Tarot for the Week 7/25 to 7/31

It's been a while since the tarotscopes have been posted but it's time for them to come back and I thought we'd get back into the swing of things by looking to see what the cards have to say for this week.  Next week you can bet that there will be tarotscopes for the month of August posted too!  In honor of the Gaian Tarot be released to the masses by Llewellyn in September, I'm going to be doing all the tarotscopes between now and the deck release with my collector's edition Gaian Tarot.  As anyone who's been following the tarotscopes knows, I love this deck and it's one of my absolute favorites in the last few years. I haven't had such an instant connection to a deck in a long time and it's one of the few "lighter" decks (as opposed to things like the Bohemian Gothic Tarot) that I have developed such a strong connection to.  Be sure to check out the Gaian Tarot website and pre-order the deck from Amazon!  It's fantastic.

Tarot for the Week 6/13 to 6/19

This week's Tarot for the Week post is being done with a new deck.  And what a surprise that must be for some.  :)  I did acquire a new deck last week, one that I was very excited to get.  It's The Wildwood Tarot by Mark Ryan and John Matthews with the wonderful art of Will Worthington.  There are four other decks that he's done art for, all of which I have and all of which I really love...The Green Man Tree Oracle, The Druid Animal Oracle, The Druid Plant Oracle, and a favorite of many Pagan and Wiccan readers, The Druid Craft Tarot.  This is another wonderful deck with his Celtic themed art and the book features some fantastic wisdom by Mark Ryan and John Matthews.

When I first pulled the cards and looked at them I read their descriptions and interpretations in the book.  The art is very unique and the way these cards tell the stories involves deeper spiritual symbolism like their connections to the Wheel of the Year and things like that.  After reading reading the descriptions I then moved into actually looking at and interpreting the cards and found that the messages coming through for me were somewhat different and skewed to the meanings in the book.  Really a very interesting deck!

Tarot for the Week 5/30 to 6/5

Again this week's Tarot for the Week is coming to you via the Bohemian Gothic Tarot.  This week's reading is going to be a little bit of a quick one.  When I was pulling the cards the whole thing seemed to feel quick and rushed so I'm going to honor that urgency by trying to not be too overly wordy with this reading.  We do have Tarotscopes of June coming this week too, so you'll see that soon as well. 

Tarot for the Week 5/23 to 5/29

This week's Tarot for the Week reading is being done with a deck that I love so much and that is in my top five favorite decks of all time; the Bohemian Gothic Tarot.  It's a very dark deck and it's one that I don't really read with for others too often because I find a lot of people that don't have a taste for the darker side don't fully appreciate or understand.  And then I have moments when I have this desperate need to make people come out of their shell in a session and get them to maybe confront something. This is that kind of deck; the imagery is very evocative and if certain cards fall in certain places in a reading it can be quite a powerful wake up call.  I have the first and second editions of these cards, the only deck I've ever done that with (though I do have the collectors edition of the Gaian Tarot and I plan to get the standard edition when it comes out this fall).  You can find out more about the Bohemian Gothic Tarot here. 

Tarot for the Week 5/16 to 5/22

This week's tarot for the week read is being done with a deck that I have wanted for a long time and was finally able to get a copy of. And for you tarot people you're going to laugh when I tell you what deck it is...lol.  The Hanson-Roberts Tarot.  Yes, it's been a deck I've wanted for years and I've never been able to get a hold of a copy for one reason or another.  For a long time it was because I couldn't find a copy in a shop or anything and then I tried to order it, twice, from Amazon and both times in the process of waiting for the deck to come I end up getting an email saying that the deck is out of stock.  Finally I was able to get a copy last week and I have to say, this is my new favorite travel deck.  It's the perfect size to take along in a purse to have a deck at all times and it's such a great RWS clone.  So I wanted to use this deck for our reading for this week. 

Tarot for the Week 5/9 to 5/15

We're back for another Tarot for the Week reading and we're also back to reading with the Tarot of the Sidhe.  Tarot of the Sidhe card posts are going to be coming back later this week as well.  I've been doing a lot of campaigning for this deck lately to those looking for something a little different.  This week's reading I thought I would do a little differently.  Something that I love about these cards and the book that comes with them is that rather than giving explanations of the individual minors you have little rhymes that provide the message followed by your usual keywords.  I thought that I would share those rhymes and then give an interpretation of the reading. 

Tarot for the Week 4/25 to 5/1

Once again we're looking at the energy for this week with the help of the the Tarot of Sidhe once again. It seems especially fitting to work with this deck this week since Beltane will be Saturday through Sunday.  As I was getting ready to do the cards for this week I was starting to get this feeling like something is just hanging in the air this week.  It could be that it's that thinning of the veil as we head to Beltane or it could be something else.  The cards are certainly showing some interesting things...

Tarot for the Week 4/18 to 4/24

For these week we have some pretty strong cards that are giving some pretty clear messages, much like we had this past week.  The thing that's interesting to me is the change of the overall message as we head out to the tail end of a crazy Mercury Retrograde.  It looks like things are going to calm down and begin to be more solid and more positive.

Tarot for the Week 4/11 to 4/17

This week is one of those week's where the reading is so simple and cut and dry that you have to acknowledge and love the directness of the cards.  So I'm not going to give a lot of lead up to the reading and we'll get right down to it.  Once again I'm using the Tarot of the Sidhe for our reading this week.  Let's see what we have for the week.

Tarot for the Week 4/4 to 4/10

It was quite interesting to me to find that while struggling through the to April tarotscopes I had to change decks in order to feel any sense of clarity or direction in what I was doing, but when I sat down to do this post, starting with my Tarot of Dreams deck, I heard a very distinct "NO!  Other one" from one of my guides.  So I picked the Tarot of Sidhe deck back up and started to shuffle and, sure enough, the fuzzy feeling that had been there all weekend with the deck was gone.  I guess that means that we're back on track!  Here is this week's tarot reading...

Tarot for the Week 3/28 to 4/3

As we have been, this week's tarot reading is done with the Tarot of the Sidhe and once again we see some cards that have been popping up quite a bit back for another visit.  It's always interesting to me to see cards come up again and again in these weekly readings but it's even more interesting to see how they rearrange themselves and how they tell different stories each time they come up.  This week is no exception to that idea; these repeat visitors have some different things to talk about than they have in past weeks. 

Tarot for the Week 3/21 to 3/27

This week's cards from the Tarot of the Sidhe show a definite change in things from the last two weeks.  The energy from the last couple of weeks have had a very outward feeling.  Things seemed to be very focused a little bit more on inward things, personal direction and growth.  It makes sense to me with yesterday being Ostara or the Spring Equinox.  There was the struggle to break free and bloom in the last few weeks and now it'll be time to start laying the ground work for real growth.

Tarot for the Week 3/14 to 3/20

This week's tarot reading is an interesting one.  When shuffling the cards I got a sense of things not being quite resolved from some of the craziness of last week's reading.  In fact, Warrior Two, which was the end of the week last week is back again this week.  Interestingly also as the end of the week card.
