Re: Forum Drama and Our Culture

This is such an interesting topic. I think one difficulty is that spirituality concerns very deeply held feelings. It is frightening and vulnerable to share these online, as you're truly sharing a piece of yourself. I love the idea of really busy tarot forums. I personally feel safer to discuss thin...

Re: Bad Deck Reviews: Fair or Just Mean?

A very interesting post. I find mainsteam deck reviews tend to be too uncritical. There is a huge quantity of stuff coming out, and an honest review is an important way to sift through it all to unearth the real gems. The larger publishers, especially the large tarot angelcard farms, do get far too ...

Re: Consuming the Tarot

What interesting thoughts. I am rather shocked and surprised at the idea of any Tarot related disagreement, no matter how heated, degenerating to the level of death threats, police involvement, et cetera. It's certainly not something I've come across, and those who have been on the receiving end of...

Re: Consuming the Tarot

There's really so much more I want to say about these issues, about the overcommercialization, about the dilution in the quality of the discussions, engagements, and even depth behind the tarot art in tarot decks nowadays - The Devil's Advocate is going to be very busy I suspect.... :twisted: When ...

Re: Book and other resources - tips for Thoth newbies and lovers

ETA_ I just saw your same recommendation _R_! Great minds think alike? :D There is a little book by Gerald Suster 'The Truth About the Tarot' - he is a great Thoth admirer. It is a general tarot book but the interpretations have some good Thoth nuggets. He has some rather predictable views about wom...

Re: Do what thou wilt?

My interpretation when I first heard the phrase was of things simply being the way they have to be- (somewhat like the notion of fate but far more organic and mutable. ) It shifted a little, partly influenced by Du Quette and similar, but not by much. When I saw the Love is the Law, Love Under Will,...

I've nearly finished the card. Here is the description! (I write faster than I paint as you can see) ;) Happy to chop bits out if it's too long... The expanding star In of ourself, we are all alone whatever our outward circumstances. This is both beautiful and liberating. We are all galaxies of many...

Hi lovely! I was just wondering if there was a specific word limit for the accompanying card text? I have had a rummage round but can't seem to spot it ;)

Hi Kare! Thanks for your patience. I have chosen the Tarot of the Hidden Realm to represent the influence nature currently has over us, then added in the Starchild Akashic deck to represent the 'ideal' we are all navigating towards in the circumstances. It has a cool air that seems rather suited to ...

Hi lovely, thanks for doing this! I am currently slightly concerned about an old friend (nothing major). He doesn't seem quite as happy as usual and a way of looking at it from a different angle, with an eye to helping him, would be really useful. I'm happy for you to use your intuition in selecting...
