Welcome to the Mabon Tarot Blog Hop. We are a community of bloggers who have come together to discuss a theme or answer a question as posed to us by our wranglers. The wranglers this go-round are Jay Cassells and me, Arwen Lynch-Poe. Jay did all the heavy lifting as I am engrossed in my upcoming Trust Your Gut Intuitive Tarot class (10 week online and starts 10/1/2016).

Welcome to the 2016 Midsummer/Lammas Tarot Blog Hop.

How often have you thrown yourself into something only to find out you should have done more research... you should have waited a bit longer? What were the consequences of your hasty decision? Would you have chosen differently if you had taken a few more moments to think? These are what I see as the moments when our personal Chariots took over. We were not in control. Or we may have thought we were in control. I know I've had more than one moment where what I thought was a controlled action was controlled by my own needs or wants. I think of the sphinxes of the Rider Waite Smith Tarot as Yin and Yang. They are often shown as one dark and one light. Like the High Priestess who sits between the two pillars, Jachin and Boaz, the theme carries over here but with a lot more action in my opinion.

Due to a long-standing love, I began a project writing Tarot spreads based on fairy tales. That love also led me to a project with Lisa Hunt that is being published by U.S. Games this summer (2016). That is a Lenormand deck. I'm coming to an appreciation and understanding of Lenormand because of that and due to a class I took from the World Lenormand Association. 

As a professional Tarot conversationalist (I prefer that to reader), I hear a wide variety of questions. One of the ones I hear more often that not is a variation on "where am I supposed to be going." Often I am asked “What does life have in store for me?” or “What am I supposed to be doing with my life?” or “I feel stuck right now. Am I on the right path?”

These are questions many of us have even if we don’t ask them outloud. We wonder where we are going and if we really are supposed to get there. I think it’s a combination of societal/family pressures and our own need for assurance. In thinking about this particular area of questioning, I decided I needed a spread more dedicated to offering creative solutions.

Some years ago I wrote a post about my top Tarot myths. I've been doing a lot more on YouTube recently including using that old post as a video topic. I wanted to share that here.
