Funtime Friday: Dancing Nana
Yes. Another day, another theme. I’ve decided to dedicate Fridays to posts that are light-hearted. To send us all into the weekend in a happy mood. Yesterday I introduced Throwback Thursday, today it’s Funtime Friday and in a few days it’ll be Spotlight Sunday in which I’ll focus on a card that hasn’t been getting a lot of attention. Just trying out some new ideas for this blog as suggested in The Temperance post earlier this week.
Today I present to you…Dancing Nana. The story goes like this:
Each week a young woman picks up her 88-year-old grandmother and takes her out for a meal. While the granddaughter waits for nana to come out of her house she switches her iPod’s playlist to ‘Golden Oldies’ and winds down the car windows. And then Nana boogies and shakes her way down to the car. The joy on her face whilst dancing is infectious. I hope I have as much joie de vivre as she does when I’m 88.
This puts me in mind of this Tarot card… Continue reading
Throwback Thursday: The Holy Book Of Tarot
I’ve decided to dedicate Thursdays to re-running old posts. Maybe mashed up together or with new information thrown in. Because there are some Tarot stories that deserve to be retold. Because I want to refocus on central themes from time to time. Today is one of those occasions.
One of the reasons I love Tarot cards so much is that they’re deeply meaningful. In particular the group of cards commonly known as The Major Arcana. I refer to them as Life Lessons Tarot because together they read like a book about the core life experiences of a human being. For me this is Tarot’s Holy Book. I’ve divided it up into three volumes and a prologue.

The World: For When Life Feels Joyful!
Well here’s a news flash that got my heart dancing. Forget about politics and shit…
A gigantic herd of dolphins has been spotted off the San Diego coastline. The phenomenon called a ‘super pod’ is about seven miles long and five miles wide. Which is a little bit mind blowing for someone like moi. I get excited when I see one dolphin in the wild let alone 100,000. It’s like Dolphin Convention 2013 out there. Apparently the super pod is is a rare but noted event which takes place at sporadic intervals for no apparent reason. Dolphin experts have just been shaking their heads with embarrassment when asked to please explain this behaviour.
You can view footage of the super pod taken from a tourist boat on my Facebook page or at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZbA421hIhs. The boat captain said he’s never seen anything like it. To quote: ‘They were coming from all directions, you could see them from as far as the eye could see. I’ve seen a lot of stuff out here. But this is the biggest I’ve ever seen, ever.’ When an old sea dog is gob-smacked it stands to reason that the rest of us should stand up and pay attention. Something truly miraculous has occurred. And when you watch the footage I’m sure you’ll agree. There’s something incredibly joyful about watching dolphins at play. Puts me in mind of this Tarot card…
The Tarot Of The Night My Tent Broke
Okay. So I finally make it camping and even work out how to blog from my iPhone and then what happens next? My tent breaks. Sheesh! Talk about beIng tested. Here is the Tarot of The Night My Tent Broke (pictures to be added when I get back home.)
The Tarot Of The Dark Knight Rises!
I finally got around to watching The Dark Knight Rises months after everyone else. Am not a big fan of movie violence so was a bit meh about the action but enjoyed the characters and the plot. Let’s have a look at the Tarot of this movie…
The Secret To Success (Yes, There Is One!)
What I love about Tarot is that although it can be waffly at times (You’re laughing at me right now aren’t you? Cause you think I’m stating the obvious, huh?) it also says some things very clearly. And one of its clearest and most powerful lessons is about what it takes to be successful. Not in the worldly materialistic sense of owning houses and rolling in cash but in the Tarot sense of being who you want to be in the world. And it’s not money or friends or titles or degrees that gets you there (although they can help), it’s something very surprising. Ready, for it? You’ve been waiting all your life to hear this haven’t you? It’s….. Continue reading
