Tarot Tuesdays, anyone?

[goodbyebird]

I think it would be fun to see folks posting a bit more about tarot on DW, and I've spotted quite a few tarot tags on youtube that let folks ramble on or show off their cards. I've collected a few in the post for handy copy pasting, should the mood strike =)

I like the idea of Tarot Tuesdays, although recently, most of my tarot use has been for gaming - I collect solo TTRPGs, and there are quite a few of them that use tarot decks instead of dice or playing cards.

I've acquired a couple of decks specifically for gaming; I didn't want to use my normal divination decks for these.

I could put together a post with a list of tarot-based games, if people would be interested in that.

I think I've picked up a couple of those myself from an itch bundle a while back. Eventually I'd like to use tarot for creativity as well, and I suspect solo RPGs would be of help there. I'm sure folks would like to hear about you experiences with those.

So I said, "ooh, Tarot Tuesdays!" and promptly forgot that I do a TTRPG on Tuesday nights and it's a terrible day to try to post something coherent. (...Thursdays are also TTRPG nights.)

Hmm.
Maybe I do Tarot Mondays and schedule the posts to go live on Tuesdays. (Monday is my in-the-office day; no access to my cards and the internet is somewhat restricted. But Monday evenings are free because, since I'm usually tired, I don't schedule things Monday nights.)

I won't be doing any myself for a month plus lol. I just put these up here to hopefully prompt some folks into posting. And obviously it doesn't have to be on a Tuesday (or Thursday) =)
