I'd love to hear from anyone who incorporates pendulum divination into their tarot practice.

What do you do? Has it been helpful/enjoyable?

I received a lovely MJ Cullinane yes-no-maybe pendulum board for my birthday and would be grateful for thoughts on using a pendulum + a board like this alongside tarot. I've been studying/reading tarot for about two years now but have barely used my pendulums yet. Maybe 2024 is the year I embrace them? Anyway, would be delighted to hear from anyone who has thoughts on the subject.

Thanks, and happy new year!

I've just opened up my first one card Tarot draw, here at my journal. Come one, come all!

I'd like to start an action and answer all kinds of questions in the love sphere, using Tarot Of The Dream Enchantress. It's a deep and hopeful deck, and is really interesting with such kind of questions.
From you I need your name and birth date, and same for the person you are asking about. Photos are real help, too.
And, of course, a question, with a brief (or not so brief - up to you) description of the situation.
I'll do the first one for free, but if there would be more requests, I need to take some payment (webmoney), but the sum is completely up to you, you can send it after my answer.
Comment here, and then sent me your question via e-mail right away: shigella@list.ru
Good luck and blessed be.

After seeing some accusations against Marcus Katz in a thread in an Amazon.com review, I googled around to see what the drama was about and OMGWHATISTHISICAN'TEVEN.

Janet Boyer, who really hates Donnaleigh de LaRose-the woman who runs and hosts the Tarot Tribe podcast, decides it's a great idea to upload her badly written snuff murder fantasy story on Amazon, then bitches about the backlash against her, one she most certainly deserves. The hypocrisy from Boyer, as you can see from the FaceBook thread, is astounding. Oh sure, Storm Cestavani unsurprisingly turns out to be a fraud (to me at least) and perhaps de LaRose should have been more open about it after kicking him off after she discovered the truth about him, but face it, Boyer is promoting New Wage cult-friendly bullshit like The Work and The Law of Attraction so it's the pot calling the kettle black. Whatever problems there might be with that program-which I believe is still worth listening to-at least de LaRose isn't doing this to feed in to her ego. Boyer's fauxpology clearly shows she has no regrets at all about what she did, oh noooooooo, it's just that evil Tarot community doesn't recognize her genius, her work is like Stephen King and Dexter novels, criticizing and shunning people for making death threats means you don't really understand edgy fiction.

The bright side is is that she's been kicked out of and refused entry to a lot of Tarot and cartomancy groups and gatherings, both online and off, but I felt it'd be a good idea if I helped spread the word in order to help keep a good trend going.

Hello again. :) I'm offering free one, three and four card readings on my journal today, to help me learn to work with my newest deck, the Fairy Tale Tarot. Post is here. I hope you stop by!

Me again. ^_^ The One Card Draw is closed, but I'm still trying to raise donations to help my friend with her car repairs. So I have a new post and offer up here. Please consider donating? Thank you.

Hello everyone, I'm hosting a free One Card Draw in my journal today, here. I've just started doing this monthly; this month half of the total donations will go towards helping a friend of mine pay for repairs to her car. Details are in the post. :) Thank you, and blessed be.

Hi, I'm Wren Starling, and I do a monthly one card draw from the bird oracle cards that I created myself, with some serious nudging from the universe. Today is my April One Card Draw, and I wanted to invite you to come and request a card. (One card is free, but tips are appreciated!)
Thank you!

Robert Place's Alchemy and Tarot book has been submitted to Lightening Source Press, at least according to his FaceBook account.

Baba Studio/Magical Realist Press might reprint the Victorian Romantic Tarot again this year, and I know I'll be purchasing a few copies for sure, since I was very disappointed that the first time I ever even heard of it was when it was sadly sold out. Next to Deviant Moon, I thought it had some of the best Tarot art ever, it clicked so well for me.

On a personal note I think I'll be giving Lo Scarabeo a try this month, so does anyone out there have an opinion on Tarot of the Pagan Cats?

I'm also interested in the Wizard Tarot, so naturally I'm also interested in any opinions current users of it may have.

Not a review, but more of a complaint. US Games in their infinite wisdom decided it would be a great idea to use shiny, smelly lamination for this deck, just like with the new Joie de Vivre Tarot. This worries me, since I now dread how the upcoming (if ever) Sun deck tarot Patrick Valenza US Games might be published. We need to do something to fight this trend.

Thanks to

takemyrevolution's head's-up, I asked Santa to stick a Dollar Tree tarot deck in my Christmas stocking, and, wow.

It's not actually a bad deck - it's printed in three colors (red, yellow, black) on fairly flimsy, non-glossy cardstock, but I actually like the design that went into it, and I've been wanting a basic tarot deck that has non-pictorial pip cards.

But!

It is the weirdest deck of cards, tarot or otherwise, I have ever encountered. It has the full Major Arcana (unnumbered), and then it has suit cards numbered 1-7 and Page, knight, queen, king, and ace. If you add in the 8 'divination' cards (which go with the "mystic mat" as guides to doing a Celtic cross layout variant) it does in fact add up to the 'complete set with 78 cards' that the box promises, but, uh, not the cards I expected, and the explanatory pamphlet is... not very explanatory.

Has anyone seen a deck with those cards in it before, tarot or otherwise? I haven't. I checked Hoyle's and apparently there are some old rummy-type games (like Conquian) that use a deck of A-7 + J Q K, but even they don't have ones and aces. Is there somewhere in the world where this is the normal set of cards?

If you are in need of a tarot deck and you live near a Dollar Tree, check out their toy isle. I don't know if all Dollar Trees have the same selection, but the one near me has smallish 78-card tarot decks. I picked one up tonight. It's nothing fancy, but the art is okay and hey, it's a functional deck.

Just thought I'd mention it. :)

One that I've been looking forward to, the Cat's Eye Tarot, and Paulina Cassidy's new deck Joie De Vivre, which IMHO appears to be an improvement over her last one.

Hi! First time poster, so be gentle with me.

I've been reading cards for over a decade, both personally and professionally.

I've recently made the decision to create my own deck for private use and was wondering if anyone around here had done the same and could offer any introspection into any kind of changes in reading this might cause.

Thank you for your time.

Offering one and three card draws and larger spreads. Hoping for donations, though not required.

Offering twice weekly readings for what I am hoping are negotiable rates.

Has anyone out there tried BPAL's line, or similar brands?

The Morbidly Adorable Tarot, to be published by US Games, whenever the hell it might get finished, that is. I'm betting in or around 2012-13 at this rate.
