YouTube video by Sibyl's Lab of Cartomantics A Ph.D. Defends Tarot - 3 Serious Arguments | 3 Smart Decks

I really enjoyed this video from Sibyl's Lab of Cartomantics. It resonates with how I approach readings and how (and why) tarot works

-What personal gifts do I have to offer my community?
-How can I shift from anxiety into action?
-What efforts will be the most effective in making change?
-How can I cause good trouble?
-How can I get out of my comfort zone?
-What mischief can I cause today? (2/2)

What do you ask?

Tarot is often relegated to the realm of personal development, manifestation, and future-telling. I use tarot for those things, too. But don't stop there.

Tarot can help you take action for your community, country, and world. Some questions to ask your cards... (1/2)

I'm not telling you your future. I'm helping you build it.

Lessons from Tarot: The Tower

The cover of Spreads for Rebellion mini zine features a tarot card with raised fists as the art. Mini zines are easy to fold from a single piece of paper. They fit in the palm of your hand.

All profits from sales of this mini zine will be donated to one of these organizations: American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Southern Poverty Law Center, Acacia Center for Justice, Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.

The mini zine has six interior pages. They are full of questions to ask your cards and spreads to help you get active, join community, and use your voice and talents for good.

My newest tarot mini zine, "Spreads for Rebellion", is ready for download. These spreads help you get active, join community, and use your talents for good.

All profits will be donated. I'm focusing first on Immigrant Law Center of MN & Acacia.

When you talk about what's happening here, remember that it doesn't matter if the people being abused are citizens or not.

They are people.

For some folks, that may matter. It may be the only thing that gets them to care. Use that to your advantage, but never forget that it doesn't matter.

(3/3)

-Contact your elected officials. Tell them what's happening here. Demand they don't fund ICE
-Share fundraisers with people in your circle who have money to donate
-Amplify Minnesota creators who are posting about this community crisis

Three Empress Cards from different tarot decks. The decks are: The Maddonni Tarot, Il Naibi di Giovanni Vacchetta, and The Rainbow Tarot

Lessons from Tarot: The Empress

"I rebel against unloving things."

Don't take this lesson to mean all things sugar and no spice. When you truly love, you step up for the tough love, too. You step up for the grief. You see humanity in others (even the most challenging others).

#tarotsky

Tarot is a tool for intentional living. Instead of asking what will happen to you, ask what you can do to create a life you love. The cards contain so much wisdom if you let them speak to you.

Eight cards from the Tarot Maddonni printed in 1981 by Grimaud. They feature a pastel color palette and surrealist pen and ink drawings.

I have always been interested in vintage decks but didn’t know where to start. When I saw the gorgeous Tarot Maddonni I knew what to do

It’s such cool art!

The Three of Cups from Tarot del Fuego features three cups stacked on top of one another. Leaves and a red flower are in the bowls of the cups.

What does my Inner Artist need this week? Community

Spend time with your Inner Artist. Prioritize time creating. Invite crafty friends over to do art together. Bring your Inner Artist into your non-art world.

I found out about another great organization in Minnesota that I'm also donating to: MIRAC (Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee)

There's a lot going on in the Twin Cities to give me hope. But there's a huge need for legal defense and mutual aid right now. Trying to do what I can 💔

It seems especially important right not to know who you're supporting and who you're getting a reading from. So this is me...

I'm Nancy at Hidden Magic Tarot. I'm an art witch and tarot reader. I am a white, cis, queer woman from the American Midwest (Minnesota). I believe Black lives matter, trans rights are human rights, science is real, no human is illegal, there is no binary, abortion is healthcare, and land back is the best way forward.

I practice "low woo" spirituality, mixing the folk practices of my Italian American family and upbringing in the Roman Catholic Church, with my atheism and animism. I believe spiritual paths should be a route to liberation.

And one last thing, in case it wasn't already abundantly clear...FGT and F**K ICE

I'm from Minnesota and doing what I can to help.

Profits from my readings are going to MIRAC MN, Acacia Center for Justice, or the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.

The quote: "It broke my heart, but it fixed my vision."

The Tarot Spread: Card 1: How can I regulate my nervous system and get back to strength? Card 2: How can I connect with community? Card 3: What does my Inner Rebel need? Card 4: How can I move my anger and grief toward action? Card 5: Where can I place my efforts for maximum impact?

I originally developed this spread after the last election. I think it's helpful again after recent events. Sending love and strength to my fellow Minnesotans

My Card of the Year altar (to the Devil) includes crystals, sigil cards, an obsidian gargoyle, and The Devil card from the Rider Waite Smith deck

My card this year is The Tower. My Theme is "align".

Today, I'm wrapping up my Devil Year (theme: deviate).

I'm taking down my Card of the Year Altar to The Devil & recording the big lessons and changes from the year.

I'm so grateful for my Devil year & excited for my Tower to begin!

YouTube video by CGP Grey Your Theme

Instead of New Year's Resolutions, I do a Theme of the Year. It's a single word that acts as a compass, a guide, a challenge all year long. This video from CGP Grey is a great intro to using a Theme: youtu.be/NVGuFdX5guE?...

I base my Theme on my Personal Tarot Card of the Year. (1/2)
