The Tarot Room on Bluesky

The Tarot Room has joined Bluesky!

I just joined recently and don’t really know what I’m doing, but I’ll be playing around and seeing what’s up.

And of course, my posts are likely to be focused mostly on Tarot … kind of to be expected.

Anyway, if you’re on Bluesky too … come by and say hello! @thetarotroom.bsky.social

Tarot Meditation

Whether you do it for yourself, or get a reading from someone else, having your Tarot cards read is fun, and interesting, sometimes therapeutic, and often validating and motivational. But reading cards isn’t the only thing you can do with them.

Here’s a short list of five non-divining activities you can do with your Tarot cards …

Creative Prompts – you can draw a card to inspire a storyline, character, picture, landscape … anything for which you might be looking for an extra boost of inspiration

Meditation/Affirmation – choose a card, either randomly or with intention, to use as a focus for meditation, visualizations, and/or affirmation building. And if you have a vision board … choose one or more cards that align with the goals you’re working towards and add them to the board.

Spell Casting – choose a card for its symbolic energies to incorporate into your spell work and/or rituals

Exploration – choose a card (or a few) and head out for a walk – see if you can find elements from the cards you’ve chosen out there in the real world (or like my Tarot Sightings Toronto – don’t even choose a card, just keep your eyes peeled for Tarot archetypes that might be hiding out there in plain sight)

Art Appreciation – choose a deck and just look through it, carefully and with curiosity, as if you know nothing about Tarot and have never seen the pictures before. Enjoy the artwork, and pay especial attention to the symbology and colours – look them up if you don’t know what they mean. Look them up if you think you do know what they mean … there might be some surprises.

Sigil Generators

Sigil Generators

You magically inclined readers might already know about this, but I just discovered it … free magic sigil generators!

That’s right, there are magic sigil generators on-line to help you create whatever sigil you want in a matter of seconds – for free.

Now, of course, different people have different methods of creating sigils, and maybe the methods used by the sites I’m linking below are not what you’d be looking for … and/or maybe it’s important in your magic work to create your sigils manually as part of the process.

But if you’re like me, and just want a quick and ‘as-good-as-I-could-ever-make-it’ working symbol for a talisman, or a meditation, or something like that, give one of these sites a try.

You can also ask ChatGPT to whip you something up … but it was ChatGPT that brought sigil generators to my attention in the first place. And the ones made through the generators were much more elegant.

Anyway … if you’re interested, give these sites a try. And please, use your magic with kindness and good will …

Matlock and the Thoth Tarot

January 2nd, 2025 § Comments Off on Matlock and the Thoth Tarot § permalink

I’m a little embarrassed to admit it, but I was watching Matlock the other night. Not the new one even, but the old one. The one with Andy Griffith from the ’80’s.

I’m making this admission here in The Tarot Room because the episode was called The Psychic (season 3, episode 13 with Camilla More).

The story line was fun … a psychic gets a vision that someone would be killed and that she was going to be accused of murder, so she goes to Matlock for defence before the killing even happens.

But it wasn’t the plot that grabbed me. It was that about half-way through, in a scene in an office of a psychic fair, there on the bulletin board were a bunch of cards from the Thoth Tarot.

I got a screenshot …

I haven’t really got anything to say about this sighting, except that I was thrilled to see my favourite deck there on the screen. I don’t see this deck in the wild too often. No comments were made about it, and I don’t think Tarot was even mentioned in the episode, but the cards were there. I liked that.

Holiday Gift List ... image from ChatGPT

It’s December … the start of the Holiday Gift-Giving Season!

If you have a Tarot enthusiast in your life, or are looking for a gift to give yourself (I’m sure you deserve it) … here’s a list of rather random gift ideas a Tarot reader might like. Or at least I like them all.

And just to be clear, I don’t have any affiliation with any of the outlets linked so I can’t guarantee anything. This is just a list of ideas ….

  1. Tarot Pillows or Rugs … a pillow you can sit on … or just throw onto the couch. And if you’d like a rug … there are biggish ones and small. Or maybe you’d like to create your own design and put it on a pillow or a rug.
  2. Tarot Homeware like Clocks, Candles, Card Stands, Coasters, Dishes, Lampshades and Neon Signs … or maybe you’d like a Towel or a Tote?
  3. Tarot clothes .. there’s so many options … Tees, Shoes, Scarves, Hats, and Socks too.
  4. Tarot Jewlery … I love the Charm Bracelets … but there are so many options … Rings and Pendants, Earrings, and Pins.
  5. Tarot Stationary type stuff … like Magnets, Stamps, Stickers, Pouches, iPhone cases, and Air Fresheners.
  6. Tarot Cookie Cutters (and Alchemical ones too) and Chocolate Molds (Soap Molds too), and an especially fun Ouija Board Lunch Bag!
  7. And of course Tarot decks … but that’s so obvious, I almost didn’t write it. I did, however, come across these shiny foil Rider-Waite-Smith cards while I was searching around. I’ve never seen them before … and there’s a Pink Vintage Glamour RWS deck? Oh my, I think I want these …

Lessons from the Field – tarot reading in the wild

Lessons from the Field - Thoth Tarot

These three points become super clear when you regularly read cards for multiple people over the course of a few hours …

  1. There seems to be a daily theme, ie. during a particular session, many of the same cards appear in multiple people’s readings no matter how well the cards are shuffled
  2. People are almost all interested in the same questions … work, health, love
  3. Everyone is looking for validation and hope

So what would the Tarot lesson be? …

Wherever you are, the people around you are likely facing similar issues to what you’re dealing with, and they’re probably concerned about the same type of questions you are. And finally, whether we appear sure of ourselves or not, all of us can use some hope and validation.

With that in mind, let’s try to be good to each other. We can definitely use each other’s help.
