hi!! I'm a new tarot blog and was wondering if I could get a little shout-out? this is anon so people don't go to my main blog but I'm @festivefortunes. id really appreciate it!! thank you!

My person, I haven’t been on tumblr in ages. I’m a terrible person to solicit a shout out from.

I highly recommend against doing that, by the way: requesting shout outs, especially from people you haven’t interacted with before. The best way to get involved in a community, honestly, is to do the work of getting involved. Post in the tags. Start genuine conversation with folks in their inboxes. Reblog stuff and comment on it.

It makes me sound like a curmudgeon, I know.

Ok, time to leave tumblr again, I guess.

I dont have a witchy tumblr but if one wanted to get into tarot how would they go about it? Do you need like special talent?

1. No special talent needed, just a desire to learn. Books and just doing readings (dive right in, with a book in hand!) are your friends (or at least are mine bc those are the ways I learn best), or online courses like Little Red Tarot’s, etc.

Learning to read tarot is really just learning to read a new language/system of understanding the world...except it’s a symbolic, image based language. It takes study and practice. Some people pick it up faster than others, but that doesn’t make anyone better or worse.

My suggestion of a good beginners book that isn’t overwhelming is Kitchen Table Tarot. After that, to go deeper, 78 Degrees of Wisdom or Holistic Tarot. But again, that’s just me & my suggestions. All of this is assuming you’re interested in learning the English system of tarot, which is the Rider Waite Smith & Thoth decks. If you’re more interested in the French/European system (marseille tarot decks), then I have different suggestions.

2. Having a specifically tarot or witchy tumblr has no role in learning or not learning tarot. You do you! That said, joining some kind of community is also helpful for a lot of folks, like here on tumblr or IG or in person. I run meet up groups for tarot in my city, and spend a lot of time on IG now (verses tumblr, which I only venture back on to when I get a question like this).

Nonbinary November Tarot Challenge

I’ve been having such a great time doing @tarotprose’s amazing #MonthOfSpreads2 challenge that it inspired me to design another Tarot challenge to do in November.

As the holidays get closer, I tend to creep back toward the closet with regards to my gender. I throw on dresses more even when they make me uncomfortable and style my hair more like a pixie cut – not like the crew cut it is. I do this because I want the holidays to be fun and avoid conflict but the price I pay is not being fully myself in those moments. I wanted to set the tone but creating a challenge that helps me focus on my gender and being true to it even when the pressures of family and friends of friends make that hard.

Cis folks are welcome to participate. We all have complicated relationships with gender and how we perform it, even those who identify with their assigned gender. Examining it can help us unpack in what ways we uphold oppression too. Just know this challenge is created for trans folks, nonbinary ones in particular.

Use the hashtag #NonbinaryNovemberTarotChallenge

I’ll be randomly selecting 3 people who post their readings in that tag to win readings from me; one small (3-5 cards), one medium (6-8 cards), one large (10-14 cards). So the more you complete, the more likely you are to win. I’ll draw for the readings on December 4th so you’ll have a chance to catch up if you wish.

Complete the challenge at your own pace. Work ahead, skip days, catch up in a marathon session.

For brevity’s sake, prompts are below the cut. Happy Divining!

My favorite method to clarify a tarot meaning: spin the card.

Instead of pulling additional cards, I prefer to spin the unclear card on my tarot table. With my eyes closed, I then stop the card with my index finger. The detail my finger lands on clarifies the message. 🕯️

For example, let’s spin The Hermit from the Rider-Waite Smith!

My finger lands on the snow beneath him, emphasizing emotional isolation and detachment in the context of my reading. I now know which aspect of the card to focus on.

What I like about this method is that it allows the card to clarify itself, in its own voice.

The small details of our cards can speak loudly too.

Kitchen Table Tarot, by Melissa Cynova

This will be my new go-to recommendation when folks ask me about starting tarot. For some folks, tarot is a highly mystical experience, requiring ritual and song, candles and wall-hangings, crystals and gnomes. I respect that. Go for it. But for me, tarot’s always been a more mundane spiritual experience, one that notches into many spiritual beliefs and lifestyles. A conversation starter when people come to my house for the first time, or for connecting at the end of a long conference day. It’s just a way to dig into issues that you don’t otherwise know how to solve, celebrate the good parts of yourself, and connect with people in a way that digs deep beyond that odious poison, small talk. Cynova tackles the tarot with this same big-picture, no-nonsense approach. If you’re looking for a deep study of the cards’ history or an analysis of why the color blue appears on such card or a guide for how to spiritually dishwash the bad energy out of your cards, this isn’t the book for you; there are others that do that well. If you’re looking for an intuitive overview of how tarot might work for you and a pragmatic guide to learning the cards’ core meanings, this book is the one. It’s a warm, fast read with plenty of swearing, and I wish it could be bundled with every one of my tarot decks instead of the little one I wrote. It’s that good. Buy one for you and one for your best friend, and go through it together. A+
