Interactive Tarot Imagery Spread EXPLAINED!

If you have had a tarot reading before, it may have been a bit generic. Not knocking a good, wholesome reading because- OH BOY- they can do wonders.

But sometimes you want a bit more control. You want it to resonate to your primal core. You want to be able to reach in deep and grasp a hold of that... thing. You know, the thing you can't quite put your finger on.

SO.

As we all know- if you follow me- I am an AVID lover of Tarot and Art. Especially together but, utilizing them together seems to be a bit confusing. Especially since I'm still working out the kinks and using some experimental methods to read cards.

In my etsy store- I have something called "The Interactive Tarot Imagery Spread". This is a very long, complicated title for something quite simple: Color, Tarot and the impact it has on an individual. I use a series of techniques to help the client swan dive into their subconscious and dig deep to whats really going on. I use a series of images (that the client will create) and tarot and really get down to the meat and potatoes.

Here is the link in case you're Curious


In SIMPLEST terms possible: I draw (a card), you draw (an image).

I break down color, uses of lines and strokes, as well as feelings that those colors draw out of the individual. Every reading is different and completely catered to the clients perspective. This is what makes it so unique, and special. I also allow the client to choose their medium- Crayons, Paint, Construction paper, loose leaf, even just a pencil and paper! It's completely up to you!

Contrary to popular belief: NO, you don't have to know how to draw. No, you don't have to be the "creative" type. Homo-sapiens have used imagery to communicate lonnng before there was actual language floating around. Imagery WAS language. Hell, it STILL is!

You never know what a simple line can tell about a person. You never know what a choice of color can be decided about a decision in the making. It's up to you. You choose. You rule the tarot reading and not the other way around. I put you in charge of how you shape the reading and I'm not just sitting around, reading off cards and telling you advice that you've probably heard a million times before. You create the path. This is what makes it interactive.

Thanks for reading loves and I hope this clears some stuff up!
Much Love XOX

Two things I obsess over....

Happy 20th Buffyverse!




So, I did a thing.


Before I get to it, I have a confession. I am completely and utterly obsessed with Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I'm talking BIG, fan. Huge. Ever since I've seen the show I have been completely hooked and never looked back. Buffy is my absolute hero and that show- the writing, scenes and characters- they have all SHINED a light on me and my life.


So, for funsies, I did a thing. I pulled a card for Buffy Anne Summers to show me the energies she portrays and how it might relate to my life.

I pulled The Empress.... which, although is a strong female card, was NOT what I was expecting. Taking a step back, I analyzed this...

{Warning: SPOILER ALERT!! If you have not seen Buffy...well, what the hell are you doing? It's on Netflix, go binge that shit right now!!}


The Empress IS the lioness. She is the nurturer and the world exists because of her fertility and her compassion for this world. At first light, I see Buffy more as The Strength card: Calming yet fierce. And she is that card, don't get me wrong but, the empress is feminine personified. It is motherly and fierce and THE protector. Through season 6 of Buffy, she has such a dip in her inner empress. She is distant and depressed and completely lost. Then she learned to enjoy life again after the terrible heartache of loosing her mother and dying at the end of season 5. During season 6, she comes back "different". She believes it was due to some sort of magic mix up but of COURSE she is different because she went through tumultuous events in her life. Don't worry- I'm nearing my point.

My point is that in season 7, she comes to realize that she needs to stop and smell the roses. That there was never anything wrong with her or the choices she made but she was growing. THIS is what the empress embodies. Stopping, smelling the roses and realizing that you are as mighty as an oak tree!

There are very many facets to Buffy, as there is to me!... or to anyone for that matter. The Empress was pulled for a reason. This facet needed to be shown from Buffy to mirror my life in some way.

Embrace my feminine side, don't give up and stop to smell your growth once in awhile. Go outside, get some sunshine and get in touch with something more tangible. Sometimes the best way to get a grip on reality is to well..... grip reality. Touch some earth, go elbow deep in that shit!

Don't worry about doing it wrong- Buffy is there to back you up.


Happy 20th ya'll. XOX
