Page Of Swords Reversed: Blowing Hot Air
Sword peeps are equivalent to the astrological air signs of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. They’re the thinkers, talkers and ideas Tarot people. But what happens when that energy is in its infancy and doesn’t come out right? You get the Page Of Swords Reversed.
As in someone who… Continue reading
Ace Of Swords: Finding Clarity!
I’ve been writing novels for decades and never published a thing. In truth, I spent 10 years rewriting one chapter for awhile there and have only gotten serious in the last 5 years or so. But still. Why can’t I close? Continue reading
The Tarot Of Mental Illness Revisited
I promised a lovely lady on my Facebook page ages ago that I’d republish all my medical Tarot blogs. Here’s one I found. Sorry it took so long…
I’ve had way more experience of mental health issues in the last few years than I ever wanted to so I thought it might be time to tackle the Tarot of Mental Illness in more depth. Unsurprisingly the cards involved include those in the last section of Life Lessons Tarot (aka the Major Arcana). Note: These cards might turn up reversed in a reading about mental illness.
The Devil: Living in denial. An inability to face reality. Losing yourself in drugs. Denial that you have a mental illness. Continue reading
Two Of Swords: Home Alone
I had a rare night home alone last night and loved it sick. Long-time readers of this blog will know how much I like my down time. As an introvert I love shutting the doors and locking out the world. Getting some mental space. IMO there’s nothing better than slothing on the couch with complete control of the remote not having to worry about whether everyone’s been fed and the dishes done. I highly recommend it.
Four Of Swords: While I Was Sleeping…
Wowser! While I was sleeping I gained a 100 more FB followers and a few more on this blog. Aw, shucks. And here I was thinking you’d all desert me (fair enough too) because I’ve been so slack. I’d like to think I provide quality content which stands the test of time and this suggests that maybe I do. Thanks for sticking by me through the thick and (very) thin. I had no idea an hour ago that I was about to write a slew of posts, it just happened. And that’s how I want this blog on Tarot cards to be: propelled by intuition. As a good friend of mine said recently, she can always tell when I’m not on fire. I don’t want to let you down by writing when I’m not at my best (although let’s face it, I probably still will from time to time, lol.) I guess I’ll see ya when I see ya.
Nine Of Swords: Making A Mountain Out Of A Molehill
Nine Of Swords: Making a mountain out of a molehill.
I read this slogan on Biddy Tarot’s latest email today and thought it was too good not to pass on. Often you are worrying over nothing with this card. It’s a reminder to chillax. To not let fear rule your life. Easier said than done of course. I reckon meditation is a good antidote to this mindset. Or doing something along those lines. Like reading a good book or exercising, something that takes your mind into a different zone.
Are you a Nine Of Swords worrywart?
The Devil + Two Of Swords: Introverts Don’t Flourish Under Pressure!
So I’m deep in the Year Of The Devil card and feeling the heat baby. Under pressure at work and at home. And I’m finding it difficult to write on this blog (you might have noticed, lol.) The problem is I’m an introvert. A rare species but we do exist. Us introverts need time to ourselves or we become exhausted, unable to perform any but the most basic functions. It’s a fact. A phenomenon. I read this great article today about how introverts write in a different way to extroverts. We can’t just push through, we have to make space in our heads for the words to come. And that’s what I don’t have any of at the moment: head space. Apologies for my slackness but I promise I will write when I can.
Any other introverts out there find it hard to write when they’re tired?
…And I’m Back!
The Tarot Of Elections
It’s the day after the election here in Australia and while most peeps are probably nursing a hangover after celebrating the win or the loss I thought I’d have a look at the Tarot Of Elections.
