Tarot Deck Giveaway!

I have a brand new, just opened Witches Tarot by Ellen Dugan to give away within the UK. (Those outside the UK are free to enter, but I will have to ask for help in covering shipping).

Witches Tarot by Ellen Dugan, illustrated by Mark Evans, includes 78 card deck, 312 page book and original box.

To enter, please leave a comment below telling me:

1. What you love about tarot, how you got into it, or any tarot story you'd like to share.

2. How you found my blog and how long you've been reading it.

3. If you are a blogger or have a website, please include a link to it. :)

I will draw for the winner on 1 August.

Good luck!

WINNER of the Vampire Tarot!!

Congratulations to

LOUISE UNDERHILL!

Winner of the Vampire Tarot

by Robert Place!

I wrote all your names on slips of paper and had my husband stir his hand around in the bowl and draw one. So congratulations to Louise!

Thank you to everyone else who liked my Facebook page and kindly left comments. I hope you continue to visit me here--and you never know when there'll be another give away. :)

Have a blessed full moon. 

The Spring Equinox Giveaway is here at last!

The time has come to give away my spare copy of Lon Milo DuQuette's 'Understanding the Aleister Crowley Thoth Tarot'! Spring Equinox has come and gone already.

If you live in the UK and have posted to my blog anytime between Imbolc and Spring Equinox AND would like a free copy of this book, please comment here. (I'm doing it this way because so many of you already have a copy of the book--plus international shipping has gone up so much, I'm afraid I can't include international readers. Unless you might wish to kick in a tiny bit toward postage? That sounds awfully stingy, but...!) SO...if you are interested in receiving a free copy of this book, please comment on this post and I will do a draw to see who wins.

Thanks, all!!

A variation on the Golden Dawn Spread

Erika has kindly agreed to be my second (and final) guinea pig for the Golden Dawn Spread. For her reading, I am confining the draw to seven cards. She asks, 'What can I do to make my job more enjoyable?'

7 Card Golden Dawn Spread

What is the truth about my current situation?
2-1-3 'The Querent'  Star - Empress - 7 of Cups

This combination of cards suggests to me that you are an emotionally mature, powerful woman but you feel your creativity is going stagnant in your current position.

A reading using the Golden Dawn spread

Paula T has volunteered to be the guinea pig for my first go at the Golden Dawn spread. And here it is:

Golden Dawn Spread, 7 cards up

Focus of spread: What guidance is there for Paula with regard to her 2013 Year Card, The Hermit?

I shuffled the deck and searched for the Hermit card as card number 1, then laid out the next 14 cards in the shape of the Golden Dawn spread. I turned over cards 1 -2- 3, and the middle card from each 3-card cluster, cards 8 - 9 - 10 - 11.
