I’ve written before about how Tarot contains a holy book that charts the journey of a human soul through all the stages and experiences of life. I call these cards Life Lessons Tarot. But they’re better known as the Major Arcana.
These lessons are divided into three parts. We’ve already looked at the first part: Childhood. The second part covers adulthood. As follows… Continue reading
It took a few weeks for me to feel the New Year’s vibe this year. Usually I rock a solid introvert theme on this night. I stay home and reflect on the year ahead. Maybe do a Tarot spread if I’m feeling that way inclined. But for the first time ever I went down to my hometown’s waterfront and watched the pretty lights explode. I’ve lived here for over 20 years so I figured I should join the mainstream at least once. And this year was it. My brain was still fried from 2017 overload so I wasn’t in a reflecting kinda zone anyways.
Most of the time some kind of motto or plan about the year ahead comes to me in advance, which I then focus on manifesting during New Year’s Eve. Obs that didn’t happen this year. Rather, a thought has slowly crystallised over the last week or so (better late than never!) And it’s this: Evolution rather than revolution.
Let’s unpack that Tarot style, shall we… Continue reading
I attended the Women’s March in Melbourne this afternoon. The first of many being held around the world in support of the Women’s Marches in the U.S. tomorrow. Six thousand of us turned up. Not a shabby turnout for a sunny weekend day during summer.
I’m not a regular political activist. I don’t join marches at the drop of a hat. So I want to explore the Tarot of what I experienced… Continue reading
I’ve just finished mainlining series two of ‘The Walking Dead’. Seeing as how I can’t get those zombies out of my head I thought we might explore the Tarot of this television show.
I was pondering the trifecta today of the Wheel Of Fortune, Justice and Hanged Man cards with a friend. These three cards are found in the middle of Life Lessons Tarot (aka the Major Arcana), the dead-set heavyweight players of the Tarot deck.
We were discussing the ramifications of a big move she made after much consideration to another town when she had Justice as her Tarot-card-of-the-year i.e. Now in her Hanged Man year she’s waiting around trying to get a job and regretting moving at all.
It suddenly struck me Continue reading
A Writer. One who finds ways to talk about the unseen.
I read this definition today on a post from the wonderful folk at Writers Unboxed. It’s probably why it’s taking me so long to finish my first novel. Wrestling the invisible to the ground is a tricky business, lol.
When the Justice card turns up in a reading you know that whatever situation you’re dealing with you need to approach it rationally. This is not the time to let your emotions carry you away. Think about the pros and the cons. Write them down. Weigh them up. Make a decision based on the facts. Ignore your feelings. The Justice card is like a big flashing neon sign that reads: Whatever you do, be rational!
It’s important to not just look at Tarot cards in isolation. Examining the similarities and differences between Tarot cards helps you understand them better.
Two cards that seem to cover similar concepts are Justice and Judgement.
Justice: A woman sits in a chair holding a Continue reading
On it’s best day the Justice card represents karma. Receiving your just desserts. The kind of justice you find in a superhero universe where wrongs are righted by a sort of divine intervention.
I’ve just come back from seeing the latest Continue reading
I’ve been watching the reality TV show ‘The Voice’ on Australian TV and to my mind it epitomises the Justice card in action. So far there have been two rounds of this show.
In the first ‘Audition’ round contestants Continue reading
