The Teacher

My hopes for the Gaian Tarot’s Teacher card (traditionally the Hierophant) have been exceeded. You can see the card here. It is beautiful, and just in line with what I would look for in a Pagan-inspired deck. Truthfully, my first thought when I saw it was “Wow! What a great Hermit card!” But, no, it […]

Understanding the Hierophant

The Major Arcana card associated with my Zodiac sign, Taurus, is the Hierophant. Quite honestly, I’ve always had trouble relating to it. In the Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) deck, the de facto standard for many Tarot readers, the card shows a cold figure that, to me, conjures up images of organized religion and stifling tradition. The key […]

A Solid Daily Card

I try to do a Tarot card reading for myself every morning. Generally I don’t get around to it. I’m either fighting to get quanta up and off to work, or I am getting ready to go out on an errand, or I get caught up in something else entirely. It wasn’t until this afternoon […]

The World Needs More Quantum Physics

As usually, I’m reading several different books at once. (Many years ago I had a great attention span, but it has all be disappeared now.) One of the books,

Memories of a Deck, Old and New

Several months ago I traded away my Witches Tarot. In a way, I was glad to see it go. I had used it for many years, switching to it from my first deck, the Aquarian Tarot, but I had never really loved it. Recently I had really started to miss my Witches Tarot. The deck […]

Tarot Articles Progress

My pages are finally back in reasonable shape after hitting a bit of a snag yesterday. For some reason, Mozilla turned on the inline CSS option all by its self, and my pages started going all weird. I guess that’s what I get for using a beta program. 🙂 After a lot of work, and […]

My Tarot History

Work has already slowed on the website. I’ve been spending a lot of my time studying the basics of Tarot again. It’s been quite a few years since I did that. I actually began reading Tarot cards back in middle school. I was probably about 13 years old, maybe a little younger. I’ve always been […]
