7 Cups - Tarot & Tea

We hope it is a happy Tuesday for you, friends! Welcome back to Tarot & Tea! Today’s card comes from the iconic Motherpeace Tarot….oh, she of the round cards and Goddess spirit! This deck was created in the late 70’s by Karen Vogel & Vicki Noble.  This deck features figures from what the authors consider to be more Goddess-centered cultures & eras around the world. The Motherpeace deck can be considered more feministic & often reads more positively than traditional decks.  I believe this was the first deck to feature rounded cards and that is intended to offer a more...

6 of Pentacles/Page of Swords - Tarot & Tea

Happy Tuesday, friends and welcome back to Tarot & Tea!  For today’s exploration, we are using the strange & magical Deviant Moon Tarot.  Created by artist Patrick Valenza to “explore the dark side of the subconscious with haunting surreal imagery…inspired by childhood dreams”. Valenza is also a tarot student and has been working on this deck nearly his whole life before its publication in 2008 or so.  It is quite an achievement!  In its own unique way, the art of this deck reminds me of the movie Mirrormask which has that dark, surreal, dreamy and symbolic feel with its imagery. ...

3 of Wands/Virtue - Tarot & Tea

Welcome back to Tarot & Tea!  Feeling a bit of a general malaise this morning, I am so happy to share the spiritual synthesis and dynamic creative force of today’s card: the 3 of Wands from the Thoth tarot! This is the perfect card for this time of year as it embodies the inspiration and productivity of the early Spring! Upon this card, we see the three wands above a fiery star over a blossom of some sort….overall creating the image of a lotus a symbol of purity, regeneration, enlightenment & rebirth.  Lotus flowers also adorn the tops of the...

Tarot & Tea - 4 of Swords

Tarot & Tea - 4 of Swords

A beautifully dressed woman sits in repose enjoying the play of her two feline companions, behind her hang four swords in a symmetrical pattern suggesting stability and strength. This playful card wonderfully depicts the positive aspects of the 4 of Swords: rest after challenges and perhaps some mental or physical trauma, self-care, being at peace in the present moment.  Many who've worked with tarot are likely used to the somewhat more macabre seeming Rider-Waite-Smith (R-W-S) depiction of a knight upon or in his tomb. This young man is not dead, merely resting.  There is a lovely Medieval history lesson on this...

Tarot & Tea - 10 of Pentacles

Welcome back to Tarot & Tea, folks!  This week's featured card is the 10 of Pentacles or "Wealth" card from the Sun & Moon Tarot by Vanessa de Cort.   This beautiful, playful deck combines the classic Rider-Waite-Smith structure with updated imagery, Thoth deck, Taoist & Kabbalistic influences just to name a few!  It is a very sweet deck and is one of my favorites. Today's card is quite the auspicious one....the upright 10 of Pentacles.  On this card, we see the alchemical symbol for earth at the top and two apparent lovers embracing around the Tree of Life with the 6-pointed star...
