Welcome to my tarot blog. I am a tarot beginner, I picked up my Rider-Waite deck shortly after Christmas 2009 after having wanted to learn to read for a long time. I keep this blog mostly for myself, but would welcome any discussion that anybody would like to contribute to my tarot journaling. I am especially interested in the history of Tarot/Tarocchi and would like to learn not only how to read Tarot cards, but Tarot card games as well.

Weekly and Daily Tarot Card Draw, February 15 2010

Normally I try to pull my weekly card on Sunday evening, but we have a pretty busy Sunday- our nephew was playing Timbit hockey at the metro centre during the Halifax Moosehead's game (between 1st and 2nd period) and he also got picked to dress up in a little Mooseheads uniform and got announced as part of the starting lineup! Let me tell you we went BANANAS. Then when we got home, we crashed we were so tired from all that excitement. So without further adieu, here'smy weekly and daily Tarot card draws!

Weekly Card: Queen of Cups. Pulled from Tell-Me Tarot
This morning, the first thing I did when I got to the office, before I poured a cup of coffee, even, was pull my weekly card (otherwise it wasn't going to get done!). From the Tell-Me Tarot deck, I pulled the Queen of Cups. It reads:

"Queen of Cups= Transformation (+)
"Destruction and transformation take place to allow personal growth. Use your intuition to seek change."


Interesting! I am hopeful that I will have a creative week, and I'm already seeing that might be the case- I'm starting this week with two posts on my Tarot blog (eep!) and today, I worked extensively on a creative project at work. I've picked up some new dance music over the weekend and hope it will inspire me not only in my dancing but other activities as well. I'm also hoping to step up my game in regards to my running. Hopefully, I will be an intuitive runner and get some serious miles in this week like I'm hoping! All in all I'm feeling good about this card- the Queen of Cups seems pretty calm balancing a cup in her hand from her throne, which is bobbing in what looks like a slightly tricky sea state. She doesn't seem worried, so neither am I.

Daily Card: 10 of Pentacles (reversed). Pulled from Tell-Me Tarot.
Hmm, after what felt like ages of only getting swords and occasionally wands, I seem to be getting more pentacles and cups in my (daily) readings. The Ten of Pentacles in the Tell-Me Tarot, like most of the cards, has a lot in common with its counterpart from the Rider-Waite Smith deck. In the foreground is an older gentleman and a couple of dogs, further back in the scene (of a city or town) is a young couple with their child (a son). There are pentacles scattered in the image. The card reads:

"Ten of Pentacles = Success (+)
"Happiness, wealth and joy are inherent and long lasting. Good family life. Success in reference to your question."


Well, that sounds all right, doesn't it? I didn't really have a question other than what does the day bring, and I suppose that retrospectively, I did have a successful day. I got mostly everything I planned to do done, including my blogging here to catch up, I went for a run that went really well, I talked the hubby through marinading some steak and later cooked it without cooking the crap out of it, and got an unexpected task which was harder than I thought it would be completed.

Well, there, I'm back up to date now. Sorry for the walls of text, but it seemed daunting to take that many pictures of myself holding Tarot cards in such a short period of time! I think I might change the format of the blog a little bit. I don't think I'll photograph my Daily card draws *every* day, maybe Mondays, Wednesdays, and maybe Fridays and just write up the rest. I think it's probably worthwhile to photograph the weekly ones every time, because they're only done weekly anyway. I definitely need to put in some more time working with spreads. I find it hard to thing of stuff to ask for myself, so I'll se if my co-workers would like to have their cards read at lunch.
