This week I'll be using the Nigel Jackson Tarot, created by Jackson and published by Llewellyn. I'll also be using the Viking Lenormand, created and self-published by my talented friend Carole Beasley. The draws this morning are the Ace of Coins and Garden:
The Ace of Coins suggests substance (concrete things) and sensation (the information from our senses). Aesop warns us to not spend too much time in our minds - fantasizing, ruminating, or contemplating abstract ideas - because we might unintentionally lose what is in the here and now. Garden usually makes us think of the outdoors. Yet there's a big difference in being outside at a birthday party with 15 rowdy kids or doing yard work versus simply sitting in the quiet and paying attention. Nature captures all of our senses, whether a bird's song or a breeze, helping us to slow down and see with a full heart.
I have no knowledge of the Viking Lenormand, but Carole’s artwork is lovely, really well done. I have several Lenormand decks, maybe 10 or 12. I’ve always loved Nigel’s decks, he has a nice rune deck as well. (J)
ReplyDeleteNigel does have lovely decks. Carole is an artist in Australia who can draw or paint things so realistically, they could be a photo. She self published this deck briefly through Printer Studio.
