I simultaneously love and hate questions like this. On one hand, it makes you evaluate everything and look at what’s really important to you. On the other hand, thinking of letting things go sucks. But when I looked at my decks, I found that the choices were easier than I thought they would be. I…

Divination through Charm Casting
I have always, ALWAYS wanted to put together a set of charms for divination purposes. I’ve seen endless YouTube videos and they were all really inspiring. But I could never figure out how to get the exact charms that I wanted for my set without buying each charm individually at great expense. But recently, it…
Deck Interview- The Secrets of WandWood Oracle
This deck was the WORST kind of impulse purchase. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw someone post a picture of the Mindfulness card from this deck in a witch group that I’m in. I was so struck by the owl holding a key, that I did several reverse image searches…
How to Have a Conversation with your Tarot or Oracle Cards
I’ve been reading tarot for quite a long time. But the one thing that I’ve learned is that the more I think I know, the more there is to learn. In all honesty, that’s what I love about tarot more than anything. I love that I can study it for years and years, and still…
Deck Interview- Dreams of Gaia Tarot
I was so hesitant to buy this deck, though I had seen the artwork and loved it. But I read that the cards were big and difficult to shuffle. With my arthritic hands, that’s a concern, so I put it off. But a few days ago, I found out that there was a pocket edition,…
Deck Interview- Seasons of the Witch Beltane Oracle
I went back and forth over whether to buy this deck. I’ve been in a collection frenzy, and I wasn’t sure if I really NEEDED this one. However, our tax return came in, and the rest is history. Boy, am I glad I got this one. It’s a stunner. And it looks lovely paired with…
February New Moon- Oracle
In this month’s bibliomancy adventure, we find our finger on the entry for Oracle. It explains that the oracle was seen as an intermediary between the divine and humankind, and the shrines of oracles were centers of spirituality, not just fortune-telling. So how does this apply to me? Is this divination telling me that I…
Deck Interview- The Cosmos Tarot and Oracle
I lost my job at the end of March, and so I’ve had a lot of time to watch YouTube lately. One of my favorite types of videos to watch is deck reviews, and that’s where I happened upon this deck from Light Grey Art Lab. I’m not sure whose review it was that intrigued…
Advice for Beginner Tarot Readers from a Salty Old Cardslinger
So I’ve been reading tarot even longer than I’ve been Pagan. My father bought me my first deck for my 12th birthday, and I’ve always kept at least one deck around. My interest waxed and waned, and I didn’t get super serious about tarot until about 10 years ago, but I’ve always enjoyed reading for…
Deck Interview (kinda)- Super Attractor
This deck came to me for my birthday, a present from my wonderful sister. It was one that I knew I wanted, having loved Gabrielle Bernstein’s previous deck ‘The Universe Has Your Back’. Neither of these decks are particularly great for oracle work, as they provide affirmations instead. I have used both as oracles, but…
Deck Interview- Goddess Power Oracle
This is the second deck that my sister gifted me as an early Yule prezzy. I love it, and I’ve been using it a bit differently from my other oracle decks. I haven’t used it in a reading yet, but I’ve been using it to draw a new card every month to choose the deity…
Deck Interview- Arcane Bullshit Tarot
This deck was a surprise birthday gift from my A1 best, high-grade Husbear. And I LOVE IT. It was about 7 weeks late, because he backed it as a Kickstarter, but it came at exactly the right time. First, let’s look at the aesthetics. WOW. There are 105 cards, so shuffling this deck is completely…
Deck Interview- Spirit de la Lune
This deck has been on my wish list since I first saw it. How can you not love it? The cards are round, beautiful, evocative, and all based on lunar cycles and astrology. I also love that there’s a convention for working with the cards upright, reversed (seen as a blockage in that energy), or…
New Year Ahead Tarot Reading!
This reading shows 12 cards, one for each month of the coming year. The cards will show the pervasive energies for that month, including exciting events, pitfalls to avoid, or even just the theme for the month. This one is really great for people who like to plan their year ahead in late December or…
New reading! Integrating Light and Shadow
As we’re moving into the darker half of the year, I’ve been drawn to do some shadow work. I love the idea of helping others do their own as well! This reading shows us our light side (what we show to the world), and our shadow side (what we try to keep hidden), and how…

Oracle- April 17th, 2016
Today I realized I’m a bit bored with using the same tarot decks over and over. I love my same tarot decks for reading for myself, but for this weekly post, I wanted to do something a bit different. So I decided to use one of my favorite oracle decks instead. Seriously, if you haven’t…
Oracle- March 13th, 2016
So I’ve cycled through the majority of my tarot decks, excluding my Halloween Tarot by Karin Lee and Kipling West, which I’ll be using closer to that time, and my Motherpeace Tarot by Karen Vogel and Vicki Noble, which I always seem to forget I have. I took a moment to decide whether to use a…
Oracle- February 14th, 2016
Sorry this post is a little later in the day than I intended. It’s Valentine’s Day, which my husband and I take very seriously. We had a great day that started with adopting a new rat (a friend for our pet Stanley) from a friend. Then when we came home, Bear surprised…
