How Existing Is Tarot To Us?

Today, I won't be sharing much about any deck but rather, I'd like to share some 'snippets' I'd managed to get from here and there whenever I'm available to do so. I still call them snippets as it was what we used to do when we were still in school..when we would see something interesting on the newspaper and would cut them up and paste them in relevant topics' scrapbooks or something..but now we hardly do that anymore, do we? Anyhow, let's get into my topic of the day. "How Existing Is Tarot To Us?" is perhaps just about any question everyone would have asked when they're first exposed to tarot. Here's some articles that you might want to research on if you're always doubting Tarot and its existence in the heart of many..and I'm proud to mention that even my Chakra mentor- Tzu-Chen Lin is also a tarot reader and a well respected spiritual healer in over 19 countries worldwide.



Many had asked me, is it really true? I will always answer them, "How about you be the one to judge the level of truth in the cards yourself?" There was one client who had mentioned that her friend had come across fake readers and they're so afraid of getting another reading ever again. I do have to stress that all fellow tarot and oracle readers worldwide do worry about this issue but it's inevitable too..just like purchasing imitations of branded stuffs. The fake ones are constantly there as well as the real ones. It's just a matter of how well you can determine them to be cons, that is. Some of my students worry that they may not be good readers in time to come and I'll always ask them, "How do you determine you're not good enough if you haven't work on it thoroughly?" Almost anyone can learn to read, it's just how much efforts you're putting into learning and practicing it which determine you to be a good reader or otherwise and not to leave this important issue out too..'Each and every reader possesses different levels of reading accordingly so some may be able to tell you more while some a little lesser but bear in mind that the cards revealed are always related.' Quiet down and you'll eventually see how the puzzle is slowly forming pieces by pieces in your mind and you'll understand that there are no good or bad readers, just how much you needed to understand.

Goodies coming through~

Alright..I know I won't get to sleep without publishing them. Was it because the natural habit of a collector or was it just me anyway? Seriously, I've no idea..but they're just so delicate that you'll handle each one of them with the utmost care that any reader would..lolz~ anyway, here's the limelight of the day..actually, there are two..but I prioritize this deck more as this is an OOP deck. It was first released in 2007 in one of PS2's game called Baroque. This deck only has Majors. No Minors but I can assure you that this is one very special deck indeed..faint creepy picture in a picture? Now how's that?

How do you find this deck~? It's Llewellyn's 2010's edition too. Thanks to Hassig, the deck and book's damage-free. Shadowscapes Tarot, for lovers of gentle and wavy artwork..the first impression which this deck had given me was the similarity of Paulina's and The Dream Enchantress. Soft and gentle yet strong in expressing the details creatively..another goodie, isn't it? Come to think of goodies, I think my jaw would have dropped to my feet if Beatrice was to display her lots..she's got even more exquisite goodies than I do.

I was absent on May...and I just realized that..

Oh, dear..reviewing my previous posts, I came to realize I was absent from here on May and I'm trying to remember what I'd been up to till I forget to come here..anyway, for some updates..
one of my current favorites: Initiatory Tarot Of The Golden Dawn..awfully beautiful~ and The High Priestess was also on the publisher's Catalogs..just like The Dream Enchantress..





Next, this is Victoria Frances' work of art..I'd been waiting years for its availability and thanks to my European publisher, they're finally here and I'm loving every bit of it. The only limitation which I do have to agree with the other ATers is that it's quite plain when it comes to the Minors. If the Minors were further magnified, I think it would have been an exquisite must-have deck for readers of all range!





To the left here's Luis Royo's Labyrinth, also one of the many decks which I had been waiting for so long..the borders are bronze in color, to be exact..but some might simply see it as brown. However, I do have to remind that this deck has its World in position 22 instead of 21. Luis Royo's also a very talented artist. The artwork's magnificent!






Okay~the last one I have here today's Crowley Thoth's deck. A favorite to many and also one of the many famous decks available. This is the small version. It has some other versions including a gift set. For those who'd like to purchase this deck as a gift, you might want to consider it's gift set. This small set does come with two extra Magus, so it's up to each and every reader to choose their own Magus. Suitable for tarot group studies as well~ That it for today and I'll be coming up with more goodies on my next post. Many thanks to Hassig and Beatrice..

For Nickigirl's view..

Yes, double confirmed and I do have the picture with me...So~I'm loading it up for your view while you consider this deck. I was in fact, already fascinated with this deck even before it was released. Check out the picture and see if you like it.

In addition to my recent posts...a little something about others around me...

I'm proud to be learning a little more a day from a friend who's a great Feng Shui master lately as we've been exchanging lots of views every now and then regarding divination, fortune telling, types of oracles and impacts of elemental energy towards each individual. We'll soon be able to provide a detailed report for all Asians where elemental issues are concerned with each individual or the matching and compatibilities for couples. I do have to salute this friend of mine as he's really one outstanding master when I put him and the masters I've came across these years together. His student is also another excellent individual whom I'd come to respect as his student is also a tarot mentor who's very responsible towards the learning stages of each and every of his student and he guides them very well too..gives me a little feeling of the likeliness of 'The Hermit' when we're lost at times and needed some guidance somewhere here and there. Anyway, I hope individuals from all walks of life will be able to gain many, many more wisdom out of tarot, oracle and divination of all sorts..not just mere fortune telling about their lives...but also to learn how to rectify their situations if need be and be a better person whom they had always wanted to be. My friend will soon be setting up his new branch in Austin areas and I'm quite excited about his branch too. I will, of course be popping by whenever I'm available and in here, I have an advance wish for him and his branch: "May your world of energies work their way to the benefits of you and every one of your clients. Congratulations~!"

The last few of my 2010 updates..

Below shown are decks provided by the American publisher. There are tarot related decks, oracle decks as well as inspirational decks for individual or couples. Hope you'll like it and for any orders or further details regarding them, please do not hesitate to email me.

2010's tarot & oracle decks release (continued)..

There's some more coming up...

2010's Latest Tarot Decks Release.

My apology for such a late update. Have been a little busy with some of my email tarot readings and some other trivial stuffs during my absence here. Anyhow, I managed to sort out the new releases for your views. Write in to me for orders or pre-orders if you'd like. More coming up after these few decks...

Something a little more to the decent...

Well, for some who find the erotic decks a little bit difficult to be accepted, here's some oracle decks that might interest you then...

As you can see here, these are relationship cards and each deck consist of 54 inspiring cards that help to address matters of the heart with startling insight and clarity. Easy to use and you can also choose to use it together with your partner. Sharing on what you're trying to clarify in your relationship can sometimes help to create a stronger bond between both parties for deeper understanding.








This is the Lovers Oracle, featuring evocative messages to inspire love and help guide you on your most intimate relationships. A total of 44 cards stored nicely and neatly in a heart-shaped box.















Universal love is inspired by the universal healing energy of Reiki. Some of you who have experiences with Reiki healing will probably know its benefits. It's one of the many types of healing methods which we can opt for according to each and every one of our own preferences. This deck consist of 45 cards and a 48-page book as reference to users.













Anyhow, if you're looking to order these decks or anything from my previous posts, email me for full details. A quote for this special month, "Loving oneself and learning to love others more each day bears an accomplishment far more greater than just being loved by others." Happy Valentines Day in advance to all~

A little something for this month...

Let's see...during this February, what's probably filling the air? Love, love, and probably more love~ this issue's probably a little stingy to those who're still single or had fallen out of love but here's a word of encouragement: Don't lose heart...as long as you're loving yourself like how you should, there will be many more who'd love you just as much. Anyway, the picture that you're viewing over the left is the pentacle of love. It is said to be promising to the wearer for success where it comes to love issues. For those who'd always fall out of love and feeling kind of out of place where love matters, perhaps this might draw in some love strength for you.

Over here is the pentacle of planet Venus, also worn to draw in loving strength. This pendant has two different sides while the one above only has the same pentacle for both sides of the pendant. It's up to each individual's preferences where it comes to wearing which one's better.





This is called The Talisman Of Love. It is also said to be able to bring the wearer fruitful outcomes where love is concern. Usually worn by those who're seeking love as well as those who are already in a relationship, just to further secure the bond between them and their partners.





Hmm~how about some erotic decks to stimulate your readings? This is certainly one very tempting deck to seduce your partner into some naughty reading, I suppose? Decameron, suitable for adults' collection.










How about a Casanova deck? Frankly speaking, this was also the very first erotic deck which caught my eye when I first saw it...but I'd suggest to keep these decks for your own use rather than doing a public reading using it. It'll probably draw on lots of attention from others sitting around. Don't you agree?








Last but not least, a deck by Milo Manara! Maybe some individuals will find these decks disturbing where it comes to serious readings. So, each to his/her own preferences. These are just a few of my suggestions to spice up your love life this very month. They're actually great to be part of your collection if you're a collector. There are actually some other oracle decks which I'd like to introduce too but perhaps I'll leave them till my next post. For now, have a little bit of eye feast on these first. After all, we do have to learn to love ourselves better in order to be loved by others, agree?

Wishing you a better year in 2010.

Though I may be a little extra late to send in my wishes but I still want to wish everyone here a great new year ahead with many good returns from past efforts put in. For some, perhaps the last year had been a great one. If so, keep up the good spirits with this year! For those who'd been through quite a rough patch last year, don't be disheartened~hopes are always given when you're open to them..especially if we're the ones who are giving ourselves hopes for a better year. Gambateh~! As time passes by, I am also having more accessories for your views. Enjoy an eye feast, if my accessories can satisfy you...

On the left here is a talisman used to protect one from harm, called the Dragonshield. Exquisitely designed and carefully handmade to make the talisman presentable, at the same time working its purpose on each and every wearer. On the right here, is the Pentacle Of Solomon. It is also worn in purposes of protection towards harm and evil. It is said that the most evil spirit cannot endure the power of this pentacle. Solomon is said to be one great Magician when he ruled the kingdom. Below here on the left is The Secret Seal Of Solomon. Wearer of this talisman will be protected from any evil presence and negative influences. And~the last one I have here for protection purposes is The Sigil Defense. Combining two Ancient Symbols of Protection: a pattern providing Protection, and the three armed Spirals, as well as eight Magical of the Angels, all interlocked in one original design to create a powerful Shield of Protection. The eight patterns around the outside of this amulet are believed to hold the Magical power of Confusion over an enemy's mind; creating the opportunity to either Attack or Defend. Luaithrindi translates as: the center of the circle where Heaven and Earth meet. This glyph's power is evident from its placement upon numerous Warrior's helmets, shields, and swords found by archeologists all over the World. Starting at any symbol, one can follow a symbolic Labyrinth - a maze where Infinite Life Paths are presented to us. Following the labyrinth you will find four Triple Spirals representing the Weavers of Divine Fate; - the Three Goddesses: Clotho, [the Spinner], Lachesis [drawer of lots], and Atropos [the inevitable] who weave the thread of each person's Destiny. It is believed each person is a center point of light(reminds me a little more or less on Kabalah) and that their radiating Light interacts with the light of those of others around to complete; of interconnected life force within your community. This notion that human fate was spun around a person at birth by divine Spinners was popular in Greek mythology, poetry, and literature. In the circle at the center of the design are the Seals of the Seraphim(The first of the nine orders of Angels in medieval angelology.)These symbols provide Magical Angelic Protection as well as help enhance Spiritual Growth. It is told that these Angelic seals were revealed to King Solomon as an avenue of guidance in his Magical Kabala. When these symbols are used, the Seraph (a Celestial Being having three pairs of wings) who is associated with the particular symbol is bound by their Seal to help the individual in need. The symbols are from an ancient Magical script called Writing of the Angels and translate as:The Severe Justice of Almighty God, God of Victory, will Protect (the wearer).

There will be more coming up, be it for love, prosperity, health, planetary, runic or just pure beauty of the pendants for normal wearing purposes. Hmm~maybe some Egyptian pendants will catch a few more glances too? Lastly, I want to thank Zack, one of the makers, for the kind efforts put in to make every piece of these so wonderful to be owned by talisman and pendant lovers all around and to Chris, get well soon..Oh, not forgetting that these talismans are made of pewter too. I will let you know if the accessories are of pewter, silver or 14K gold when you mail me.
