Reader’s Favorites 3Today tarot reader Hilary Parry of  www.tarotbyhilary.com shares her two favorites…a book and a deck! 1) What is your favorite Llewellyn tarot book or deck? Deck: Legacy of the Divine by Ciro Marchetti Book: Psychic Tarot by Nancy Antenucci and Melanie Howard 2) What do you love most about it? Deck: I was absolutely struck [...] On the second day…On the second day of December, Tarot gave to me: The 2 of Swords from the Legacy of the Divine Tarot by Ciro Marchetti A quiet moment, the calm before the storm, the moment before a decision is made…very dramatic. This may be the moment before you decide what gift to give a loved one, [...] The Hanged ManThis card has changed a lot throughout history. It originally meant a traitor; someone who had betrayed someone or something. Later, it meant sacrifice, and some still read it as that. But more commonly, now, people read it as being in a kind of comfortable limbo waiting for a revelation or realization of some sort. [...] JusticeThe Justice card was, and sometimes still is, numbered as 8. Here, it is number 11. I prefer 11, probably because it is the way I originally learned it and because years ago I read 78 Degrees of Wisdom by Rachel Pollack. She made an argument for Justice being 11, for it being the dead [...] The TensHere we have another instance where the we can look at the active suits together and the passive suits together.

The Swords turn on [...] The SevensIn this series, we’ve been looking at numerological meanings and how they play out with the various suits. It is fun to do, but in my opinion, it falls apart about now. I can never determine on a keyword that relates to the energy of the seven that also relates in some way to each [...] The SixesMany tarotists combine numerology with tarot.  Let’s consider the Sixes. Some words associated with the energy of the number Six are: harmony, balance restored, justice. By combining these ideas with the energy represented by the suit, we can see the meanings of the cards. Let’s look at these concepts with the following cards. Here we [...] Vote Now for Legacy of the Divine Tarot and Shadowscapes Tarot for Best Tarot Deck in 2011 About.com Readers’ Choice Awards!Ciro Marchetti’s Legacy of the Divine Tarot and Shadowscapes Tarot from Stephanie Pui-Mun Law and Barbara Moore are among the Best Tarot Decks for the 2011 About.com Readers’ Choice Awards!

Traditionally, this card was called The Lover and showed a young man who looked as if he were choosing between two women…young and pretty or not-so-pretty but more well-to-do. Although now we call it the Lovers and speak of relationships, with others [...] The FoursIn tarot, we often see the numbers as representing specific energy. As we mentioned in the Emperor, fours represent stability, or taken to a negative extreme, stagnation. Each of the suits in tarot also represents a specific energy. The Wands and Swords are active energy while the Cups and Pentacles are passive energy. It is [...] MEET THE BLOGGERS
