Learning New Stuff

I splurged and signed up for an online course on ways to make money on my art. I pulled 3 cards to get a sense of what I can expect and if this will be a helpful course.

Knight of Wands: Creative *action*, exercises, stuff to do, etc. Could also refer to my being impulsive jumping on this course! But I’m definitely inspired and want to learn new things.

King of Cups: I need to check my expectations and control my emotions and keep an open mind. I’ll admit I’m walking into this with raging imposter syndrome 😅

Ace of Swords R: This course might bring clarity to the business / marketing side of things and might have me rethinking some things.

What are you picking up here?

[BTW 3rd Edition of Northern Animal Tarot is perfection!! Slightly smaller cards are easier to shuffle, the linen is finer-grain than 1st Ed and the colors are so vibrant!!]

Literal Tarot

Taking a lesson from other tarot learners and practitioners, I wanted to pull a card of the day to set my intention. What does that mean? According to several Google search result summaries, it is the act of stating what you intend to accomplish through your actions. Mostly I accomplish scrolling through Instagram, daydreaming, chasing the dog away from the front window, drinking coffee - oh - and doing the work I'm being paid for. I don't intend to be distracted all day, but my actions are distracted so I thought setting intention might help.

Then I cut the deck to reveal Two of Pentacles. This tells me I'm successfully juggling multiple priorities... for now. I'm also getting caught up in day-to-day demands but losing sight of the big p...

Smells Like Tarot Spirit

I’m the dork that like to do readings for dead rock heroes. Today I saw a video of Foo Fighters doing a ‘Teen Spirit’ version of Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ and I was tickled pink by how much fun they were having. I wondered what Kurt would have thought and I was moved to pull a reading about it. In the first two cards I can see the trajectory of his success: His creativity, ambition, risk-taking, and charisma was the embodiment of the Knight of Wands. At the end of his life he had a spiritual crisis - represented by 5 Pents - where he felt creatively destitute. He felt like a fraud and thought everyone could see him failing. In the end, the 6 Pents seem to say he feels joy seeing his band mates carry on, having fun, being successful, and forming personal connections with their audience. What do you see?

4 of Wands: Joy Seriously?? 🙄😂
