I traveled for the first time without bringing cards in a looong time and I’ve been missing them this week. This makes me miss them even more! Looking forward to the spread when I get back.
Such a great input, and I read it just after a workshop about quantum computers. The idea of a byte that can be 1, 0 but also both, is actually the way we can look at the leaves: not death, or alive, but both, as superposition. And I pick up Temperance, as the first card of the spread you so generous offered. It was like the perfect card for superposition.
I ordered one of their other decks yesterday. “Am I really going to spend this much on a Tarot deck? Whoops, there it went!” There are definitely days when the thought of using a deck with NO human images in it appeals.
Wow what powerful insight into a card that outsiders tend to fear. Every year brings new seasons, new opportunities and new life and of course death. Death isn't an ending it's simply the beginning of another chapter. Even as humans pass on they do so in stages. Once they transition it too isn't immediate. Nothing happens suddenly in nature - we might not see the pieces leading up (we're not paying attention?) but there is always change going on sometimes louder sometime more muted.
I love this so much! Haven’t done the spread yet, but I’m sure it’s one I’ll hold on to and return to. It reminds me that everything has its role to play and things can turn up again as opportunities for new growth and fresh perspective. Appreciate your work!
Claire, I love how you allow the meaning of your daily card to come to life through your daily experiences. And what a fabulous insight you've garnered from the dead leaves. I have used my tarot deck for eons, but I'm now inspired to pull it out of the drawer and pull my own daily card.
I haven't yet got any tarot cards, I use oracle cards. Tarot always seems complicated to me but you make it sound simple and the art work on the deck you are using is gorgeous 😍. I really need to get myself a deck I like and delve in x
Love the journal prompts here! Thank you. I can often try too hard to get rid of old habits that don’t serve me or I don’t want anymore which sometimes causes tightness/tension as I grapple with the fight, so reframing it into “In what ways do old habits provide mulch for you?” feels so much more positive, and transformative. They can be useful!
Maybe it would make more sense in the context of a reading, but I’m having trouble understanding the 2nd position. “Surrender more to the stragglers” - is this about letting go of the “leaves” or accepting their presence in my life, or…?
More about opening up to what's left, the habits that want to cling on, the remnants. Hope that is clear. But of course you can change or tweak the spread a little and do one that's about letting go.

Hope you enjoy it
Oh I def did! Remembered I had a tarot app and did the spread Thursday night in prep for a ceremony with friends and it was super helpful!
That is so good to hear.

Oh that's magic!
I love the cards from Three Trees Tarot. They are so pretty!

And they feel very real, as if you are there with them. Adam is very talented abd his artwork is beautiful
Indeed

Thank you for this post today
You are welcome. Yes the devil card is sometimes misunderstood

Isn't it so interesting to ponder the cards we pull as we go through our day?
Thank you
Insightful reading, particularly relevant in these times of change.
This also nudges me to get back into using Tarot, to reground, connect, and rekindle creative energies. Thank you!
Reground, reconnect and rekindle. Perfect words to describe tarot
for sure!! Love the deck too, don't you?

I love it when people pull their decks back out the drawer

Ooh, do give it a go.
There’s power and wisdom in the mulching too
Yesssss
Great read to go with my morning coffee! I’ll try this one tonight. Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome

Yes exactly. Thanks for reading this
