Getting Wyrd with Tarot ~ 2/13 A Call to Action.

 Today he rears his head, the Shadowscapes Knight of Swords, which has come to mean to me lately work related leadership, setting direction, and after the weekend, he's a welcome companion in several challenging communications I have chosen to deliver tomorrow based upon his ride. Sword drawn, Monday begins with a charge! 

The…

Getting Wyrd with Tarot 2-8 ~ Nurture Time

The Shadowscapes Queen of Pentacles is stunning to me,  powerful yet kind, she's offering a token, a little leaf as a reminder that she is there and willing to lend her support.  

Today would be a great day to honor her by lending a little energy/spirit boost to others whom you admire, or appreciate.   There are quite a few authors and creators whom I feel very grateful for and today is going…

Getting Wyrd with the Tarot~ eyes on the horizon

This, to me, is a very militaristic card, sentinels posed on the border, alert.  The leader has his mount in check, head tucked back, he's not charging ahead, he's waiting..vigilant, keeping his power in reserve.  Today's draw is the 9 of wands from the Shadowscapes Tarot.

Since I am currently reading …

Getting Wyrd with the Tarot 2-3 ~ New Horizons.

Today we see the Three of wands from the Shadowscapes Tarot and wow, the trip from this pinnacle looks daunting.  She's standing there, the way marked by the staves of those who have passed before,  looking off into the distance, and it looks quite a journey.  New Horizons await, but man that horizon is a loooooong way off...

 But what I always…

Getting Wyrd with Tarot 2-1~ Groundhog Free!

I admit this card confused me.  The Wyrd, the web of fate that intertwines all things in Anglo Saxon cosmology is both fixed (fate happens) and mutable in that we can shape it, influence it and participate in the weaving of the web.   Today, the draw was the Knight of Swords from Shadowscapes Tarot …

Getting Wyrd With the Tarot 1-29 ~ Adventure!

Today, Tarot brings us the Shadowscapes Fool card, and what a wonderful message it is, on what feels like a bright spring day in Nova.  The Robins are back, there are all sorts of little songbirds in the bushes, the sun shines... and it's easy for one's spirit to adopt the pose in the card.…

Getting Wyrd With the Tarot 1-28 ~ Lonely Swans.

Always a gut twisting card when it shows up from this deck, todays draw is the Three of Swords. 

 I am always taken by the fact that there are three different swords, the poor swan has known betrayal from more than one friend, and yet still tries to raise her head. 

  

 It reminds me not of anyone specific, but everyone in general who is…

Getting Wyrd with Tarot 1-27

The draw today is the very "ent"-ish looking Hierophant from the Shadowscapes Tarot.  On his hand rests  little salamander asking a very big question.  I am greatfull for a less "Catholic" Hierpohant, one who seems to be more of a guide than a doctrinaire.   He's dispensing wisdom, not dogma.

Today is a day for Sage!  Smudge, cook, carry a little…

Getting Wyrd with Tarot 1-25

  Today's card is one of my favorite "Sun" cards.

His hand looks like he's feeding the crowd of colorful birds, so that's what today is about, feeding the neighborhood birds (and likely squirrels).  Also suggestive of greeting the sunrise in a special…

Getting Wyrd with Tarot 1-24

Wyrd (sounds like wierd) is a concept the Anglo-Saxon’s used for fate, or destiny, or that which happens.  To some it means “to turn”, the continuous flow of events that mark our moments.  Wyrd is built in the past, expressed in the moment and becomes our future.


As my love affair with the Tarot…

The Scent of Stones.

I have been thinking of magic today, especially magic of scent and the element of air, so I was cruising around different places and came across a perfume blog that I found simply incredible, the author is a little wordy, but the perfumer he was interviewing was fascinating, wanted to share some of it with you...



The author has been commenting on the many trays of precious stones, and mannequins draped with jewelry in the perfumers work room…
