Daily draw (4/4/12): Hunting

Posted on April 5, 2012 by

Something Sweet; the Joie de Vivre Tarot

Posted on November 17, 2011 by

And now for something lighter, frothier, prettier and freshly unhistoric. I have been reading about Etteillas all week and delving into Papus, Huson, Dekker, Depaulis &c and then something pastel and “feel good” dropped into my mail box – as if by parachute – … Continue reading →

Posted on November 3, 2011 by

I have long thought of this deck as one of the most beautiful tarot decks ever created. Then I ask myself, if that’s the case, why don’t I use it every day? Maybe it’s because too much of a good … Continue reading →

Fantastical Creatures Tarot

Posted on September 11, 2011 by

As a child, I was always fascinated by fabulous animals (fabulous in the older sense of the word; mysterious, out of this world, unbelievable). I remember a TV programme there used to be in the late 1970s with this title. It was aimed … Continue reading →
