6 Material Card (6 of Coins) from the Snowland Deck
I had thought about writing a post using specific Tarot cards as gratitude talismans.
That is, using certain Tarot cards--especially ones that some would associate with gratitude or abundance--for the conscious cultivation of thankfulness.
The more I thought of it, the more I realized that every single one of the 78 cards of Tarot can be used to inspire gratitude, draw out thankfulness or cultivate mindful appreciation.
Numerous studies have demonstrated the physical, mental and emotional benefits of gratitude. If you don't use a gratitude journal, try writing in one using Tarot cards as prompts. You don't have to have a fancy or expensive journal; a dollar store notebook is fine!
James Battersby and Christine Aguiar from TarotCollectibles.com have just released their latest deck The Spring Waite Tarot! Replete with bunnies, butterflies, and rainbows, this re-imagining of the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot adds color, whimsy and themes of rebirth to this iconic deck.
In the 1970s, Wonder Woman (played by Lynda Carter) inspired many girls--including me. In this episode of the Pop Tarot Podcast I fly solo (in my Invisible Jet!), sharing different aspects of this iconic TV show...and how they connect to various Tarot cards.
Message in a Bottle, Roxanne, Don't Stand So Close to Me, Spirits in the Material World,King of Pain--if you grew up in the 1980s, you probably know these songs.
Fronted by Sting, the British post-punk/reggae/pop trio The Police produced many an earworm.
