I heart this meme.
It’s been created in response to the current scandal surrounding Facebook which has seen many users ditch the social media platform. In the most damaging controversy to ever hit Facebook it has been accused of allowing another company to harvest personal data to influence the last U.S. election.
So which Tarot cards are involved? Continue reading
I was lucky enough to see Ed Sheeran in concert the other night, with the added bonus of one of my favourite Australian musical acts, Missy Higgins, thrown in. I bought the ticket a couple of hours beforehand on impulse. It was a beautiful Melbourne day, the concert had been getting rave reviews, and I have a soft spot for Missy (even more than Ed).
This led me to wonder about the Tarot of a Music Concert.
Let’s explore that, shall we? Continue reading
I finally got around to watching Westworld. Despite many recommendations from friends, I didn’t like it’s misogynistic overtones. Of course, once I started, I couldn’t stop. Which doesn’t mean it was perfect.
Here are my many thoughts on the Tarot of Westworld.
But beware, spoilers after the cut… Continue reading
We put a lot of importance on ‘telling the truth’ in our society.
In the courtroom we’re asked to ‘tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth’.
As if truth is something definite. Absolute.
But what does Tarot have to say about truth?
The movie Frozen has been an absolute phenomenon.
The World: Its been popular all round the world with boys and girls alike.
Two Of Cups: It’s the story of Continue reading
Whoops! I went on holiday to the beach for five days and was accidentally disconnected from the world. The internet connection on the Gold Coast in Australia leaves a lot to be desired. All the enormous concrete buildings here block the signal. But for some reason it’s started to work now on my last night away. Maybe because it’s been gorgeous today and most peeps are still on their way home from the beach. Or could it be that last night’s thunderstorm cleared the air? I’ll never know. But gosh it’s good to be hooked up to the mainframe again.
Spiritual practice will not eliminate negative emotions. Emotions are part of the palette of life, part of the way consciousness moves. Not only can’t you get rid of them, but you’d feel empty and impoverished if you did. Practice can change your relationship to emotions, so that instead of being swamped by certain feeling states, you can hold them, contain them, see into their essence, and ultimately, use emotions in the service of your liberation.

I read this on Mystic Medusa’s blog today and immediately thought: Hells to the yeah! Too many peeps confuse being a spiritual person with being a good person. Imo they are not the same thing and you can see this clearly in Life Lessons Tarot (aka the Major Arcana).
You can be interested in spirituality as represented by this card… Continue reading
My weekly email from Biddy Tarot has inspired me to look at the angels in Tarot. They are found on Life Lessons (aka Major Arcana) cards which are the most significant ones in the Tarot deck. Each is an archangel i.e. they are serious players in the angelic world, what they have to say is important. So if they turn up in a reading, pay attention!
Following on from yesterday’s post about The Sun I thought I’d sum up the three core beliefs in Life Lessons Tarot (aka the Major Arcana). I call them Tarot’s Holy Trinity. They illustrate why I find Tarot to be such a beautiful and profound (not to mention useful) philosophy.
So sad to hear this news yesterday…
Death: Cory Monteith, one of the stars of the innocuous good-hearted television show Glee, passed away at the too young age of 31. He was found dead in his hotel room presumably of a drug overdose.
Which just goes to show that even if you reach… Continue reading
