Happy Tuesday, friends and welcome back to Tarot & Tea!  Today’s card comes to us from the whimsical Tarot of a Moon Garden by Laura E Clarson.  This deck takes us to a magical world of fairies, unicorns, wizards, and all manner of fanciful plants, trees and mushrooms. The Moon, ever the changeling, comes to us in many guises through the cards to share her wisdom.  There is an innocence to this deck but it still retains the beautiful mystery of the divinatory tool that it is. Tarot of a Moon Garden has its structural base in the Rider-Waite-Smith deck...

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”.

Hello, Moonbeams! Thanks for stopping by for Tarot & Tea with us today. This week’s card is The Fool. As card zero of the Major Arcana, The Fool constitutes both the first and the last card of the Tarot’s trump suit. The Major Arcana, or trump suit, of the Tarot tells a story of human development in which the Fool plays the central character. He represents both the folly of youth and a journey into the unknown. The Fool is spontaneous because he has an innocent faith in the flow of life. Without worry or care, he relies totally on...
