So, this morning, as with every Saturday morning for the past nine months (wow, a full pregnancy!!), I made my way down to the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock to read my cards. It was a nice drive and all, despite being a bit nippier than usual.
What happens when I get there? A full bloody three readings!! Usually after 11.00 things pick up and I can put away a few readings, but today was one of those Saturdays where, besides the weather being up to fluff, everyone and his dog decided today's the day to stay in bed.
UGH!! Disgusted much!?

First post - Howzit, guys?
Ok, so greetings and general salutations from the mind of Me!
This is my first post and hopefully the first of very many.
So, this week has involved me being aged around thirty years and shown the possibility of having no hair. Why? All for the sake of a make-up exam. My sister and I both volunteered to sit as models for a make-up student at a friend's college, and while my dear little sister has stunning make-up applied, I get to wear a latex bald cap and crépe beard. Not an easy thing to remove once the glue's set, let me tell you!
Right, so my path on life has involved tarot to greater or lesser degrees over the past ten or so years (I started reading at the age of fourteen). I have never once regretted my first steps down the path of cartomancy, not even when I was at my most religiously lost. As such, I want to teach tarot (anyone interested?) and not only read it. A friend also suggested we start living tarot - how do I do that? To each person it's a different style of "tarot life", so mine will be made clear to me when the time is right, I believe. One example of a tarot life is a very good friend who will not read the cards for anyone, yet is a very good teacher, and seems to fill her schedule with lessons and courses. I love that about her. Do you know how it shocks people to find out she doesn't read? I know I was very surprised :)
So, I drew two cards that I'm haveing some trouble with. I drew them both from one of the new members of my tarot family, Lo Scarabeo's Tarot Art Nouveau (the other is the classical Morgan-Greer Tarot). Here are the cards:
Key XIV: Temperance: on her own she stand for moderation, recovery, serenity, harmony;
Knave of Chalices: He stands for jealousy, extreme affection
Taking the traditional meaning of Key VIX into consideration, the first thing that came to mind was that I was jealous over my independence. Now, since theis Temperance card does not follow the traditional interpretations, how does she apply to the Knave's jealousy? Another thought that whispered through my head is that mayhap I'm jealous of the harmony and serenity I see in others. I don't know; I've never found it easy to read my own cards, except when I don't try. Who has an idea on how to read this?
Drawing a card for everyone I know, the King of Wands comes up: entrepeneurial skill, austerity and advice from someone mature and authoritative. Listen to the stories of your elders. I think we'll be surprised at how helpful and advisory their tales can be.
