Rosa of Swords

Shop Owner: @rosaofswords

Date Reading was Ordered: May 6th, 2017 (morning)

Date Reading was Received: May 6th, 2017 (afternoon)

Readings Purchased: “Introspective Gunslinger” for $15 and “Minako Morning” for $5

Overall Rating: 10/10

Disclaimer: Rosa in no way solicited this review from me. I did purchased this reading for myself for my own reasons. 

First I want to mention how happy I was with the turnaround. Granted, on Rosa’s shop she states what hours she will be available and when she won’t, so I caught her shop was “open” for business. You can, of course, order any day of the week at any time -- but I imagine the turnaround will be slower on days she states she’s not available. 

Both readings I purchased required no question from me, but I asked Rosa to narrow the focus of the “Introspective Gunslinger” spread to zero in on my self-confidence. The spread did just that, and Rosa’s gentle words helped confirmed with what my private readings had been telling me. Then I ordered the “Minako Morning” spread just to sure up some things, and once again Rosa worked her magic and assured me of things I needed to know -- as well as giving me some plan of action for tackling the problems I am having.

One thing that I think is very unique to Rosa that I may adopt in my readings at some point is that she explains the reading prior to getting into the cards. For example, she explained what the Minako Morning was intended to do and how it was intended to help. Then, she went into the reading.

Her readings are concise. There isn’t a lot of fluff around the raw interpretations she gives. This helped me, because I could reread the sections and allow their messages to really sink into me. And these meanings resonated so well with me that I don’t know what else she could have written.

In each reading, I got a picture of the cards laid out in the spread. Rosa picked which decks she used, and I think she picked very well for me.

At any rate, Rosa is an A+ diviner who doesn’t nearly get the recognition she deserves. Hopefully this review sheds some light towards her and her talents.

The Butterfly’s Wings is Officially Open for Business!!

Hello all!! As you may know, I have been hard at work all these past few months on opening up my Etsy and Storenvy storefronts. Especially Storenvy’s. I am proud to announce that my tarot reading stores are officially opened!!! You can now buy a Single, Three Card, or specialty Power Within reading from me on these storefronts!! More readings will be coming soon, as they are tested and/or created, so feel free to subscribe or bookmark the pages. 

If you see a particular reading that you would like done by me that you do not see a listing for, please feel free to let me know, and I will be more than happy to implement the listing or create a unique listing, just for you!

Cartomancy side of Tumblr, I need help

Etsy or Storenvy or Paypal Invoices for opening up paid readings? This is still at least a month or so out, but I wanna get the info down now. I haven’t used any of these store fronts, so while “which is easiest for both sides of the transaction” is important, so is knowing the pros/cons of each when it comes to selling readings, but bonus points for it having a way to keep track of which orders I have completed/sent and which ones still need to get done [sort of like an inbox/outbox feature, but of product, obviously enough.]

Also tagging several people to hopefully offer their input/experiences or if they know anything about the different store fronts, but of course I’m open to more than just their inputs.

@static-chaos @loganscove @shelbymelissa @yuna-the-autumn-witch @tarotprose @nicstoirm @geminisaiah @divinecrossroads

obligatory question mark for responses ?

Date Reading was Ordered: May 13th, 2017 (evening)

Date Reading was Received: May 13th, 2017 (evening)

Readings Purchased: “One Card Reading”

Overall Rating: 9/10

Disclaimer: Fish offered this reading to me for free in exchange for a review and feedback. 

I was really happy when Fish offered me this chance for one of their readings since I have been curious about their shop since I stumbled upon it (I had it favorited before they approached me for this reading -- no lie!) They were courteous throughout the entire exchange. While I didn’t order from their shop on Etsy, I imagine they would be just as helpful in the Etsy conversations as they were in our private conversations.

The reading came in a simple image of high resolution that contained a header image (displayed above) as well as the card they pulled. I really liked how they wrote it like a letter to me. It felt very personal and friendly, even though we’ve only spoken only a few times. My one complaint is that they didn’t include my question in the reading given back to me, but I brought this up to them and they said they’ll do that for future readings.

They asked me for my zodiac sign before doing this reading, which Fish then used in their interpretations to boost what the card was saying. 

At any rate, they answered my career question with some solid advice taken from the single card reading. It really felt like they were cheering me on with what the card was telling me. 

In short: simple, comfortable, and enjoyable. Really hope to order from Fish’s shop in the future! (Especially eyeing that Pocket Crystal Reading... especially now that I know their readings are good stuff!)

Allec Reviews Resonating Readings

Shop URL: Resonating Readings

Shop Owner: @resonance-of-libra​

Date Reading was Ordered: July 17th, 2018 (afternoon)

Date Reading was Received: July 19th, 2018 (morning)

Readings Purchased: “A Single Step Tarot Reading”

Overall Rating: 10/10

Disclaimer: Libra did not pay me for this review. I bought this reading for my own purposes.

I have heard good things about LIbra’s readings from their blog, so I decided to buy a reading from Libra to help me with direction of a project of mine. Libra messaged me soon after I placed my order and gave me an estimate of when I would be getting my reading, and as promised I got it within a few days.

The reading I got today was fantastic with a lot of care put into its presentation. Libra sent me a link to a dropbox where I could view my reading, which is a decorative PDF. The overview of the spread was shown, but Libra also had individual cards placed where they discussed the card’s significance. The PDF had a nice background that accented but did not distract from the reading, and the writing was in a legible font and size (for me, anyways. I’m not sure if screen-readers would work with this layout as I don’t have one.)

The content of the reading was thorough and, indeed, resonated with me! I gave just the initialized title of my project to Libra -- no other information about what it was about, what it meant to me, what I was already doing with it, etc -- but Libra was intuitively able to discern what the project signified to me and give me advice about how to proceed forward. Libra did this by paying special attention to cards that repeated, how the Minor and Major were represented in the spread, and what numbers showed themselves. It was clear that Libra has spent a great deal of time studying Tarot cards and knows when to pull what information for the reading to make sense. Libra constantly referred to other cards in the spread, and how they influenced the card’s meaning. For example, Libra went into the significance of getting both Justice and Judgement in my reading, and where I got them, and what that means. 

Overall, I am very satisfied with my reading with Libra at Resonating Readings. I have no complaints and found the entire experience satisfying. I definitely plan on going back to Libra in the future for more readings!

I can’t leave a review on Etsy yet, so I figured I’d do a mini one here!

About two weeks ago, I bought one of @darkandnerdymomma‘s readings from her shop, which was honestly a nerdy joy from the start! The Legend of Tarot is my favourite deck to use for my own personal readings, so to see another reader using it as happily, with so many unique and carefully-designed spreads to go with it, made me feel right at home, you know? “She gets me,” I thought as I was browsing.

I received my reading a couple of days after payment in a nice neat PDF via email, which included some cute photos featuring more dorky delights, and close ups of the cards. The reading itself, which was just a general, was VERY on point; I didn’t ask about my life or what I’m meant to be doing with it but it was all laid out anyway! I became the hero of the story and my tale was told to me - I got a little bit of a schoolin’! It all rang so, so true. I don’t want to reveal too much, but everything I was told were things I knew deep down already, and handled gently and concisely.

Definitely my favourite thing about my purchase was just soaking up the concept - aTriforce spread, why didn’t I think of that?? Genius.

I’d definitely recommend this lovely reader! Check out her deliciously dorky shop here.

When you are looking at stores that offer Tarot readings, or just any divination practice in general, what do you look for? Is there things that make you consider that store more than others? Such as, they offer themed spreads, large spreads, seemingly a spread for every question ever? Do you go based on word of mouth?
