When I was asked to review Your Tarot Guide, my first thought was oh my gosh, how many beginner tarot guides do we possibly need?? While I don’t know the answer to that question, certainly the many different styles and suggestions in beginner texts will work for some and not so much for others. I…
[…] we confess that we have (for the benefit of those with eyes to see and ears to hear) woven within the tapestry of our tale what we consider to be serious spiritual observations, genuine secrets of high magic, tidbits of forbidden knowledge, and a generous serving of arcane wisdom – all designed to subliminally…
As soon as I was given access to this website I knew I was going to have lots of fun entering cards and spreads and reviewing what came out of the other end. As someone who has kept spreadsheet records of cards pulled for over ten years, and who manipulates these to see patterns, frequencies…
