"Curiosity about the unknown has no boundaries. Symbols, images, place and cultures merge. Time slips away. The stars, the cards, the mystic vigil may hold the answers. By shifting the point of view an inner spirit is released. Free to create." - Betye Saar

Apparently when medieval European merchants came across seahorses they thought they were baby dragons. Which makes me want to spend a day as a European merchant thinking, oh yeah if this thing hadn't been caught, who knows how big it would have gotten.

If I had to choose one piece of advice to give someone learning tarot it would be: describe what you see. Talk/write/draw it out. The answers will flow from there.

The rose is a symbol of affection but also protection, inviting close proximity with a beguiling scent, while keeping its distance with a boundary of thorns. Even if you know nothing about planetary-botanical correspondences, you can probably guess that roses are Venusian. 🌹

In readings, I tend not to talk much about the tarot's astrological correspondences, but when I'm pulling apart the layers of a card for my own understanding, tracing a card's root system through the zodiacal decans is always illuminating.

Studying Tarot requires a certain amount of solitude, as you process the card meanings and observe how they reflect on your life. At some point though, being in community with other tarot readers will push your practice in profound ways. Build community into your practice. #Tarotsky

This poem has me lost for words 💔 It captures how grief viscerally fixes us in the present moment, and how we rely on metaphor to make sense of a world in which we no longer know how to live.
