Tarot and Me

Three Hares

Three Hares

My time with tarot started in the early 80s in a Goth-phase when someone bought me the Thoth deck for my 18th birthday, I liked it but it never really seemed to fit.

Three years later I was reading tarot on The Mound during the Edinburgh Festival using the Thoth deck when a friend came with a new deck and told me that she felt this was much more me. This was the Sacred Rose Tarot and I’ve used this deck on and off since 1985 now and I feel a really good, deep connection with it.

During that period I was also reading palms, runes, astrology charts, and I-Ching, though over the years I’ve only really kept on the tarot as it seemed the most popular with family, friends, and the occasional client.

I’ve been using The Sacred Rose Tarot deck for about 38 years now and feel I really know it but I wanted to experiment with a few other decks and we all know how that goes… let’s start a new collection!

I’ll be writing about returning to my old witchy ways and exploring this pathway, there will be bits about everything that comes across my mind but it will mainly be tarot. There will be readings, explorations of different decks, book and deck reviews, and more.

First thing I’ll be doing is collecting old posts from other blogs and getting these all set up here. (mainly done)

You can also commission me for a reading on my Ko-Fi, and watch my Instagram for when I do a single card draw for myself.
