Wow! I’ve been waiting since March, but my Tarot Lo Scarabeo Tarot Encyclopedia set (with Etteilla deck) has just arrived!

Perfect timing. I know what I’m doing this holiday break. Can hardly wait to dive in!

I’m not completely sure what’s going on in the short film below, but at least it’s clear that I’m not the only one who sees Tarot cards in graffiti.

What a beautiful deck … the Aboriginal Dreamtime Oracle by Mel Brown.

This new deck, released through Rockpool Publishing, feels rich, deep, and yes, dreamy. It shares the stories of the Aboriginal Ancestors as channeled through Mel Brown, each card offering a different dream, one we can have while we’re awake.

Brown, a Ngunnawai woman, describes dreaming as Mother Earth whispering ancient stories and sharing wisdom, and Dreamtime as being an ‘ancient bible’ that explains creation and provides guidance to help understand and live our lives.

In this deck (one of a series of Aboriginal themed decks created by Brown), 40 different dreams are represented, each one beautifully illustrated with a composite image of a photo and painting.

There’s a calm elegance to these cards that encourages reflection, and the accompanying handbook that tells the story of each dream is both clear speaking and spiritually illuminating.

For those interested in an oracle deck with a quiet voice, but the power of ageless wisdom, take a look at the Aboriginal Dreamtime Oracle. I think you might really like it.

If you find yourself always explaining to yourself why you shouldn’t try something you’d really like to do, take a look at the video below from Simon Cade and DSLRguide called Why You Shouldn’t Be An Artist.

It’s not at all about Tarot, but it brings to mind the idea from the Fool card that sometimes we just need to take a leap and not get all hung up on convincing ourselves not to try.
