Re: Special Announcement about Cult of Tarot

Thank you for all that you've done, Joan-Marie. I think forums are really difficult to make work these days, with social media consuming so much of the attention and discussion that would normally keep a forum alive. And there's some strong competition in the space. I like your idea of a drop-in page.

Re: Queen of Pentacles (RWS)

I tend to see family growth in the aces and the three of cups, possibly three of wands, as well as to a lesser degree in the Empress, Sun, and QoP. I agree with others' reservations about the fertility thing - sure, it can be there in the Empress and Queen of Pents, but I don't think it's the domina...

Re: Confused by answers from Tarot cards

This is a learning forum, not a place for free readings, so you need to explain the reading yourself for feedback. Why do you interpret them in the way that you do? You need to provide your understanding of the meanings for each card and how you see them relating to each other. Why did you draw four...

Re: Today's Card: Questions & Comments

The first thing I do when visiting this site, is to read the tarot card of the day - unfailingly. Thanks Joan 💛 Me too, one of my favorite features of the site. Do we have a 'previous cards of the day' list? I was going to mention one that had resonated but I can't recall which it was. No matter if...

Re: Tarot Card Meanings

Greetings 'heathmanifested' - ok, so it's somewhat poor form to spam your own sites and not participate, but that aside, there are some pretty good pages on the site.

Don't take the cards or yourself too seriously, but be open to their potential. They can be such a wonderful tool for communication and growth.

Re: O.B.O.D Bardic Training

I tried it years ago but I have found it very dogmatic, as in every spiritual practice really. Also, there is very little left of druids and their history so a lot is New Age and made up. I think that could be said of many faiths, and they are transparent about that.I'm not sure that being a recons...

Re: Do you categorize your decks?

That's really interesting. You could do a Wordpress blog library with a blog entry for each deck and a tag for each theme they belong to. I don't have that many decks, so for me it's just 'Tarot' and 'Non-Tarot' lol. Or perhaps 'decks I use' and 'decks I am too lazy to move on'. I think themes are r...

Re: The Tower as a recurring daily card

I feel like the whole world is facing down a Tower situation right now. Even if you're in a comfortable place yourself, no-one is an island. I also often see these cards as a snapshot of one possible path - sometimes they'll be averted by action, so it can be a warning to check your footing, check y...
