Working on it !

8 of pentacles I got this card after I created my blog, and it is so accurate. This synchronocity just amazed me. I enthousiastically decided on the philosophy of this blog, what should be the content of it, dividing the content info big “chunks” and organizing the summary.
I had some trouble fixing all kinds of details: like placing the pictures of the cards where I wanted alongside the text, downsizing the weight of the Jpg, and the widgets almost drove me nuts for a while but I kept on working, not giving up, and being focused on what I wanted to achieve. I then shuffled the cards and decided to pick up 3 cards to represent the “moment”.
The first card was this 8 of Pentacles, the second the Page of Cups, and the third was the Page of Pentacles.

Hours flew by, my heart was so into it, I didn’t even notice … and this 3 cards draw even gave me inspiration on what should be the next posts ! Cheers !

Reading about an event

scythegardenbouquetcrossroadsclouds

The question and the context: “what’s the outcome of that particular day” ?
I pulled those cards after I shuffled the deck. These were the cards to represent her day.
The Garden seemed to be the main card of the draw, as it represented the theme of the day at best.

As planned, she was to attend an event in a class where students were to present their work to a jury, standing in front of everyone (students, teachers, jury).
She was interested on how the presentation would turn out.

The breakdown of the cards
the Garden (main card according to me): the public event, the audience.
The Scythe may represent the sharpness, of the comments, the critical analysis.
The Bouquet is a positive card.
The Crossroads are the alternatives proposed, the choices to be taken. It may also represent the hesitation of the students throughout their presentation.
The Clouds reinforces the hesitations, the confused presentations of the students.

As a conclusion, the people attending the presentation will be positive, willing to help the students with their presentation. Some comments will be sharp and straight to the point, but in order to make things better and eliminate the clutter and the lack of professionalism.

Cards combinations
The Scythe and the Garden : Jurors, Critics
The Garden and the Bouquet : Contentment
The Bouquet and the Crossroads : Opportunities
The Crossroads and the Clouds : extreme judgment, clouded judgment

On a funny note, the Crossraods and the Clouds may also be the very bad weather on that day : it started with a storm, so there !

Reading

anchorcloverRight after developing the main ideas I had for this blog in sections with sub-categories etc … I decided to do a check out reading with my Melle Lenormand deck, basically the question was “Am I on the right track ?”…. I shuffled the cards, divided the deck in 2, and read the cut.
I came up with this combo : the Anchor and the Clover. The Anchor in this context speaks about determination in achieving one’s goal, about perseverance, and planning. The Clover is about hopes and positive outcomes.
Therefore, the combination is translated to “constant growth”, “good fortune”.
I was really pleased, as one may imagine !
The pictures illustrating this post is from the Melle Lenormand Oracle and may be bought on Amazon.com
This book which I purchased is IMHO so far the best book on this Oracle, written by Sylvie Steinbach

The vision of a Tarot/Oracle Reader

Before posting an article on what Tarot can do for you, I wish to share this picture with you.
I believe it represents what a reader is to me, someone who can translate images into a specific vision.
The numbers on the wall are like the numbers on the card and the cards themselves, under a special light direction they reveal a vision of its own. The position of the numbers on the wall are like the position of the cards within a spread, they have their importance, placed differently the final image to be seen would be else ! The light is your intuition, your wisdom and experience ….
I just love this peice of art !
The name of the artist is Kumi Yamashita
Some pictures can also be seen on Fubiz and on E-Sushi as well. Hope you enjoy !

Developping Content


I woke up very early this morning, aroud 5 a.m.; and so between my first and last coffee cup before heading to the door and going to work, I jotted down those ideas on papers. I even had time to do a reading with my Melle Lenormand Cards to check these ideas. I’ll post the reading with the analysis of the reading afterwards.
You may see these ideas by clicking on the tab “Content” up there !
The image illustrating this post (8 of coins) is from a deck Iwish to purchase this month : the Vanessa Tarot deck. (available on Amazon.com)

Setting things up !

Ace of Wands (Crone deck)
Just trying to figure out the details in order to post messages on this blog.
So I guess the Ace of wands form the beautiful Crone deck is indeed appropriate to illustrate this point.
You may view this entire deck at Taroteca
This deck ranks high on my wish list !
