I was interviewed last night by David Rosenhaus, creator of the Rock n Roll Oracle, and producer of the Rock’n'Roll Empowerment Show. In this interview, I talked about my upcoming book Experimental Tarot Techniques, my philosophies on tarot, and some other interesting things that I do in my life.
This morning seemed like just any ordinary day: first day of a new month, a new moon AND a solar eclipse. I couldn’t have asked for an more auspicious energetic setting to send me off on a new magical journey. Today I dedicated myself to the element of alchemy and I am in a year long service to both this element and my deity exemplar, Kelsier, a character from Brandon Sanderson’s fantasy novel, Mistborn.
In this essay I go into as much depth as I can about this elemental working as I learned it from Taylor Ellwood and what I hope to accomplish. [click to continue…]
Earlier today I gave a jam-packed half-hour interview with Taylor Ellwood at Magical Experiments. Right from the get-go it was tarot, tarot, tarot. We’re not even a minute into the interview and someone called in. Instead of passing off this person, I jumped on the opportunity to show listeners a small taste of how I perform (over the phone) readings for a client.
I shared a stories of how I got into tarot, and what I like to use the cards for. I tried giving a more in-depth response and explanation of the year long elemental working I am doing and how the tarot fits into it, as well as some quick information on both my book-in-process, Experimental Tarot Techniques, as well as some of the information I give to people in two of my more popular classes. We also talked a bit about spread creation.
For those who missed my debut radio appearance, you can listen to it here:
Just wanted to remind everyone that I’m going to be talking tarot with Taylor Ellwood from Magical Experiments on Blog Talk Radio tomorrow at 2:30 PST. Would love it if you all listened in!
I’ll share stories of how I got into tarot, what I use the cards for, and my new year-long elemental journey with the element alchemy. This process combines using the cards and creative visualization to help promote a deep and long lasting transformation within one self.
I learned to crochet a year ago. Mostly out of frustration for not having lovely and fun cases for all my tarot decks to snuggle into. Well, after working on two different patterns for almost an entire year, I now feel comfortably opening up an Etsy store to sell them.
Come one, come all and join me in welcoming innowen.etsy.com to the fold. I’ve added my current 21 case stock to the store and these are ready to ship. They all fit standard sized decks and I am taking custom orders for decks that are smaller or longer in size. I also offer a wide variety of acrylic and cotton fibers (I’m allergic to wool and other animal fibers) colorways as well as Fimo clay button options. I’ve even made accessing my store simple by offering a link and a sampling of the cases on the store in the right hand sidebar to this site.
In the future I plan on adding handmade journals and Kindle (or other eBook reader) cases to the site! I’m excited to be able to share my art creations with you and to give your decks a comfy home to sit in.
I’m excited to announce that on Wednesday I’ll be interviewed by Taylor Ellwood of Magical Experiments. We’ll be talking tarot and I’ll share stories of how I got into tarot, what I use the cards for, and my new year-long elemental journey with the element alchemy. This process combines using the cards and creative visualization [...]
Every now and then a new product comes out on the tarot radar that makes all us enthusiasts go “ooh” and wonder how it revolutionizes, and challenges, current tarot structures. A few years ago, Emily Carding did this with her Transparent Tarot deck. Well, now Jude Alexander has done it with her fun and insightful, [...]
I just got home from the 2nd Annual World Tarot & Towel Tea Party at my friend Ember’s. We had a lovely 4 hour party sipping tea, drooling over our new tarot decks and books, and co-reading spreads for one another. Read more to find out what we did and what I learned this afternoon!
A few moments ago I pulled out my trusty Shadowscapes tarot and asked the cards: What is the spirit of Tarot for the next year? In return, I received the King of Cups. As a Court Card, the King of Cups represents a very passionate thinker. He is old and wise and contains much knowledge. [...]
It’s T minus 4 hours ’till Midnight. You know what that means? Both World Tarot Day and Towel Day begin. And tomorrow and Thursday are going to be jam packed with tarot fun for me. I’ll be adding three new posts between tomorrow and Thursday. Follow my twitter feed (innotarot) to get first hand snippets [...]
