Well, it's been nearly a month since I started the Tarot Inspiration blog, and what a wonderful experience this has been! I am so pleased at the response from all over the world. So far there have been more than 450 page views from the US, the UK, Canada, Finland, Germany Australia, Spain, Serbia, Denmark, Poland, and New Zealand.
I am so grateful to those of you who have reposted via facebook, favorited via stumble and linkedback through your own sites. I am particularly grateful to Lon Milo DuQuette who tweeted the birth of this project which resulted in being linked to Aecletic Tarot, a very comprehensive tarot website from Australia.
Here is the link to Lon's Facebook fan page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lon-Milo-DuQuette-Fan-Page/306440266723?ref=ts&sk=wall
From here you can follow all things Lon and be sure to check out his book on the books tab of the blog.

You'll find a great community of tarot afficianados here.
I have also been linked by crowleysite so big thanks to them, too : http://crowleysite.tumblr.com/post/3166045762/tarot-inspiration-this-blog-preserves-and
I would also like to thank Niina, a delightful young lady from Finland, whose blog covers a wide range of spiritual topics, including the Thoth tarot, for the free reading she did for me, for her participation and for following the blog. Here is a recent post where she discusses the 10 of cups: http://niinac.blogspot.com/2011/02/meaning-of-my-tarot-readings.html
I would also like to thank the rest of you, my 15 followers (woot!) and those of you who just read along with us. I feel a deep sense of gratitude and responsibility to you all.
In the coming weeks, I will be sharing the Wands, Cups, Swords and Disks in all their glory, and once the entire deck is posted, I will move to working with layouts, particularly the Celtic Cross. I would like to start a basic beginning reading section in the forum by asking you if I may read for you and then post the reading (anonymously, of course) with guidance as to how I interpreted the cards as I did. I see this as a way to help guide those who are new to tarot, and to the Thoth Deck in particular into learning the relationships between the cards and how the meanings can shift due to the position and other cards around it. If you are interested in participating, sign up on the forum. http://tarot-inspiration.blogspot.com/p/forum.html
I would also like to encourage those of you who have studied this deck to add your voice to the group by posting your interpretation, or your comments on another interpretation in the comment thread for each card. The energy of mutual inspiration is what keeps this project going, and your voice is needed and appreciated.
Thank you all again for your support of this project. It means a great deal to me to know that you all are out there and interested in what I'm doing here. Blessings of light and love to you all!
Yay! Congratulations on finishing the major arcana with so much success!
ReplyDeleteSorry I have not been commenting much lately, but I am ultimately lazy and don't want to think too hard. ;)
Keep up the great work!
Thank you my darling daughter for being such an inspiration. Your comments, whenever you choose to share them, are always valued. <3

Aww, thank you Bummble! I appreciate your subscription and your interest in the project. I'm looking forward to expanding the original work once I get the entire deck posted. Looking forward to your input. If you have questions I can answer or suggestions for this project, please feel free to communicate them. This project grows through the participation of the readers, and I encourage everyone to comment. Thanks for liking it!
