Deck Interview - Deviant Moon Tarot

This deck interview was done with the Deviant Moon tarot, by Patrick Valenza.

This is one of my all time favourite decks - I have alot of them. If anyone were to look in my basket of tarot decks who didn't know me well, they would quickly diagnose me with multiple personality disorder! But I love having all these different type decks, because I love reading for different types of people.

The Deviant Moon deck is quirky and fun. Alot of people consider it a dark deck, but I don't find it dark at all. I find it to be brutally honest, with no holds barred. I'm a blunt person, so I relate well to this deck.

The Empress represents the most important characteristics of the Deviant Moon.

This deck relates well to females, even though I consider it a very masculine deck. It nurtures creativity in everyone who touches it.

The Star represents the strengths of the Deviant Moon as a deck.

This depicts the hopeful optimism and strength that absolutely radiates from the deck.

The 10 of Wands represents the limits of the Deviant Moon as a deck.

Because this deck is so brutally open, honest and direct, I often find myself expecting too much from it. It gives me everything I need from a reading, every time I use it.

The 7 of Cups represents what this deck is here to teach me.

The Deviant Moon constantly reminds me to use my imagination and creativity, and to maintain focus and listen to my inner voice. It's like a pat on the back from an old friend who knows you inside and out.

The Ace of Swords represents how I can best learn from / collaborate with the Deviant Moon deck.

All I have to do is use my inner strength and my intellect. The cards provide the rest!

The 8 of Pentacles represents the potential outcome of our working relationship.

It will be sheer perfection...We will have a long history together. Most of all, the relationship will be very enjoyable!

Deck Interview - The Paulina Tarot

I really enjoyed doing the new deck interview spread with the Sacred Rose tarot, so I thought I would do it with some of my older decks.

This one was done with the Paulina Tarot, by Paulina Cassidy. (I'm anxiously awaiting her new deck - Joie de Vivre tarot!)

The Paulina is one of my favourite decks. It's very feminine, and has the feel of old New Orleans. I've gotten amazing readings so far from this deck, and the deck interview went pretty much as I expected.

The 2 of Cups represents the most important characteristic of the Paulina.

This is very interesting, because the 2 of Cups is one of my favourite cards in any deck, and almost always shows up in readings that I do for myself, or that someone else does for me - along with The Lovers and Ace of Cups! The Paulina is telling me that her most important characteristic is her emotional bonding with the reader. I agree wholeheartedly!

The Ace of Pentacles represents the Paulina's strengths as a tarot deck.

She is brimming over with common sense, and her energy is inspirational.

The Sun is the card that is supposed to represent the limits of the Paulina as a deck.

The Paulina has NO limits.

The 10 of Wands represents what the Paulina is here to teach me.

She wants me to know that I cannot do everything, and cannot be everything to everyone. I take on too much at times, and she is here to teach me to recognize my own limits.

The Fool represents how I can best learn/collaborate with the Paulina!

As long as I remain open and receptive, we shall get along just fine. I can't think of a better card to draw in this position!

The Page of Pentacles represents the potential outcome of our working relationship together.

We will learn from each other and reach success together!

This will definitely be a deck that I will be using for a very long time to come. The Paulina is one of my favourites to do my own personal readings with, but I also rely on this deck for many of my female querents that she suits!

3 card daily draw

This daily draw is with the Tarot of the Sweet Twilight, by Cristina Benintende.

The 'card of the day' is the Knave of Swords. The message the knave brings is that I need to use caution in decision making today. I should make sure I know what I am committing myself to in advance. This card also indicates that a delay or unexpected news may be on the horizon.

The 'attend to this' card is the 6 of Chalices. This indicates that today is a good day to take a walk down memory lane. There may be things from my past that I need to deal with before returning home.

The 'what to look out for' card is the 10 of Wands. This is the second time this week this card has appeared in a daily reading for me. This card warns me to be careful in taking on more than I can handle, or biting off more than I can chew. I need to acknowledge that I cannot do everything, no matter how much I want to try.

3 card daily draw

Another 3 card daily draw from Tarot of the Sweet Twilight, by Cristina Benintende!

The Card of the day was the 10 of Wands. This card encourages me to reflect on self imposed burdens and expand my awareness as far as they are concerned. I have a tendency to make things harder on myself than they have to be. The 10 of Wands reminds me that I am in the final stretch of my journey - it's time to acknowledge this and take better care of myself and my health.

The card in the "attend to this" position was the 4 of Pentacles. This card is telling me that structure, organization and realistic planning are very important in my life at this time. I need to get myself back on track! This is something I've lost sight of over the past few months.

Today, the card that warns me of what I need to look out for was The Empress. She is telling me that I need to pay attention to my instinct as well as my rational thoughts...It is important that I don't allow one to override the other. And, as always, she is reminding me to share my feelings with those that I love!
