Gutted about the fires, so I shuffled for a message from the Lua Tarot and pulled the Ten of Wands. Sigh. Burnout could not be more literal here. “Unprecedented” seems to be the word for 2020! Several of our friends were evacuated from their homes. We opened our home to dear friends and their two beloved cats. What a terrifying and stressful time for them and everyone affected by these fires.

Blessed Full Moon! Tonight's Full Moon in Pisces (10:22PM PDT) is ripe for heart-opening magic, beaming compassion and love down to Earth. I invite you to cast and charge this Tarot Spell to raise the energies of unity and healing during these times of upheaval. Calling all witches, mages, and practitioners of the healing and mystical arts! I invite you to erect this tarot spell, during the Pisces Full Moon, onto your altar or reading table to raise the energies of unity and healing during these times of upheaval. In the name of Oneness against the forces of division. Incorporating multiple decks in a spread brings unique dimensions to readings! I love and use the Sovereign Oracle, by my dear friend Theresa Pridemore, in this way. In this reading I combine it with the Lua Tarot. I don’t do as many personal readings for myself as I used to. I much prefer to receive a reading from a friend, but I received an incredibly potent reading with this combo I wanted to share!
Lord of Prudence. “In the shade of an old tree, a carpenter is refining his pieces for his project. He guides the planer with focus and care. The Eight of Coins is the artisan card and shows someone who is working happily to improve their craft. It affirms an emerging talent and ability to work alone in a craft or business venture with great skill and self discipline. This card is affirming the power of fine-tuning your technique and bringing attention to detail. Meticulous repetition can be boring but it’s with constant rehashing that one improves their skills. It’s what elevates one from the serious student to the master.”
Text and Eight of Coins from the new Lua Tarot deck. Copyright © Maree Bento. All rights are reserved. Printed out the Lua Tarot box top using my home printer to get a 3D idea of how it will look. This is close to how it should turn out. The bottom part of the box (or the back of it) will have the deck info, so the box can be left on display without branding clutter. I’ve just approved the designs and the booklet to move forward into production! Lead time, however, is up to 35 days. I’m preparing pre-orders. If you’re interested in this deck, please stay tuned.
Sun is in Leo now, and it’s officially Leo Season with the Leo moon today too (through 4:40pm PDT) should bring a blast of creativity, and playful energy. And let’s be honest, some drama too, it is Leo after all! The Strength card is from the upcoming Lua Tarot. It’s basically done! Booklet is in editing mode, and I’m now working on the box art. Cards are at the printer, and I’m waiting on the proof. Yay! I have been working with the Lua Tarot’s test copy and getting the details sorted out. I am looking forward to completing this project and getting it out to you. Almost there! The mini book is almost done (at 160 pages), still writing the Swords and Coins suits. The rest of the booklet is written, and will go into editing phase right after I’m done with the Coin suit’s descriptions. Those are jasmine flowers from our garden. I wish you could smell the scent wafting through the space. Jasmine is so magical! A friend of mine recently said that god must smell like it. This Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is exact tonight at 9:44pm PDT in Capricorn. It’s the USA’s birthday too, and it has been experiencing major difficult times. I keep talking about shadow work in my astrology posts, but, it’s a Capricorn Lunar Eclipse, and he rules the Devil card, so it comes up again! The Devil card is about the shadow and the ego. He shows us where we have attachment and fear. It’s the card of materialism and being addicted to stuff, like money. It’s also the card of bondage and enslavement. |
