Learning Focus of the Season

In the magical blogsphere I keep coming across more and more references to Heathenism and
Ásatrú. I know only rudimentary things about who the deities are in that pantheon, but it has me wanting to know more about the traditions of the North. Not saying I'm going to jump ship and start believing in that path, but I think the time is right to learn about it. It's just one more topic to fill my mind with.

On a secondary note, my study of tarot has been slow, but productive. I gave another reading this week and was better able to interpret the cards. It also made me really happy when my boyfriend popped in during the middle and stated how the Tarot is one of the few metaphysical things he actually puts stock in. Score.

It's in the Cards

My tarot spread from 2-12-13

The tarot has been calling to me as of late. My deck does not like lying dormant. And it seems to be asking me to learn more about it.

I will be the first to admit I am a VERY novice tarot reader. Yet, the cards have always been accurate and on the spot for whomever I've done a reading for, including myself. I don't view the cards as a foretelling of the future, but rather as a reflection of that moment in a person's life. They give insight to what is going on and help one to sort out any decisions they have to make.

I've been seeing tarot everywhere I go. From one of my favorite blogs, Moon and Shadow, to a new app on my iPhone, to books I have been rereading. And the card that keeps turning up is the Wheel of Fortune. This is also why I want to learn more about the tarot. When a Trump card keeps popping up, one should pay attention to the lesson it is trying to convey.
