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 Tarot Card Draw, 15 (16) August 2010: 8 of Pentacles (rev)


Weekly Tarot Card Draw, 15 (16) August 2010: 8 of Pentacles (rev)
Originally uploaded by j.goreham

Late to the party! Here's my weekly tarot card, which I pulled on Monday morning instead of Sunday night.

I pulled the 8 of pentacles, in the reversed position, from the Morgan-Greer Tarot deck. It depicts a man hard at work with a chisel and mallet, carving a disc (pentacle) on his work bench. He is surrounded in his work.

I think that the theme of this week will be hard work and specifically practice. I don't necessarily interpret this card to depict the man surrounded by saleable product, but by practice pieces. The past couple of weeks I have been a bit lazy about my (belly) dance practice, and if I'm going to get what I want out of dance then I gotta step it up. I need to get back into a home practice routine. That said I think this week will be a rough one to reinstall a home practice regime, JWP is home and sister is pretty ready to have her baby! I have lots of distractions, which I think is the reversal here.

Stay tuned for a evening daily card in a bit- this week I'm going to try pulling a card at the end of the day and looking back at my day rather than pulling a card in the morning for the day ahead!
