I really want this tarot deck. Of course, I have very little facility for reading cards, but there you go. It's shiny and lovely...I saw it in [livejournal.com profile] weya's LJ and fell in lust.

P.S. Princess Boredom received not just one, but TWO tarot decks for her birthday. They both seem to suit her very well, so thanks much to [livejournal.com profile] fionnabhar and [livejournal.com profile] opaljax. Will have to have some tea parties with her to chat about divination and let her use the cards outside the preteen slumber party environment. May need to import some folks more acquainted with tarot for this.

Hey -- [livejournal.com profile] featherynscale -- did you find online the notes from my divination class, or shall I dig around for them elsewhere?

*blink*
Was I supposed to be looking for your divination notes? Was it because I wanted them, or because you did?

Please forgive me -- apparently my request to have my brains screwed out over Beltane weekend was taken literally.

Whoops, no, I need them, actually. I need 'em for the EIR students. I asked Saff if she had them, or if I should poke through your Adult Ed archives. Do you know where I can find 'em?

Oh ah. Um... right off the top of my head, check my computer -- there is a folder called RE which might have that in it. Other than that, somewhere in the office there is a black file box that has RE handouts in it. Other than that, check the files section of the ritualists e-list. If they're not in any of those places, I don't have them.

Apropos of nothing

Aren't we supposed to meet for lunch tomorrow? Some neural connection about that is sparking.

Could that be a summer tea party? I'll host, and whoever can make it and come over and play and maybe teach the younger ones some stuff. Not that I'm all that great o' shakes at it without a cheat sheet myself. Scones, though. I can do the suit of scones.

Ooh, ooh. Suit snacks. Tea is cups, scones is pentacles, something spicy for wands, and I'm stumped for swords. Meringues for air? Eat with our knives? Brandish our knives about when we pile on the lemon curd? I sense infinite possibilities.

They will not be in the Adult RE notes. At least, that's not where I archived them. Look in the Gaia Ritualist's list electronic files, where we saved the Druid Chapter outlines.

I have us meeting for lunch Wednesday. Tomorrow would be fine, too, if you prefer.

Oh, yes. And I shall wear garish scarves and jangly earrings. We could aim for Saturday, June 25th (conveniently one day before my birthday).

La Greca and I will be in Atlanta for a wedding around the 18th of June. We should be back, but I'll firm up plans soon and let everyone know.

I splurged and bought the deck yesterday. It's gorgeous. (sorry)

I like the book too. The information is straightforward and simple. It gives exercises that look to be really useful (still need to do them). The author gives associations for the suits and for the numbers/courts and then directs you to come up with interpretations for the intersections. (ie. Pentacles generally deal with earthy things (she gives more specifics) and Twos generally deal with partnerships/relationships so what would the Two of Pentacles mean?) I like that she pushes you to think and associate and intuit the cards instead of going into miniscule detail on the meaning of each card.

Sorry I'm gushing. I guess I'm a bit excited. LOL.

Um, You're welcome?

Oh, crap. You're right. Princess Boredom leaves for Poppy Camp on June 10th.

You made sure she got that gift bag yesterday, which included the second deck. She did not ever communicate to me who the gift was FROM, but I know you made sure she took it home. So...thank you.

That's very much the way I approach reading. Bunny wants it even more now. Thanks!

But school is out May 24 for me. That's plenty of time. A Saturday, I think. June 4 is the day after my birthday, so how about then?

oh, ok

Not a problem. It was from Mari. I'm glad she had a good birthday, and please thank her again for her help. She did a really fantasic job.

I love this community. The briefest mention of "I'll have to use my mom's deck," and everyone's on the case immediately.

Just out of curiosity, what was the other deck. It would be interesting if they were similar or very different. Either way.

I think it was Rider-Waite (sp?). Will check when I get home tonight.
