What do you think about tarot cards? Oracle cards? They are very different but both require curiosity.

Having my cards read taught me there is A LOT to learn about tarot. But, it also showed me the different between oracle cards and tarot. At least a bit. I see oracle cards, of which I am working on a new set now to be published, as a visual to think about and apply to one's own life. A visual to journal about, meditate on. Like tarot cards, the seemingly negative cards can be positive!

what about you?

I love symbolic systems. My first tarot deck found me decades ago and I've received and given in person, over video in real time, recorded, and written readings. My niece loves it when I show up with my cards and will sometimes ask if she can "tell me stories" with them. She does so beautifully.

Tank you for chiming in, Chandler! How old is your niece? That is a wonderful thought.

I love the symbolic systems, too. The pictures are fascinating in (on?) different decks.

Hi Kim! Agree, so much rich and fascinating artwork from card to card, deck to deck. She’s in elementary school and likes to do storytelling with my John Baurer deck.

That sounds like a good old fashioned imagination muscle getting a good stretch! How wonderful! I'll bet she comes up with some really adorable stories.

Kids are so artistic and clever. They are relaxed and not worried what anyone will think...then they grow up....
