Tarot Tuesday #4 - Cat's Eye Tarot: Temperance


Temperance - Cat's Eye Tarot
artist: Debra M. Gavin

Black and white - water and sunlight - opposites attracting and blending?

What do you see? What do you feel?

Debra Gavin brings her experience as a veterinarian and knowledge and love of animals to this beautiful and very different Tarot deck. It's unpublished, so if you want to see more, you can only see them at the artist's homepage (linked above). The deck is fully illustrated with cats that show more personality than many of the humans featured in other decks. Somehow, each image manages to capture the essence of the card without relying on the usual symbols. If this deck were available, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.



How to Participate:
  1. Visit us on or after Friday to see this week's Tarot Card.
  2. Write a post on your blog inspired by the image or the questions.
  3. Use Mr. Linky to add your link to the Tarot Tuesday link list.
  4. Drop a comment in the comments for the week, and we'll add you to the participant's blog list.
  5. We encourage you to visit other Tarot Tuesdays to see what inspiration others found.

Tarot Tuesday #3 - Sacred Circle High Priestess


The Sacred Circle Tarot: A Celtic Pagan Journey

Artist: Anna Franklin

Top o' the mornin' on a beautiful St. Patrick's Day. It seemed only right to use a Celtic styled deck for today's Tarot Tuesday card.

What does Anna Franklin's High Priestess say to you?

Is she a mystic? A seer? A wise woman in the making? Is she you or someone you know?

  1. Visit us on or after Friday to see this week's Tarot Card.
  2. Write a post on your blog inspired by the image or the questions.
  3. Use Mr. Linky to add your link to the Tarot Tuesday link list.

Tarot Tuesday #2 - The Ace of Pentacles - AnnaK Tarot

The Ace of Pentacles - AnnaK Tarot


The Ace of Pentacles captured me the moment I saw it - perhaps because I've been thinking about gardening for weeks, and planting seeds and waiting to see what grows.

What are you planting in your life? How do you tend your "seedlings"? What sort of "buried treasure" do you find when you look? Are YOU a buried treasure?

About The AnnaK Tarot:
This week's Tarot Tuesday is a real treat for me. It's from a deck that goes on sale TOMORROW - so it's brand spanking new. The AnnaK Tarot carries through the Rider-Waite symbolism in most cards, but there are exceptions. The deck is a limited edition published by the author. It comes in a lovely box, and includes an instruction booklet. You can view all the cards in Anna's deck at her own website or read her own interpretation of the Ace of Pentacles. She also has a rather neat javascript Tarot reading.

Buy This Deck from: AnnaK starting March 7, 2009
(Note: This is NOT a paid post or an affiliate link. I'm sharing because I think the deck is beautiful, and I believe in supporting independent artists and spreading good words and works.)

Tarot Tuesday #1 - The Fool


This week's Tuesday Tarot image is The Fool from the Gendron Tarot. It's a slight departure from the traditional Fool image, but not so different that it's lost its meaning.

What do you see in The Fool? Are you a Foolish?

This is the first Tarot Tuesday, and it's up late, so take all the time you want to write about The Fool - either this particular rendition of The Fool or the archetype itself, then come on back and link up to this post using Mr. Linky by Friday.

There will be a new Tarot Tuesday up on Friday, so come on back!
