In 2017, when hubby and I were brainstorming images for our Coffee Tarot deck, I felt that portraying the American political divide was the perfect portrayal of the 2 of Swords.

Elect Your Tarot Cards!

The individual who is unable to control his mind will be its victim. — Manly P. Hall

U.S. Presidential Debate Debacle

Short answer: the two-party machine and the media that supports (and is owned) by it.

The United States’ corrupt two-party system ushers in rich candidates to nomination (getting name on state ballots is expensive) and derails fresh voices.

New Year AstroTarot Forecast 2024

Hard to believe, but it’s been almost six years since I’ve done one of my AstroTarot Forecasts! Those who have followed my work for many years will probably remember (fondly, I hope!) my monthly “tarotscopes”.

Well, I’ve decided to resurrect my Tarot Forecast for each sign of the zodiac using the Coffee Tarot (created by hubby and me)—at least, for a 2024 New Year Reading.

Cultivating Gratitude with Tarot
6 of Coins Cropped 400
6 Material Card (6 of Coins) from the Snowland Deck

I had thought about writing a post using specific Tarot cards as gratitude talismans.

That is, using certain Tarot cards--especially ones that some would associate with gratitude or abundance--for the conscious cultivation of thankfulness.

The more I thought of it, the more I realized that every single one of the 78 cards of Tarot can be used to inspire gratitude, draw out thankfulness or cultivate mindful appreciation.

Numerous studies have demonstrated the physical, mental and emotional benefits of gratitude. If you don't use a gratitude journal, try writing in one using Tarot cards as prompts. You don't have to have a fancy or expensive journal; a dollar store notebook is fine!
