Deck Creators’ Creative Processes

Recently, Theresa Reed, otherwise known as The Tarot Lady and Author of the widely successful Tarot Coloring Book, asked me if I’d like to be interviewed for a post about tarot creators and their process. Of course, I jumped at the chance and said YES! I love talking creative stuff and sharing my process, and…

Love for the Orbifold!

Check out this awesome new review of the Orbifold Tarot on Aeclectic Tarot! The Orbifold Tarot is unlike any other tarot deck I’ve ever used, and for me, that’s a good thing.

Last January, I shared my personal Year Ahead Spread for 2016. Looking back at it, the trends it forecasted did not all come true in the ways I expected, but looking at the cards themselves in retrospect, they are mostly appropriate to my experience of the year. My year was quite good in many ways: 2016…

Turning the Wheel to 2017

Lovers’ Links — a Simple Love Meditation

In the interest of Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d explore a meditation based on the Orbifold Tarot’s Lovers card, which can be done as a devotional practice for your lover or deity, as a couple to be done together, or as a single person for some good old self-love 🙂 To begin, let’s look at…

Looking into 2016 with The Orbifold Tarot

This variation of the many year ahead forecasts uses the deck’s three sections for a distinct purpose each — a Major for the overall theme of the year, 4 Courts for the quarterly themes, and 12 Minors for a monthly breakdown:

***Major Update***

The wait is almost over! I have been working very hard through many technical difficulties (I could never have imagined such a simple deck would be so tough to produce!). After all the delays and challenges, I finally made the difficult decision to change printers. It was the best decision, however, the resulting deck will…

It’s coming …
