Carnival of the Tarot – Seventeenth Edition
It’s been another busy week here at the Willow Tree household. Cranky cats, exhausted spouses, and sinus headaches abound. Not to mention car repair and noisy neighbors being among the major distractions. Egads, when will life resume it’s lazy pace and allow me to pick up the cards again?
Seriously though, we have been very busy with life’s demands. I’m hoping to resume regular posting in the coming week. We will see what Saturn has planned for us, and if he will allow us a moments leisure to do so.
But we are fortunate to have two excellent entries for our Carnival this week.
Tarot Dame shares a good example of using intuition in reading Tarot in Demotion of Cards in a Reading.
97Stranger offers an example of expanded meanings of one of the Rainring Cards in The Patriarch at Rainring: post-tarot psychological cards.
That concludes this edition. Thank you for joining us this week.
Help take the Carnival of the Tarot ‘on the road’. If you are interested in hosting a future Carnival on your own blog, let me know what Sunday you would like to do so. If you have any questions about hosting the Carnival yourself, please ask. It is a good way to drive traffic to your site, and to share your work with other people.
Tyger! Tyger! Burning Bright
It’s been a busy week. I’m getting the Carnival ready to publish. But while I was perusing the web this afternoon, I found this weirdly beautiful little film inspired by William Blake’s poem The Tyger. I thought I’d share it with you.
Carnival of the Tarot – Sixteenth Edition
Welcome to the newly revived Carnival of the Tarot. As the still sleepy Carnival yawns and stretches, rubs it eyes and sips it’s morning tea, I want to take a moment to thank all contributors for supporting the Carnival with their wonderful entries this week. I also want to thank my readers for being so patient while waiting for the return of the Carnival, and for their continued support of this website during our recent hiatus.
So, without further delay, let’s begin this week’s Carnival.
Gary Vasey presents some insights into the Fool card in Playing the Fool at Asteroth’s Domain.
Apo presents some different thoughts on reading for oneself in The Most Important Person in a Reading..You! posted at 104etal’s Weblog.
Albert Decker presents Oedipal shmoedipal posted at Resonant Enigma. In which it seems a single Tarot card has inspired some lovely art and poetry.
From O-where you can view some images from Traumzeit-Tarot and read some insights into one of the Major Arcana cards from that deck.
That concludes this edition. Thank you for joining us this week.

The Fool Returns
Well, I only intended to put the Carnival of the Tarot on hiatus, but apparently I decided to put the entire site on hiatus without even realizing it. The subconscious can be a trickster that way, and I guess I needed a break and some time to think, reflect and recharge my batteries. I apologize for being absent so long. But I have returned and I am ready to get on with things.
The next Carnival of the Tarot is scheduled for this Sunday, January 13th. However I have only received one entry so far. I would love to get a few more to make it a nice comeback, so please consider entering something you’ve written. I would be grateful.
I have not touched my cards more than twice since the last time I wrote. I have been very distracted by other areas of my life, and Tarot was simply set aside for a time. I’m hoping to begin a daily practice once again, and to share my interpretations here when there is something worth sharing.
I plan on offering free readings to help me get back ‘in shape’ with my cards. I will post details here soon. If you are interested in a free reading, please check back soon to learn the details.
Thank for your patience while I was away, and for the encouragement and friendship expressed both in the comments and in emails. It’s good to be back.
