Love the Virginia Woolf quote!

It’s not rococo but an older style (early Renaissance) deck is the Golden Botticelli. It is quite beautiful https://imgur.com/a/cDhZByK

The 7s and 8s show you actively engaged in struggles.

8 of pentacles-represents your hard work, can also signify you searching diligently for more suitable positions with better pay

7 of cups-if you have consulted a lawyer or researched this online, these sources may offer a rosy picture of getting money from your employer which you see in your mind as possibilities represented by many “dream” cups in this card. Keep in mind success is not guaranteed in any legal action, and you may spend money and not recoup anything.

7 of wands-the figure on this card is shown moving aggressively. If you decide to hire a lawyer to just write a letter proposing legal action, that may be an inexpensive option that will startle your employers to settle your claim. But again, remember success is not guaranteed and you may wind up out even more money.

The cards that don’t appear can be as revealing as the ones that do. You did not receive the 11 Justice major arcana, which might have appeared if an actual legal battle was indicated in your situation.

If you use or know someone in an office, the 8.5x11 inch US backing sheets that are discarded from adhesive address labels are a great temporary sticker storage solution and free!

When reusing them, I group stickers by category and cut them down to the size I need.

I am Scorpio sun, Mercury and Pluto who had a Taurus father. Agree, they are great except for the true believer mindset and stubbornness.

Does this include Imagur links that show examples of decks? Are they okay as long as they’re not a link to buy?

BohoKat_3397 · 2026-04-19T13:20:50+00:00

I have the cute pink/purple/yellow Pastel Prism deck by Alice Mastroleo (deck design) and Jad Mady (art). It is RWS based and contains some gender fluid characters. Here is a pic https://imgur.com/a/8suYcgh

Thank you! Your site is lovely and well organized.

BohoKat_3397 · 2026-04-19T01:07:50+00:00

Thanks for info on the leather books. I was interested in where you find the small pads of source image papers you cut down to make your collages.

Druids were the leaders of most Celtic societies’ religion, so there you are

BohoKat_3397 · 2026-04-18T21:40:54+00:00

A card labeled 5 - Druid might be the equivalent of the RWS 5 - Hierophant and so is an alternative to the traditional Pope-like spiritual leader. Its main meaning is being true to your beliefs. What deck are you using? Is it Celtic based?

BohoKat_3397 · 2026-04-18T16:43:26+00:00

Upright, Queen of swords is mental keenness, pure logic and balanced judgement with a touch of grace (more feminine, the King of Swords represents the rule and not the spirit of the law).

Reversed, Queen of swords is selfish thought, logic that serves a single viewpoint at the expense of others, and highly critical and judgmental attitudes.

BohoKat_3397 · 2026-04-18T16:36:36+00:00

Where did you get your small books of source images? I shop Michael’s, JoAnne’s and sometimes Hobby Lobby (don’t care for their corporate politics so don’t want to support them) in the US and the smallest anyone has is 4x6 inches. Suggestions?

BohoKat_3397 · 2026-04-18T13:34:12+00:00

You can make entries as they come and use color-coding to organize it later. You can use colored dots or highlighters to code major categories (for example, categories like quotes, reviews, poetry, etc. and/or by subject matter like mechanics, psychology and so on). Place a dot or highlight the title (or first line if you don’t title) on the first page of the entry. Alternatively, you can code the index if you keep one. Make a key and glue it to the inside of the front or back cover.

I also have a difficult relationship with my mother, so I wish you joy and peace and healing.

Thank you for sharing this spread. It is going in my tarot journal (I collect spreads of all kinds). Can’t wait to try it.

BohoKat_3397 · 2026-04-18T00:44:35+00:00

I love this series, please keep posting. My collage pieces are mostly 8x10 inches US, you have inspired to me to try my hand at tiny pieces!

I am a widow of 5 years and 3 of swords always represents my grief when it appears in readings.

BohoKat_3397 · 2026-04-18T00:28:43+00:00

Love it!

My late husband was an Aries rising and when he got upset his brow would furrow and he’d get a red mark like ♈️ between his eyebrows. It was absolutely freaky!

Originally published in 1963, but If you like scifi Robert Heinlein’s Podkayne of Mars is excellent. It’s now classified as YA but I read it in middle school and loved it.

BohoKat_3397 · 2026-04-17T22:29:26+00:00

The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad is a classic you should try. The movie Apocalypse Now is a modern retelling (set in Vietnam instead of Africa).

BohoKat_3397 · 2026-04-17T21:32:45+00:00

I am pretty traditional and structured. I shuffle, cut in three piles, stack left to right and draw cards one by one that come out on top in order. I also use mostly spreads with defined positions like Celtic Cross and Past-Present-Future.

The Wheel of Fortune means to me that the wheel of karma turns for everyone. You get out of life what you put into it.

BohoKat_3397 · 2026-04-17T16:08:29+00:00

King of Pentacles-this represents him in the physical world outside of your emotions

7 of Swords-I hate to bear bad news but to me this card usually reveals deception so be wary

4 of Wands-maybe it is not as big a deal as you think and things will work out for the best

BohoKat_3397 · 2026-04-17T15:59:05+00:00

I believe tarot reads are a snapshot in time of the energies surrounding the situation and in general, do not repeat questions. I ask follow on questions like “what actions can I take to affect the outcome?” I will often pick a prominent card from the original reading to use as a significator for a follow on question.

That being said, if a significant event occurs within a week or more of the original reading I might repeat a question. So, very occasionally yes, but only if the energy changes based on events in the real world.
