Paris's blog

If you're headed to Readers Studio, let me know. I'm going, and I'd love to meet with some of my Tarot brothers and sisters.

I'm changing hosting servers to give me more freedom in what I do with this website. You may, over the next few weeks, see the site go up and down and gradually change format.

This week's Valley Advocate (www.valleyadvocate.com) features one of the Many Hands family: Art of Change Tarot's Carolyn Cushing. (www.artofchangetarot.com)

Ruth and Wald's post-RS 2012 call, May 20, 2012, suggested we gather to build a repository of ideas around "Tarot Law".

I've registered www.tarotlaw.com and pointed it to a new forum, here: Tarot Law Forum. Head over there and REGISTER.

And if you have any problems, all you need to do to get help is to email me:

From a vendor in France, I purchased the 1st edition of the Grimaud Tarot de Marseille (1930), unique in some special ways (a marvelous bright yellow shield on the Four of Pentacles--with three fleur-de-lis on it; so lovely). I now have all of the French editions of the Grimaud series from 1930 to 2012, including a recent reprint of the 1930 edition which I highly recommend for anyone looking for one "traditional" deck to have in the bag.

I'm just back from a guided meditation led by Carolyn Cushing (http://artofchangetarot.wordpress.com/2012/03/30/591/) and if you're quick, you can make her 5 pm or her pm sessions on Strength and The Hermit.

Ours was with the Emperor. It was deep to the point where at times, Carolyn's voice was like a song in the background with no words.

Your purchase helps pay the hosting bill for this site. Here, you'll find a number of very useful references and downloads--all free. Please consider bookmarking this link for your new Tarot purchases:

Ostara: Paint a journey with new life

The old bird falls from the air
Tumbling to strike the earth.
And amid utter darkness
Light streams in
As his beak breaks shell.

Much can be learned by asking, "What is the energy underlying this card?" Even more can be learned by asking, "What happens if there is too much of that energy? or "What happens if there is too little of that energy? By asking these questions, we arrive at a place where we can ask the most important question of all, "What can one do to fix the energy imbalance?"
