The Tarot of Sam

  Saturday, November 30, 2024: Today I pulled The Tower. It's a scary card but as much as it is a card of destruction, it's also a card of liberation! The Tower tears down walls and clears room for new growth. I am invoking The Star. The Star follows The Tower. May something awesome arise from the rubble of destruction.  – As always when I speak of life, love and Tarot I speak only for myself. Tower is from The Modern Love Tarot, by Ethony The Star is from The Light Seer’s Tarot, by Chris Anne

Friday, November 29, 2024: Today I pulled Justice. As Martin Luther King said, “The Arc of the Moral Universe is Long, But it Bends Toward Justice.” I am invoking the Seven of Pentacles. This seven can be seen as impatience and anxiety about the future. It calls for patience. Change can be evolutionary rather than revolutionary.  – As always when I speak of life, love and Tarot I speak only for myself. Justice is from The Modern Love Tarot, by Ethony The Seven of Pentacles is from the Druid Craft Tarot Deck, by Philip and Stephanie Carr-Gomm, Illustrated by Will Worthington.

Today I pulled the Seven of Pentacles. This is a card that is a contradiction of sorts, the seven in the Major Arcana is the Chariot and yet the element of Earth is represented in Pentacles. This seven can be seen as impatience and anxiety about the future. It calls for patience. Change can be evolutionary rather than revolutionary. I am invoking Justice in the hope that change, when it comes, does bring Justice.  – As always when I speak of life, love and Tarot I speak only for myself. The Seven of Pentacles is from The Modern Love Tarot, by Ethony Justice is from the Druid Craft Tarot Deck, by Philip and Stephanie Carr-Gomm, Illustrated by Will Worthington.  

   Wednesday, November 27, 2024: Today I pulled the 2 of Swords. I often call this the "shit or get off the pot" card. It's a call to make a choice between two paths. This resonates with me right now. I am invoking The High Priestess. I am seeking wisdom navigating emotions and choices.  – As always when I speak of life, love and Tarot I speak only for myself. The Two of Swords is from The Modern Love Tarot, by Ethony The High Priestess is from the Druid Craft Tarot Deck, by Philip and Stephanie Carr-Gomm, Illustrated by Will Worthington.

Today I pulled The Page of Wands. To me this card represents tapping into your power and learning how to use it. I am applying that energy to our trip to Costa Rica. I am invoking the “Every Journey Starts With a Single Step” oracle card.  – As always when I speak of life, love and Tarot I speak only for myself. The Page of Wands is from The Modern Love Tarot, by Ethony The “Every Journey Starts With a Single Step” oracle card is from The Sacred Rebels Oracle, by Anna Fairchild, Artwork by Autumn Skye  

Monday, November 25, 2024: Today I pulled the Three of Swords. This card is about heartbreak. Heartbreak and loss is a part of life. It hurts. Suffering is called a noble truth. I am invoking the Empress. This card is sometimes called The Mother. The threes are cards of victory and defeat — the mother is there through all of that as we learn. -- As always when I speak of life, love and Tarot I speak only for myself.  The Three of Swords is from The Modern Love Tarot, by Ethony. The Empress is from The Tarot of the Hidden Realm by Julia Jeffrey and Barbara Moore.

  Sunday, November 24, 2024: Today I pulled The King of Wands. For me this card represents a person who is in touch with his power and know how to use it efficiently to maximum effect. I am invoking the "Be the hunter not the hunted" oracle card. This approach to power invokes wisdom. It's easy to let my defenses down especially when I am feeling overwhelmed. Times like these require wisdom and situational awareness. -- As always when I speak of life, love and Tarot I speak only for myself.  The King of Wands is from The Modern Love Tarot, by Ethony. The “Be the hunter not the hunted” oracle card is from The Sacred Rebels Oracle, by Anna Fairchild, Artwork by Autumn Skye.

Today I pulled the High Priestess (HP). The HP shows me the path. This is urgent. I am invoking the Moon. The Moon invites me, dares me, to walk the path, the path within. That path is a dance with my shadow. The path leads inside, through our darkest places, as the Charge of The Goddess says, "the seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery: for if that which you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without." -- As always when I speak of life, love and Tarot I speak only for myself.  The High Priestess is from The Modern Love Tarot, by Ethony. The Moon  is from The Next World Tarot, by Cristy C.

Click Photo To Enlarge Do Not Self Oppress It has been a long time since I have posted and I have felt my power atrophy.  The election plus time has not been easy and that plus not claiming my power has caused it to start slipping away. Well, I am back! Today I pulled the Six of Wands. To me this card from this deck speak of valor. It's about facing adversity head on and forging ahead with what you got. "If your nerve deny you go above your nerve," Emily Dickinson writes. It's about knowing you only live once. There's power in that. Revolution seems right now that the fascists are winning. If we stand back and let them they will. Therefore, I am invoking Revolution! -- As always when I speak of life, love and Tarot I speak only for myself.  The Six of Wands is from The Modern Love Tarot, by Ethony. Revolution  is from The Next World Tarot, by Cristy C.
