    Thoughts on the Cards - Bianco Nero Tarot: X Wands

    Well this card is very different from your typical 10 of Wands card. Instead of being weighed down by his burdens, staggering along with the bunch of sticks in front of his face so that he can barely see where he's going as in most Rider-Waite-Smith based decks, this guy has shouldered his load and seems to be almost casually sauntering along the road. Yes, the path seems to be a long one and his destination (the village or town in the distance) is quite a long way off but t

    Thoughts on the cards - Bianco Nero Tarot - V Cups

    The first thing I noticed about this card is how much it looks like a Hermit card but without the lamp leading the way. Instead of a lamp this guy seems to be following a path littered with spilled cups. I think there's a metaphor there. In most other versions of this card we see the cloaked figure from behind, their head is usually bent as if in grief and they focus on the empty cups in front of them, not noticing that behind them they still have two full cups. The person i

    Thoughts on the cards: Bianco Nero Tarot - IV Cups

    I have a new deck, The Bianco Nero Tarot by Marco Proietto and I love it.  It's very obviously Rider-Waite-Smith based but it uses hand drawn ink illustrations and is influenced by antique engravings and woodcuts.  It has an old yet modern vibe. It's gorgeous and I feel inspired to read with it and to make some notes so I've decided to do some posts with my thoughts on these cards, no structure, just whatever comes into my head. Today I'm looking at the IV Cups and straight a

    2 of Swords - symbolism and meaning

    A blindfolded woman wearing a long white dress sits on a simple stone bench. Behind her is a body of water with rocky islands and a night sky with a waxing crescent moon. Her arms are crossed across her chest and she holds a huge sword in each hand, their tips pointing upwards. Element - Air Suit symbol - Swords Number - 2 Ruling Major Arcana card - The High Priestess II Swords and the element of Air are about thoughts, communication, problems and struggles.. 2s are about

    A reading about moving my prosthetic care to a new limb centre

    Back Story: On 21st December I got a new prosthesis.  I was quite apprehensive about picking it up and trying it on as my limb centre hasn't had a good track record of making usable, comfortable legs for me.  After having my amputation in May 2016 I had 9 months with a newly qualified (and lovely) prosthetist who unfortunately just couldn't manage to make a decent leg for me so after persevering for as long as I could I asked for someone more senior and that's who made this l

    How can I hurry this along?

    My prosthetist has told me that I need a much better foot because the one I have now is not up to my activity levels as it’s super basic and I am very active.  I have to wait for an OK for the funding and he’s also said that he doesn’t know how long the wait is but it could be up to a year 😱. I’m hoping that’s a worst case scenario and have no intention of allowing things to go on that long.  Meanwhile, other NHS limb centres have no such waiting lists and other amputees tha

    Thoughts on Tarot - Expectations

    What do you expect to get from a tarot reading? 3 High Priestess Cards: Sasuraibito Tarot, Wild Unknown Tarot and Dreaming Way Tarot One of the things that I've found strange when I tell people that I read tarot is what they actually imagine that I do and what they expect from a tarot reading.  Many people think of tarot reading in a purely fortune telling way and these people tend to want readings where they are told what's going to happen to them as if they have no control

    What message do I need right now?

    So I decided to pull a couple of cards from my Wild Unknown Tarot just because I love this deck and haven't used it for a while.. I asked 'What message do I need right now?' and the answer seems pretty direct and to the point: The cards seem to be saying very clearly that I need to get creative, do some work, focus on my particular skills and don't forget the details. The Empress in particular tells me to believe in myself and nurture my creativity, I can do whatever I put

    What's next for me tarot-wise?

    Yesterday the Aeclectic Tarot Forums closed. I've been a moderator there since 2004, that's thirteen years. It's been my life on-line for all of that time and now it's gone, I'll have a lot more tarot time. So I asked my Dreaming Way Tarot, 'What's next for me tarot-wise?' I pulled 3 cards: The Hermit 9 The Chariot 7 Justice 11 Wow, three Majors.. Well this certainly is a major event for me so the tarot isn't wrong there.. The cards seem to be saying that I'm going to have to
