Very true, very true. I couldn't put it in percentages but who knows how our icebergs are connected to others and the wisdom of the universe? But it's not a fail-proof access to the realm of visions. Plug-and-play, welcome to Divine Knowledge. Sometimes people think it's that easy, I wish it was. I'...

That's interesting. It's possible that you intuitively understood what the other person was going through and the cards helped you bring this knowledge to the surface. That's a good way to use the cards - amplify your senses and give a voice to your intuition. I'm probably in a minority in the tarot...

I'm still of the firm opinion that lurking spiritually into another person's mind is a violation of the person's border and a potential misuse of tarot. I know that tarot's recent popularity is thanks to the illusion that it's possible. I think these Other readings are mostly wishful thinking readin...

I have often thought about it. My dream is to make a deck for myself in the rhythm of the year - creating the cards when their time is come, using many different materials. what a pity that I stopped making art. I re-started some time ago but I'm no longer good at it What a shame, I studied art.

I want to collect links to the Four Corners of the Year readings we had here on CoT: Summer Solstice 2018, Autumn Equinox 2018, Yule 2018, Vernal Equinox 2019, Summer Solstice 2019 Yule 2019 Vernal Euqinox 2020 Summer Solstice 2020 Autumn Equinox 2020 Yule 2020 Vernal Equinox 2021

Picking a deck is always such a lovely dilemma! I have used in the past for the Summer Solstice reading: 2017 - Harmonious Tarot 2018 - Rosetta Tarot 2019 - Etruscan Tarot 2020 - Pharos Tarot I need a deck with a warm, summery feeling.... hmm..... my newest decks, Mystical Moments and Stella, are no...

The whole archetype thing was put into the world by C.G. Jung, a patriarch of the old fashioned kind, based on the myths of the patriarchy that watered down female archetypes because they feared their powers. It's ridiculous to the male energy at the creation of life as active and the female as pass...

I totally agree that in most cases, clarifiers are not helpful. It's better to spend a bit more time to sharpen the question. I personally work with spreads, i.e. defined spread positions which I write down before I start. If my spread positions (usually no more than three or four) are clearly formu...

Dear Emperor, I think everyone can relate! Unfortunately, you can't force Fate. Maybe it's time to use tarot differently now. It sounds you're going through a Hanged Man phase. Why not take a good look at the Hanged Man, meditate about the card, write down your ideas about him, make your own version...

I'm another INFJ, no doubt, I've taken this test many times over the years. Don't we INFJs love our test result :-D I can't really see the Knight of Cups as INFJ. They're a knight. They may be the most introvert of the Knights on the sliding scale but I see the Knights as extroverts. But I'll think ...

Today we opened the month of June, and very soon, we'll be celebrating the Summer Solstice, one of the high points of the year. They are magical times, the two solstices and two equinoxes which order our lives, seasons, cultures, holidays... and whenever you see a clockface or a compass rose, you se...

Whatever happened in your life, you can be certain that a pack of cardboard images was not responsible for it. Aleister Crowley cultivated his dangerouns image carefully, imho for ego reasons and to appear more powerful, but there is nothing sinister about his Thoth tarot. I personally use it for ne...

This is an older thread but I'm glad I found it. I received today the beautiful Tarot of Mystical Moments by Catrin Welz-Stein, a digital collage deck with surrealist atmosphere and a very seamless look. It looks wonderful for intuitive readings. A good walkthrough video: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

How beautiful is the Tabula Mundi in silver!!!

Dear old deck stork was here today, it took its time but finally, the Tarot of Mystical Moments has arrived. This deck looks very very special, I'm curious how it will read for me. I put it in my "Inner Child decks" group.

Oh, that's a wonderful rug! I'm totally inspired now to make something similar... didn't do any crafts for too long.... hmmmmm.... that looks just great!

I've used this little exercise to think about what I really need from tarot, and I think self-soothing and study are also important categories. Clarity : this is the most basic category. We all read tarot in order to get clear, honest answers. It's difficult because wishful thinking always sways us....

I remember when the idea first came up.... and I'm so glad this forum exists. It's my home on the Internet, and even when I'm too exhausted to write, I read and learn a lot here. It's a wonderful place, and thank you to Joan Marie who made it so.

No, nefesh is not instinct. Nefesh is the soul, and it also stands for a person. How many nefashot live in this house? for example. Nafshi, the adjective, is also used for psychological diseases, machalat nefesh would be a mental disorder. Nefesh is very much like the German Seele which describes ex...

If you want me to transcribe a word or name to Hebrew, you can tell me so here, or in a PM. Then you can do the rest of the checks on your own.

Intuition is, in my definition, based on skill. A skilled, experienced professional can rely on their intuition because everything they ever learnt and did is present at every moment. I don't think I'm an intuitive person but I read for others every day, and I learned to rely more on the inner voice...

I want to add - the paths on the Tree of Life also belong here, there are many versions on the Internet, and it's also included as a card in a number of decks. tree with paths.jpg Once you know the letters, trumps and paths, you know more about the cards where they appear. Of course, the minors are ...

By now, if you have followed me so far, you will understand why the GD correspondences make a Hebrew speaker unhappy, and why I torpedoed a perfectly nice thread with my whining about it! Sorry about that! My most important sentence there was: Hebrew letters don't HAVE numbers, they ARE numbers. As ...

I will add now the Hebrew names of the star signs (mazalot - mazal means luck), planets and of the tarot trumps, and their gematric value. Star signs The Hebrew calendar is a moon-based calendar and as such closely related to the Babylonian zodiac, the cirle of animals, that we use until today. It w...

I have no idea whether anyone will come that far... but here we go! The information is out there, and you're free to use it. Now let's take my name, Nemia. נמיה Nun, mem, yod, he Nun is obvious, I don't need the E because we don't write vowels, the yod indicates that there's an I, and the he indicat...

I break this up into lessons, you can take one at a time if you want to. If you want to study the Hebrew letters, you can use one of these tables of the Hebrew alphabet, in different scripts/fonts, and write them until you know them. Most of them fit nicely into a square, that's why Hebrew script is...
