On this New Years / Hogmanay Eve, another brilliant card comes to join us. It is the Eight of Vessels and instead of the mourning and the “walking away” we have in the RWS, we have a far more optimistic and joyful card and keyword. The keyword is “Rebirth” and as you can see from […]
Wildwood COTD : Major 21, The World Tree
Today we have another Major come up as our Card of the Day, which is the last of the Majors and a card full of hope and indications of changes. 2011 has personally been a challenging year and I am glad to see the back of it. I have so many hopes for 2012 and […]
Wildwood COTD : Major 16, The Blasted Oak
Welcome to the flip side of the Christmas break! We’ve still got Hogmanay to come, but for now, the madness that is Christmas / Candlemas / Yuletide or whatever name you give this part of the year, it is over. For another 360 odd days! So, what have we to learn from the Tarot at […]
Wildwood COTD : 4 of Bows
Today’s Card of the Day (and last until December 29th) is the Four of Bows, with the keyword of “Celebration”. Do I really need to elaborate on that keyword at this time of year? For some like me, this is a time of celebration and joy. Having children does that to you, for the main […]
Wildwood COTD : 8 of Stones
Today’s card if the day is the Eight of Stones, with the keyword of skill. As can be seen from the image, a man sits in a well lit cave, carving something useful out of stone. On the wall, high above the working man, is a clear hand-print. What does this signify? I have felt […]
Wildwood COTD : Major #8, The Stag
Today, the beat of nature booms loudly to us in the shape of The Stag, which is the eighth Major of this deck. As commented before, he would be Strength in RWS decks, but in this, he beats to the tune of nature. Today though, I have felt the urban beat far more! We’re “on […]
Wildwood COTD : King of Vessels
Today’s Card of the Day is the King Vessels, represented in this deck by the Heron. Heron’s are elusive birds and I’ve struggled to photograph the one that lives in the pond near where I live. But that’s a whole different story! For today, what advice can this card give? Herons, when they take flight, […]
Wildwood COTD : 2 of Vessels
Todays’ Card of the Day is the Two of Vessels, with the keyword of “Attraction”. This for me is the minor version of The Lovers and it’s all about friendships, old and new, partnerships, all kinds of relationships and any power of attraction that you have manifesting in your life. I pulled this card out […]
Wildwood COTD : Three of Arrows
Today’s Card of the Day is the Three of Arrows with the key word of “Jealousy”. I struggle with this keyword, especially when I don’t see any jealousy being raised by others or within myself. So, why that key word? It’s one Mark himself has associated with the card after working only with The Greenwood […]
Wildwood COTD : Major 8, The Stag
Today’s Card of the Day is another of the Major’s, Card 8. In your RWS Decks, this is often Strength, but The Stag has a totally different take on that.If any one character in this deck reminds me of Herne the Hunter, this is it! (Thanks very much in part to Kip Carpenter and Robin […]
