There are no rules in Tarot
When I teach a Tarot Class, I get asked about how we obtain our decks. Someone usually asks, it is true you have to be gifted your first deck? Well, no, that is a myth. I bought all my own decks and freaked out my tax accountant when I went pro because I could now… Read more »
Ending the old Year
My first inclination was writing a blog entry about starting new things. An aces entry. But I think this year we need to start with what we are done with in the old year before we begin again. So instead of Aces, I will discuss 10s. 10s in Tarot are endings. Some are happy, 10… Read more »
