Daily Draw: the Star - November 28, 2009

When you wish upon a Star....

This is a great card for a daily draw! It's more or less telling me that my dreams will come true, my hard work will be rewarded.

Which is good to hear. I didn't get a daily draw yesterday because we were shopping, and believe me, my dreams *did* come true. ;)

NOTE: You may have noticed that I'm using the RWS images. I've said before that I'm using the Golden Tarot, but I know that the author has had issues with copyright infringement, and I don't want to make things worse than they already are. For that reason, I'm going to just stick to the RWS, which are in the public domain.

Daily Draw: the Sun - November 26, 2009

The Sun is a good card! It means spiritual and material prosperity! I'm pretty thrilled to see it in my daily draw.

Sadly, it's a pretty one sided card, it doesn't say much of anything else. Good things are on the horizon, and that's about it.

That being said, happy Thanksgiving! Anyone who reads my blog, let me know, what are you thankful for?

Daily Draw: Four of Wands - November 24, 2009

This is a really, really positive, good card. Like, it's one of those (like the Star) that really just don't have many negative meanings.

It's also not a card that Kat Black gives a parable or saying on, so I'm just going to tell you what this card means for me. Whatever you've been working hard on, will come to fruition. Things like domestic partnership, good harvest, etc. The other thing that this card guarantees, is a fruitful social, family, and love life.

Tomorrow'll be my last day before I go off for Thanksgiving break, so this is a card that I really like to see. Let me know about your day tomorrow :)

The Golden Tarot: First Impressions and a Little Reading

Hello all! Me again!

I just recieved my Golden Tarot (is it bad that I considered skiving off school today so I could play with my new cards? God, I'm like a kid in a toy store). And I've gotta say, that this deck is fabulous! When I first opened my box and picked it up, I got a little nervous. A lot of the reviews on Amazon ranted about how thick the cards were, or that they were too heavy, and I worried that this was true. Pfft, not so! The deck is a bit more heavy than most, but I actually like it, it'll hold up over time.

So I shuffled them a bit and just in general investigated them, and something I noticed was that they do stick together a bit. That's alright, I'll just make sure to get them good and broke in before I try to do any readings for friends with them.

Some cards that really stick out to me, the Hermit, the Moon, the High Priestess, Death, Nine of Cups, the Seven of Coins, the Queen of Coins, the Queen of Wands, and the Knight of Cups. I especially liked the direction she chose for Death, it's not the traditional personification of death, but rather someone actually dieing, which for me, illustrates the idea of "change" rather than actual death.

I decided to ask the deck "how will you work for me?" I drew the two of cups, signifying the successful balancing of conflicting priorities, which applies really well to my life and the tarot right now. I can see this deck and me having a very successful and long relationship together. :)
