jenettGood morning!
Topic of the week
What thing have you learned or done recently that's brought you joy? (Or at least a certain amount of pleasure. Doesn't have to be a peak joy experience.)
Alternately, related to what I'm up to, do you read Tarot? (Or use them in other ways?) Do you have a favourite deck? What's your approach? (Other oracle methods also welcome. We are an inclusive discussion here!)
Not interested in either of those? As always, whatever other topics people want to talk about very welcome. Start a thread, see who joins in.
A useful tool
melannen put together a bookmarklet (based on one by astrolat) that allows you to quickly share links on Dreamwidth and that will check to see if you're linking to a locked DW post. Instructions on the bookmarklet over here It'll create a new DW post, autofill the subject line, and then you can edit or add other commentary.
What I've been up to
Unpacking. I got all my books on bookshelves last Sunday, labelled them a couple of days ago (and now I need to go through and update my locations in LibraryThing. That's a longer project).
Tonight is for finishing tidying up the living room and cleaning before I have witchy students over tomorrow. (For a class on Tarot.)

Comments are welcome whenever you get a chance - even if that's hours or days later. Feel free to jump into whatever sub-threads intrigue you. More discussion is the point of the salon posts!
Got a question you're trying to sort out, or a thing you'd like to discuss? Lots of thoughtful interesting people with a wide range of interests show up here! Feel free to ask about things you're thinking about or trying to solve, as well as other kinds of chat.

1) Consider this a conversation in my living room, only with a lot more seating. I reserve the right to redirect, screen, and otherwise moderate stuff, but would vastly prefer not to have to. Keeping conversations SFW is appreciated.
2) If you don't have a DW account or want to post anonymously, please include a name we can call you in this particular post. (You can say AnonymousOne or your favourite colour or whatever. Just something to help keep conversations clear.)
3) If you've got a question or concern, feel free to PM me.

Date: 2019-01-18 03:36 pm (UTC)Man, my mom had my cards out the other day, and it reminded me that I haven't done a reading in aaaaaages. I've had Sacred Circle tarot since I was a teen and know that deck best, though it's neo celtic and changes the order of the major arcana and some of the meanings. I also have the Llewellyn deck which I mostly have because the art is STUNNING. That's a lot closer to Rider White.
ETA: Sacred Circle, Llewellyn. Also, it's possible that I buy my decks based on how much I like The Star.

Date: 2019-01-18 08:45 pm (UTC)Starting in college I used to get the Hanged Man all the dang time, (letting go: not my forte) so it started out as just knowing I'd see the card a lot and so I wanted to not hate it, but as I got deeper into my... let's say 'freelance contract" relationship with Odin the symbology became more important too. (For example, the Hanged Man in the Archaeon deck has two crows, just in case Stabby McEyepatch is feeling particularly subtle.)
