DAILY RESIDUE: A Cartomancy Journal
Pandora Cards
Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 10:44 pm
I was digging through my box of older and less-used decks when I came across this tiny one called Pandora Cards. I can no longer remember where I got it from, but I must have bought it close to 20 years ago judging by the decks it was stored with. It was almost like seeing it for the first time! I was honestly confused when I came upon it… lol. It’s definitely a quirky one though…
It’s published by U.S. Games in 1989 and created by Richard A. Blake and Louise Janitsch Blake. The blurb on the side of the box says, The First Steps to Overcoming Problems. I tried doing a search on it but didn’t have much luck. According to Amazon, it’s out of print. I guess it didn’t do very well?
The Daily Approach with Tarot
Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 02:08 am
Jalyn commented on one of my Tarot daily draws a while back, asking about how I usually approach my daily readings so I thought I’d talk about it a little here.
I love doing daily draws whenever time allows me to do so, because it always helps me connect with the cards in new and different ways even after so many years. Like many others, I admit that it used to be a hit or miss thing back when I first started doing them. Sometimes they were immediately obvious while other times I couldn’t make heads or tails out of them. But it was a learning process and I eventually realized that I was approaching it all wrong.
The thing is, daily draws (more so than general readings) are quite personal in how it applies to you. Some people see them as a general theme going on in their lives at the time, some as specific events that play out during the day, while others see the cards as a larger message they need to pay attention to at that point in time. At the end of the day, though, it’s all about figuring out what works for you and then connecting with your cards that way. Or some like to call it “training your cards” to deliver what you ask. :)
Below are just some of the ways and habits I’ve picked up along the years as to what I like to do for my Tarot daily readings, as well as a bit of an explanation on the spreads I like to use.
Updates and RSS Feed Issues
Posted on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 at 05:40 pm
Ah, it’s been a while since I’ve last updated. Things have just been so busy at work. I have been doing readings and jotting them down in my journal, but I just haven’t had the chance to do in-depth analyzing here on this blog. :( Several readings have been very insightful though (and also already confirmed), so I’m wondering if I should post them here and backdate them anyway for those who might be interested in seeing how the cards’ messages correlate with actual events that followed…
In any case, my RSS feeds seems to be acting quirky where it grabs any edits or updates I’ve made to a post and throw it up to the front in duplicates as though they’re new entries (??). So if any of you are noticing old entries repeating and appearing to the front and such, please excuse it.
Other than that, I’ve added updates to 2 readings- it was quite accurate and interesting to see how the cards have panned out:
- Lenormand Timing: Gentleman Incoming (Mar 19) - purely timing
- Lenormand Line of 9: About Work (Apr 1)
I know I still owe someone a post on the way I approached my daily Tarot, so I’ll get to that soon… I promise!
Lenormand Timing: Losing My Job Soon?
Posted on Thursday, April 09, 2009 at 12:10 am
As mentioned in the reading on the possibilities of me losing my job soon, I followed up with a timing reading. Two readings below. The first question is until when will I remain working at this company- no focus card chosen and using Sylvie’s no layout method of reading about time. I’m also going to stick to her timing interpretations on this one. I’m finding Treppner’s meanings and Sylvie’s meanings really different in terms of what each card represents for time, so it’s probably best not to merge the two.
The cards are 2 Clover + 5 Tree + 26 Book + 28 Man + 27 Letter
Reading About Work… Jobless Soon?
Posted on Wednesday, April 08, 2009 at 02:39 am
In the recent months, I had been getting an unsettling feeling regarding my job through changes happening at work and the vibes I’ve been getting from some of my Tarot cards plus the general Lenormand work reading I did. I haven’t actually given the subject a real reading yet though, so I decided to do one with the Lenormand cards. I’m going with Sylvie’s no layout method, but also incorporating a bit of how Chanah reads the Line of Nine. Initially, I wasn’t planning on using this many cards… but they really caught my attention so I left them in:
13 Child, 3 Ship, 20 Garden, 19 Tower, 35 Anchor, 25 Ring, 6 Cloud, 32 Moon, 8 Coffin
