4 of Cups – Luxury
Luxury is most enjoyed in small doses. Too much of a good thing can make us sick! How can we indulge in this joyous feeling without overdosing? Our level of enjoyment in something is often directly related to how little we actually get to enjoy it. As we become accustomed to anything, it can lose it’s …
3 Card Reading Body Mind Soul
Here is a simple 3 card spread that I have morphed, adapted and inspired from Angeles Arrien’s The Tarot Handbook. The spread describes aspects of body, mind and soul. Body relates to all things of the physical world. How is the body expressing itself in the world? How do other bodies relate to this body? Is there …
2 of Disks – Bend or Break?
I just went to yoga class this morning, and was reminded of the fundamental importance of both strength and flexibility. How easily can I bend, and how strong am I in my ability to hold that posture.? Its good to be strong, its important to be flexible. One without the other is just not enough. …
Queen of Disks – Feelin’ Horny!
The first thing I notice about this gorgeous card is that this queen has a pair of the nicest horns I have ever seen on a woman! Horny. It’s an interesting word, supposedly originally referring to the masculine genitalia in full bloom. As in “He’s got a horn!”. But also, I have always imagined that it …
Knight of Wands – On Fire for Change!
On the heels of the Queen of Wands (of the last post) rides the Knight of Wands! Here is the dude that is man enough to match the Queen of Pussy Power (I mean Wands). What makes him her match? Here is a masculine character that is not afraid. He faces his own demons with …
Queen of Wands – True Pussy Power!
Here is a classic representation of Feminine Power as worldly power. Radiant, graceful, natural and confident. Look how she sits, with her legs firmly planted, and separated. She cannot be swayed. The cat sits perfectly between her open legs and I believe this card represents true Pussy Power! Wands represent the element of fire. Fire is creativity, inspiration, …
6 of Disks – Success
In our culture, there is so much searching for this deep feeling of inner satisfaction that we call “success”. Why? Because our culture has defined success quite incorrectly, as a game in which the acquisition of money and status becomes the key focus on our quest for inner satisfaction. While sitting in my old but reliable …
Knight of Disks
Oh, Baby. Such a good man. The Knight of Disks. We often hear of Mother Earth or Mother Nature, well, this guy could be referred to as Father Earth, or even Father Nature. He is not holding a weapon, it is actually a threshing tool. His helmet is thrown back as he is not concerned …
5 of Swords – Defeat
As a Tarot Reader, I am learning how to use the energy of the cards that point to some of the most frightening aspects of our psyche. The best way I know how to do this is to use my own Shadow work as a pathway into these darkest of places. Defeat. It’s a terrifying …
