Appreciated. Because I have been interested in Kabbalah but don't have people to talk to about it I have "memorized" the tree of life several times and then forgot. So this was useful - like priming the pump. Pamela, I think it would be fabulous if you started a conversation about Kabbala...

My thoughts are that for beginners, i.e. those without this ability, in order to read intuitively you need to get in touch with your own mental symbolism (not easy if you aren't aware of it in the first place ), or to create that 'tarot language' by practise using one of the systems as a starting p...

I am so freaking excited. Following along with this project over the last eight months has been such a pleasure.

I went looking through his other artwork on his site and fell in love with several of his paintings. They are out of my budget but -not- overpriced. If he ever offered prints for sale, I would grab one of those to help patronize him. It made me wince to think of how inadequately he was paid (both up...

He may have known the basics but he didn't really know Hebrew. Hebrew letters don't HAVE numbers, they ARE numbers. It's not an association you can change, like you can say: in my deck, Swords are associated with Fire. Aleph IS one. Crowley can decide to change that, of course, but then he disrespe...

I was looking for something else just now and stumbled across MyWanderingFool's Three Card Tarot Spreads – The Ultimate list of 3-Card Spread Variations which I ~think~ has some things that haven't been added to the pile yet.

So, I divide all spreads into six categories. I started with five in some thread somewhere, lol: self-development, forecasting, problem-solving, relationships, and creative (writing prompts, helping world-build, etc). Then recently I added spirit craft meaning spreads about spirit guides, gods, ange...

What an incredibly useful and wonderful thread!

[quote=Nemia post_id=24062 time=1619871738 user_id=54] Yoav, this gentle soul, explains it all very nicely in his chapter "Hebrew Letters" in his book "Tarot - the Open Reading", a wonderful book. The French tradition of assigning Hebrew letters to cards was created by Eliphas Le...

Beautiful. The cards are simply beautiful.


The Rinascimento website has now become a recent favorite of mine, to admire the entire catalog. All of you are just as amazing as your cards are beautiful.

Hi Starla! Everything Rose said made sense to me. The insights that came up for you afterward make sense as well. My advice would be to not rush to make more readings about this other person right away. Just practice other readings with other topics this upcoming week and I hope you stick around and...

Hi Artemis and welcome to the forum! I wish I could be more helpful than I'm going to be. All of your instincts about this seem solid, I agree with your interpretations. For me personally, "Lightning Strikes My Tower" moments are unmistakably dramatic and there is very little warning ahead...

Synastry as a general concept and an Art within astrology itself is fascinating to me. Anything that involves "how do we teach ourselves and help other people to have better, healthier, happier relationships with us, themselves, and each other" catches my attention. I filter through it all...

I never have used a dating app at all or a dating website or anything like that. But I've followed some of the trends about them all and I don't see anything wrong with exploring one. Being an astrology dabbler, mostly to take concepts and then apply them to self-development and life coaching vs. an...

:D thank you so much! That's exactly what the cards were probably pointing to! I lack energy/focus/motivation to practise meditation/concentration etc. aside from astral travel. I'll try to focus on deeper states of consciousness more often so that astral projection will be easier to achieve(and ye...

Thanks to karinac73 reporting in this thread that a limited run of a second edition of the Tyldwick deck just launched -and- my May SSDI check arriving today instead of Monday? I am so excited to say that Tyldwick is joining my modest collection. If I don't use UberEats at all this month, I can tota...

Hi Petakubi! That was the perfect information to provide, the question, the cards, your interpretation and which deck you used :) 6 of cups + Hermit The RWS 6 of Cups depicts an older child or dwarfed man sharing a cup with a young child. It typically means looking back on happier memories or taking...

Thank you for those videos, MaggieMae I want to go back someday soon and read this entire study group thread. I don't yet have an opinion of Teal Swan either way; their work isn't something I've followed. But I felt like that first video was a good introduction to the concept of Shadow Work itself a...

So in my opinion this article is a mishmash of esoteric associations that are possible but have no real link to anything Hebrew. To call it "The Fool card and its Hebrew connections" is a bit far-fetched. She should have called it "The Fool card and some possible esoteric speculation...

Right now I am reading and doing the exercises from Mary K Greer, Tarot for yourself. I like it so far. I journal everything and found that I rather like journaling. I think it would interesting to do the type of exercise you described. I really like journaling too. Currently, I keep two online jou...

I believe in "Know Thyself" and "Nothing To Excess" and most of the lesser-known Delphic maxims . There's a long history and endless debate on the topic of how occult do you keep the occult. My personal truth is that "Keep Silent" applies (for tarot readings and everyth...

Oh thank you. I will definitely keep you updated here. I hope to be sharing more as I go along. Currently, I'm in the final stages of completing the final sketches and inking all the art. Once that is done, I just have to format the cards and then I would move into the stage of, how am I going to m...

Those cards are lovely and I love the idea behind this deck. I'm not as familiar with Cyprian and José Leitão as I feel like someone like me should be. So consider me completely intrigued and excited about this project

Tarot for self-development is my jam too. :) Here is a spread specifically for ancestor work. I haven't used it; I'm so busy trying to teach myself how to live as much in the day-to-day present vs. struggling with the past or fearing for the future that I am really specific in what kind of readings ...

Thanks,I am glad to be here. I have joined some other forums but they are very very quiet and I was a member on FB groups in the past but all the readings there were about ex-lovers, so there was not much there for me. ;). It's really great to have you join us. By all means feel free to ask questio...
