Beagle shenanigans with tarot cards

January 8, 2022January 11, 2022 Writer of Words, etc

The other day I tried to entice my daughter to select some tarot cards, just to pull her off her screens for a bit.

“Na,” she said. 😐

Ugh. This endlessness of lockdown will be the end of us all. I bet the kids will be the next thing to mutate, into robots probably. 👾🤖

Anyway, I didn’t know what to do to excite her away from the screens. I thought a bit, then suggested we get Tucker involved.

“Let’s get Tucker to pull a card,” I proposed and immediately regretted speaking those words out loud.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? 😬

YouTube sound checks – can you hear me?

December 20, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

I loaded a whole bunch of very short clips in the past two days to my Tarot Snippet playlist on my YouTube channel. Today’s is just over a minute long.

The clips with my daughter Sonja in it are quite short too… anyway, if you watch them, might adjust the sound, she makes some ~~irritating~~ funny noises in some of them… (lol)

Reflections on Labour Day Monday, in preparation for Tarot Tuesday

After a morning of this and that, I sat down on my new deck in mid-afternoon and pulled some tarot cards.

Tarot Tuesdays – Wand cards, and an announcement

August 10, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

I mentioned in this video that I pulled some wand cards the other day.

So first, I had this deep, long chat with a friend. I wanted to sit down and make some notes but yada yada it didn’t happen right away. Before I walked away from everything to exercise I took my deck of tarot cards and shuffled while asking this question:

“How do I re-center myself so I can focus on my tasks?”

Two of the three cards that appeared were the Seven of Wands and the Ace of Wands. (The third was the High Priestess but I will leave her this time.)

Tarot Supplement – Irritated about The Lovers card

July 25, 2021July 25, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

Disclaimer: I am not religious, and my observations and interpretations of this somewhat religious tarot card may sound a little crass to those of you who follow a deeply Christian worldview. Comments are welcome but will be blocked if they attack or otherwise offend me or my readers.

***

The Lovers card in upright position in the classic tarot deck irritates me. At least at first glance.

Tarot Supplement – The Judgement card

July 22, 2021July 22, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

The Judgement is a Major Arcana card and appears right before the final card The World in the tarot deck.

I drew this card along with The King of Swords and The Lovers in reverse, both of which deserve their own analysis.

In this post, I will analyze the Judgement card, and see how it applies to life.

A new day

July 22, 2021July 22, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

I’m on the path of descending into a discombobulated state of mind so I drew some tarot cards this morning.

While shuffling, my predominant though was how I was going to get through the rest of the week.

A tribute to blogger friendships

July 20, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

When I first started blogging, my now-16-year-old son was a baby. I’m on my third blog (and I have a fourth one in which I publish erotic fiction), so I’ve been around the block a few times when it comes to WordPress. Ha.

So it won’t be anyone’s surprise that I have made a few friends along the way.

Onwards

July 12, 2021July 12, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

On this Monday morning, after a few less-than-pleasant wake-ups by smelly puppy and later an attack by muddy puppy paws, I took my tarot card deck, shuffled it, and asked myself the following question (while shuffling):

A quick update and some questions for you

June 22, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

I have two half-posts ready for Tarot Tuesdays but they sound odd. They are not ready to publish. I may skip this week and get back to my scheduled Tuesday series next week.

I also have another post almost ready where I complain about a comment Penny made on The Big Bang Theory. It hit a nerve. Allow me to give you a glimpse: old people are ugly.

Ya… no. I’m not in the right mood to address this comment today. 😛

AND, I have a lovely photo post almost ready to publish describing my first venture out to lunch at an outdoor patio. That happened last week when I spent six days with mom in the suburbs. On a whim, we decided to go to the old part of town and have pizza. They renovated the entire downtown along the Lakeshore, and it was really cute to go wander around and find a place to have lunch after the excruciating 16+ months of being locked up like inmates.
