TAROT AS POETRY: MAURA’S PANTOUM
Originally posted on TAROFLEXIONS:
Some cartomantic folks like to use cards for poetic purposes. Such as finding inspiration for writing, or finding inspiration for how to live more poetically.

Tarot and the literary journey
I have recently received Camelia Elias’s book on the Marseille Tarot, Towards the Art of Reading, and am finding myself mentally, spiritually and emotionally invigorated and engaged with the cards.

I have been wanting a Marseille deck for a while, recently finding myself craving a more intuitive read, by intuitiveContinue reading “New purchases”
