My Tarot Journal

My Tarot Journey

I wanted to reconnect with RWS Tarot deck... so after reading a few resource E-books I had been looking at and been given ... I thought I would begin with a Card a Day ... After waking up feeling a bit emotional. with stuff going on... I thought I would start a Tarot Journal....

Each week I will add a card..... this gives me a chance to really study and reflect on what the card means for me at this time as I go through the transformations .....

Each Card will have firstly my personal thoughts and what I see in the card.. Then I will go through and write up all the information from different resources including planetary influences with that card and other cards that connect to it .... and how they all interconnect...

I Found it took quite awhile to research and write up the info.. add the images and then type it up and save as a pdf file which i upload to Onedrive and I will provide a link below .... with an image of the card here ....

This is my own personal journey and I find myself being vulnerable in me putting here and sharing it with you...

Please respect this and understand This is my thoughts.... expressed by me....

24th August, 2018 added a Side Note Journal I will add extra cards that I draw that relate to my own
Personal journey...

16th June, 2019,
It seems a long time since I wrote in here online, I have been working in a physical journal with a variety of cards .. maybe I need to spend some time adding some of the cards to here ...

Decks I have been working with as of late :

To name just a few of the decks ...
I have since been working also with The First edition of The Mary-El Tarot, and The Chakra Wisdom Tarot as of late, delving deeper into the cards and what they mean ....

With the Native American Tarot I have been doing #TheFoolsJourneychallenge .. looking deeper into the Fool's Journey and how this card combines with other cards in a reading ... I am now going to include the Shamanic Medicine Oracle Cards into the Fool's journey...
I have done some videos on You Tube - to see more check out The Link on the Welcome Page for more details ...

09th April, 2019
I have been physically looking at cards but have not done alot of cards for myself overall .. I have let things slide a little .... for personal readings ....

I received Serafina's Modern Tarot and have been adding vids and looking at this deck overall
after for my Birthday reflecting on The Starman tarot ( which I have done a review on )

Here is Today's reflective Message working with Serafina's Modern Tarot ... Here

2nd Part of the Reading To See more

24th February, 2019

Archeon Tarot ...
Three of Cups ...
A Woman sits naked to one side revealing a little of herself. A Raven sits on her hand as she turns towards You. A Full Moon in the background.. 3 Cups, Chalices infront bottom left corner

LWB
A Crow Whispers secrets in the Shadow of the Moon
Merriment, joy, success, victory, good fortune, pregnancy ...

This card is very different than RWS type decks .. I look at the card and I see reflection, contemplation, meditation, lunar energies, a sense of A message of the Night.. of the Shadows...
There is expansion, and growth as a vulnerability is revealed... the bare essentials are shared ....

Three of Cups for me shows celebration, a sense of a party with like-minded Souls.. Sharing a moment that has been anticipated over time.

30th January, 2019...
I have been working through my physical Tarot Journal at home quietly ... with a few oracle decks ..as well as a few of my physical Tarot decks ...
Today I asked Which card do I meditate on for today?

Tarot of Mermaids.... 2 of Pentacles...
This card speaks of juggling, being stretched in different directions, decisions to be made...
Times can feel overwhelming, too much, stressful, maybe you feel like a rubber band being stretched before it breaks? What can you do to stop feeling this way? What can you let go from your life, remove from the daily stresses? What is not so important?

14th November, 2018
Looking at the Enchanted Tarot and a card for reflection each day ... ..
12th. 13th and 14th so far ...

4th November, 2018
I have been working with pen and paper for awhile.... in my own physical journals as I look at The Epic Tarot and also Circle of Life Tarot (new deck purchased yet to truly delve deep into this deck )

Today I decided to look at the Gypsy Witch cards- I created An Antique styled Gypsy Witch cards for myself and looked at the Large Spread that uses all of the cards -
See HERE for details re the spread and the cards, my thoughts on what each card means in depth with the other cards around it ...

Gypsy Witch Spread that uses All The cards and the cards I made for myself ...

28th October, 2018
I have been working through the last card I got
The 8 of Cups from the reflections deck and have made some changes, huge changes within my journey .... Unexpectedly things may have given me new possibilities, knowing nothing is set in Stone I asked a question about an amazing Guy- just to see where the possibilities lie, find my discovery with today's reading from The Lover's Path Tarot ... Working from the LWB discovering what the author inspired to be the meanings of each of the cards we discover something may lead to something magickal , but yet we know nothing is set in stone and transformation, changes is always on horizon...

We begin with the Bottom Card - The Querant (that would be me) Four of Cups
Yes I am dissatisfied with my lot, I want something more ... something Spiritual...

Him- Ten of Disks, He seems like a person who has everything together, riches on many levels within his journey, he offers a sense of everything coming together .... (not necessarily money I understand that, there seems to be more to him beyond the surface .A Richness within his Soul .....)

The Relationship itself-Justice - shows a possibility of it being possible but yet I must have patience, have confidence in the relationship, but not to push with hurried actions ...
Let it flow on it's own merit .... Find Balance ...Also a sense of letting him come to me in his own time ....

Additional Wisdom- Merlin, Magic this card speaks about going beyond perceived limitations, being authentic, being magical on many levels, It also speaks of a need to have positive changes within selves .. to be renewed and full of vigor .... within the relationship ...

So Overall This relationship is possible, and it could be a positive one at that ... but it is about taking one step at a time ... There could be more that what is shown on the surface .... DO NOT RUSH THIS ON ANY LEVEL>>>> (note to self - lol)

17th October, 2018
It feels as Though I have not added here for awhile ....
I have been learning some of the decks through my handwritten journals, expanding the knowledge of some of my Oracle decks I have in my Collection ...
Today though I wanted to explore Reflections Tarot
and drew the 8 of Cups- discussed further Here

Today I thought about Motherpeace Tarot and pulling a card in regards to some thoughts .. I ended up with Nine cards so ended up with a new Post re this reading ...
TO know more about what I think the cards mean for me .... take a Closer look HERE >>>

Today; 17th September, 2018-
I ask a question in regards to a thought with X...... He tells me he Loves me .. and he does not just say it once but several and with passion.... it blows me away , after all the years I have known him, he has scooted around saying those words... never truly admitting it to himself let alone me ... but today begins anew ...with his ability to finally speak aloud exactly how he truly feels ...

The Reading - The Lover's Path Tarot
The Overall message seems to speak of a union, a partnership that is balanced, brings rewards, benefits, blessings, riches and wealth on many levels ... a relationship, a union that is intense with passion..... bringing choices needing to be made ....

The Cards- Two of Cups - Relationship, union, partnership, give and take ...
Eight of Coins- Rewards, benefits, working with profit given , skills and talents bring it's own benefits, it's own rewards....
Love - Choices, Union, partnership, marriage, relationship, balance, yin- yang, opposites, polarity ... Duality.... harmony, gifts.

Some of the keywords for these cards...

UPDATE: Completed basic study of Initiatory Tarot of the Golden Dawn
My Thoughts and opinions re this deck, some look into The Fool and further info re this card..
Have spent a lot of time delving deep into this deck ... with my Journal .... (exercise books - physical with paper and pen ) ... as I have with all Deck reviews... working with a new deck like this enables a connection with the artwork ....

28th August, 2018
I know It may seem as Though I have not been doing much in my Tarot journal as late ... But I have also been working through Runes, Cartomancy, Lenormand, Kipper and Tarot decks ... as in Tarot de Marseille, Epic Tarot and Fairy Lights Tarot, have looked a little at the Tarot of Metamorphosis and now working with Initiatory Tarot of the Golden Dawn ...

Check out the Deck Reviews for details about these Decks .....

16th July, 2018 ...
What do I need to know re ... My Relationship with X ?

Tarot of Fire

4 of Chalice
Melancholy, Sadness, boredom, Missing the bigger picture, not being aware of what lies around you...

XVIII The Moon
Reflective, Phase of Cycle, Enemies, loyalty, Lunar energies

XV The Devil
Addiction, old patterns, chained .... Are you ready to break free?

Overall am I not seeing the bigger picture? Is it a sense of an old enemy chaining me to the Past?

14th July, 2018 ....
I have been adding cards to the Tree of life Tarot and Medicine Woman Tarot ...
Today I asked about what I needed to know for me personally about my life overall .....

and using RWS
I used Photoscape to modify this deck with Coloured pencil and Antique #1

MY Quick Thought ....
At a crossroads on some level ... as I awaken an inner passion, I reflect on the past with nostalgia, This truly is about my Faith, my beliefs.... knowing that it will all come together with hope .......

I will reflect on these cards over the day and when I can will return and add my thoughts about each card on a deeper level ...I added some Info here - Deeper Thoughts ....

10th July, 2018
UPDATED
Tree of Life Tarot
Began exploring this deck with IV The Emperor

Started to look deeper into Medicine Woman Tarot (the review of this deck)

Page two begins the exploration of the This card ...

9th July, 2018 ..
Today's reading reflecting on where I am at this time with the Vision Quest Tarot ...
This deck has a Native American Theme.... each card also has a keyword .. a word to jumpstart your thoughts re this card and it's meaning to your own situation ...

IV Grandfather
He shares with us a message of being in control of your own journey, a ruler, an authoritative... a sense of reflecting on what you have achieved... the experiences of your own wisdom.. the knowledge gained from those experiences and how they can be shared ....

Nine of Earth
Accumulation- a sense of what you have gathered in your own journey, what have you learnt ? what has nourished your Soul....your health and finances, a sense of security within. What perspective have you gathered on your experiences of your own pathway?

XIV Integration
How have you experienced this merging within your path? How have you integrated your lessons, your understandings, beliefs? A sense of knowing?

Quick Summary ..
Today I reflect on my past and how I am bringing that forward on my journey.... what have I learnt and understood from my past? How have I integrated that into my present moment?

Where has the time gone?

It is already the 3rd July, 2018

We begin this journey with the Celtici Tarrochi ....

The Five of Pentacles

this journey begins with being led out of the cold, out of the darkness that has been holding on to me at this time ... This means it is up to me where I take myself at this time ...

The Queen of Swords

I feel I am being told to look at the truth, I need to be quite harsh with myself ...

Four of Pentacles

it seems I have been holding onto what is not good for me ... I may need to actually start saving and not spending so much money ... start putting some money aside... stop wanting what I want not what I need.... they are luxuries really not necessities ...

Moving towards the end of May .
May 28th 2018-
Romani Method of working with Playing Cards ...
I am working on learning How to read playing cards using An Old Romani Method of meanings ...

10th May-
Personal Question answered by the Pagan Lenormand

Click on the Link to read my thoughts ...

May 2018 ...

I thought I might look at the Tree of Life Tarot and explore a little more in depth the Kabbalah aspects of each Major Arcana ....

Today begin with the Universe card number 21 ...
End of an Era, saying farewell, Goodbye to the old cycle, phases and making way for the new paths to be walked upon..

Lies on the path of Yesod and Malkuth ...

This pathway speaks of walking from Foundations to into the Physical World (Kingdom) .. Yesod translates spiritual concepts into action.. through reflection and illumination. Preparation is made before completion of Manifestation .. through Malkuth we see the creation of all life, all ideas... Perceptions take form, a tangible form and density of all that is ...

Saturn- Ambition, authority, status and discipline ...

Lessons, Teachings and Responsibilities..

Hebrew Letter Tau- meaning Cross

Mark, Sign, Signal, Monument ...

Is this a sign, something monumental is happening,

This is a signal to something to leave behind.... to say farewell ...

13th January
XI Justice

The Guardian of Order….

Justice guards the laws of the universe. The outcome of her actions is based mainly on what you put onto the scales. The laws are neutral, your actions carry flavour of the consequences .

Legalities, the truth prevails even if we do not agree… balance, communication…integrity, honesty….

12th January, 2018

3 Spheres

The Sphere elevated- working together we can create something great. Recognized for your talents… How do you choose to use them at this time …

8 Spheres

The Sphere Entangled- You are about to face something that requires patience and finesse… This is about being slow and steady, one step at a time.. Using your skills to move forward on this pathway…. A small part of your journey…. Part of the adventure…

Summary

As you are recognized for your talent, your skill you must use them to move forward slowly and steady.. This is not about hurrying the process but one step at a time …

Working with others may require you to be patient at this time…. Understanding ….

January 9th, 2018

Have purchased a new deck Epic Tarot ....

1st Card drawn today ...
5 Swords

Edge of awareness… ideas, plans . So ready to fly but unsure,. Conflicts, struggles of the mind ….

Being aware mentally of what you have left behind ….

Trying to find your absolute truth…. Through all the chaos.. Needing to find a stillness, be prepared …..

Now We Begin a New Month and A New Deck

Had a total break and did some reflection and contemplation, taking care of me ...

December 7th

Sacred Fractal Tarot (one of my decks)

King of Cups-

A man that is caring, loving, gentle in nature....A Man who gives a lot of himself emotionally, maturely....

Queen of Pentacles

A Mature Woman that is grounded, earthy... could think about material aspects of life, health also maybe important on many levels ...

Knight of Cups-

Youthful Man, looks ahead, stops and looks to find the right way.. caring, not rushing ahead but gently does it... Feels with the heart... Feels things easily...

Overall these cards speak of being caring for self, loving... make sure health is taken care of.. make sure the way ahead is full of love... look ahead and feel your way through. do not rush...

October-2017

I have given myself time to reflect on myself without The Daily Tarot Reading for myself..

October has been a very personal month for myself.. every now and then self-reflection without the cards can also give some major clarity in different areas of my life... I have found it very important for me..

Celestial Tarot This will be a new month with fresh perspectives...

VIII Pentacles Thoughts from other Sources

Card of the Day
14/07/2017

V Pentacles..
This card when you look at it , you get the feeling someone is leading someone else out of the cold... but I feel for me that the someone is actually me, only I can lead myself into where I want to be... It is up to me where I am headed.... What I am going to do to overcome the challenges and the struggles, the inner conflict.....

Card Of the Day - July- 2017

V Swords...

With this Card I feel There is a conflict with another person... but that other person is actually my Mind ... My thoughts and own opinions... I stir the trouble within .... My thoughts affect my inner self .... The self chatter, the mental chatter argues with myself ...
This is about my own mental struggles and challenges at this time ...

Card of The Day 29/06/2017
