Using Playing Cards and Dice in Place of Tarot Cards
Divination using found objects or collected trinkets is a fun way to use your intuition and also add to your knowledge of tarot. There are many ways you can add the use of dice alongside your readings or even as a separate system. Playing cards are inexpensive (also highly collectable), but work very well for reading the cards. There is a cool system of reading fortunes with Dominoes as well, your creativity is the only limit!

Tarot & Dream Work
Both are excellent tools for strengthening one’s intuition and both unlock the door to hidden realms of insight, meaning and self-discovery in the unconscious. Since our unconscious can speak to us through dreams and Tarot, we can use one to strengthen our relationship with the other. Using Tarot images and dream symbols together seems to open a dialog between the conscious and subconscious mind that is normally closed, creating a powerful synergy. Symbols, words, people, and environments are very personal and there is no one meaning for them. This is where working with a magical tool like the Tarot can help bring some more clarity.

Year Long Tarot Studies
If you are looking to begin a year long deck or tarot study, I share some of the ones I have come across and others I've used myself. These can help you learn aspects of the tarot such as astrology and the elements or they can help you immerse yourself in a particular deck like the Wildwood Tarot. There are a few things I get out of doing these myself such as aligning myself to the cosmos, and seeing how they really do correlate to specific energies throughout the year (As Above so Below). Connecting myself to nature and the seasons to understand myself a bit better as well as making the most out of the natural cycles we all go through. These studies also help you connect the meaning in your cards to everyday happenings which in turn, really help you live and breathe the lessons in the tarot. Decks Used: Wildwood Tarot (https://www.thewildwoodtarot.com/) - Mark Ryan, John Matthews & Will Worthington The Witches Wisdom Tarot (https://www.phylliscurott.com/books-and-tarot/witches-wisdom-tarot) - Phyllis Curott Druidcraft Tarot (https://druidry.org/druid-way/other-paths/wicca-druidcraft/druidcraft-tarot) - Philip Carr-Gomm & Will Worthington Cantigee Oracle (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/710529/the-cantigee-oracle-by-rae-diamond/9781623177737) - Rae Diamond Books Discussed: A Year in the Wildwood (https://www.amazon.ca/Year-Wildwood-Explore-Tarot/dp/1519066082) - Alison Cross - A Year in the Wildwood Facebook Study Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/wildwoodtarot) Wild Magic (https://www.amazon.ca/Wild-Magic-Wildwood-Tarot-Workbook/dp/1454926406) - Mark Ryan, John Matthews & Will Worthington The Moon Book (https://www.amazon.ca/Moon-Book-Lunar-Magic-Change/dp/1250206189) - Sarah Faith Gottensdeiner Moon Magick (https://www.llewellyn.com/product.php?ean=9781567181678)- DJ Conway The Spirit Almanac (https://www.spiritalmanac.com/) - Lindsay Kellner & Emma Loewe The Tarot Almanac (https://www.amazon.ca/Tarot-Almanac-Seasonal-Guide-Divining/dp/1454947837) - Bess Matassa Resources: Great place to buy books & decks: Book Outlet (https://bookoutlet.com/) Decan Walk YouTube Videos: Marlene Theresa Decan Walk 2023 (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL91_zuJVCnzdWfKOTADGIcDQfYKXNLIZl) Moon Dips Candles (https://moondips.com/password) - Made in Winnipeg, Manitoba Moon Cards - Guide to Moon Magic Kit (https://www.amazon.ca/Guide-Moon-Magic-Kit-Meditations/dp/0785840508) - Aurora Kane I have a version of this podcast upon YouTube as well (https://youtu.be/3WS0yvsvVnc) Join my FREE Tarot Circle and get in on the discussion!

Using Tarot to Find Lost Items
Believe it or not, you can use tarot to find things like keys, wallets phones, jewellery, documents and even lost pets. The main idea is to use your cards to find out clues about the lost item’s whereabouts and if it is possible to find it or not. Using the elements in the suits, the zodiacs associated with the Major Arcana and even reversals you can glean a lot of information to help in your cause. Decks Used: Penumbra Tarot - Ethony Dawn & Eris Elizabeth (https://shop.ethony.com/collections/decks/products/penumbra-tarot) Practice What You Learned: - Choose a deck with more imagery (not a pip deck), and try out these spreads (https://www.susiegourlay.com/podcast-extras.html#/) - Find an image of an astrology wheel to help with direction (even use a deck that has the astrological sings on the cards to help) I have a version of this podcast upon YouTube as well (https://youtu.be/huK9Q0yM9CI) Join my FREE Tarot Circle and get in on the discussion!

Connecting With Your Inner Child
Your inner child is a part of your subconscious that has been picking up messages way before it was able to fully process what was going on (mentally and emotionally). It holds emotions, memories and beliefs from the past as well as hopes and dreams for the future. It consists of what a person learned and experienced in the earliest years of their lives (birth to age 8 or 9). While for some this is a happy and exciting time, for others this can be quite the opposite. Our inner child holds onto memories of our childhoods which include times of learning, comfort, and processing information before our brains were developed enough to understand. . When we connect to our inner child, we are inviting joy, hope and play so they come out of hiding. We make ourselves vulnerable and this welcomes healing. Using tarot is a perfect way to connect with your inner child because it speaks to us in images and symbols and by doing so it bypasses our conscious mind and can get to the root of emotions, memories and trauma. Decks Used: (https://www.amazon.ca/Zombie-Tarot-Oracle-Undead-Instructions/dp/1594745692/ref=asc_df_1594745692/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=292974279990&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9041758882267293542&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001253&hvtargid=pla-380959083831&psc=1)Light Seer's Tarot - Chris Anne (https://lightseerstarot.com/) Modern Love Tarot - Ethony Dawn (https://shop.ethony.com/collections/decks/products/modern-love-tarot-exploring-the-many-facets-of-love) Practice What You Learned: - Identify and embrace your inner child - Use words of affirmation - Make time for play, be creative, colour, enjoy the outdoors - Try out these spreads (https://www.susiegourlay.com/podcast-extras.html#/) Join my FREE Tarot Circle and get in on the discussion!

My Patchwork Decks - A New Obsession
The Magpie Deck (or Patchwork Deck) isn't a new concept but it became popular after The Alleyman Tarot (https://hk.alleymantarot.com/) came out on Kickstarter. It is the highest backed tarot deck in Kickstarter history. Made up of over 130 mismatched cards by many different artists. The Alleyman themselves (Seven Dane Asmund) curated another 3(!) decks recently on Kickstarter called The Alleyway Oracles (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/publishinggoblin/the-alleyway-oracles) which include the Alleyway Tarot, The Oracle of Play and the Oracle of Secrets. I was very lucky to have a card chosen from my Unraveled Oracle to be included in the Oracle of Play!! Once these decks have been shipped I will have some for trade (early 2024). "Every city has an alleyway. Rat plagued, garbage strewn, back doors, and odd neon signs. There are people you know, people you've forgotten, boxes and tents, faces and hands. The hourly workers on their breaks, drinking out of to-go containers, gathering by the dumpster on milk crates. You see a fastfood bag full of trash. You wonder who will pick that up. You see a man, curled up on two flats of cardboard. You wonder who will pick him up. But you never think about this. You never really wonder after you see it. You never imagine a life behind anyone there. It's not a place meant for people to stay. So you don't linger. Schedules to keep. ...But what if you did? What if you deigned to imagine a momentary lapse of judgement? What if the man inside the alley was looking at you, I mean really looking at you? And what if in that shared moment you stopped walking, stood beside him, noticed he had something in his hands. A set of cards. Strange, mismatched, worn, and rotten. And no matter how much you do or don't believe, you still want to know. What will the cards say? You enter the Alley." - The Alleyway Oracles Practice What You Learned: - Join The Alley on Faceboo (https://www.facebook.com/groups/492116961828242)k and start trading and compiling your own magpie deck. - Create a Google Drive to upload all you cards for trade/sale. I organize mine by deck name than each suit as its own folder. I also take a picture of each card individually. You can see my drive here.

Using Lunar Energy with the Tarot
Using the energies of the moon each month is a great way to connect with the natural world. Much like tarot it also helps us to connect with our subconscious. We can use both in conjunction to gain insight and clarity with our emotions, fears, shadow aspects and more.

Using Tarot to Build Resilience
Resilience is the ability to recover quickly from difficulties or defeat. It is being able to adapt to highly stressful situations or crises and being capable of overcoming adversity. Developing resilience is important for protection against overwhelming circumstances and allows you to bounce back after things don't go your way. It helps you to learn from your mistakes but no dwell on them and to focus on what you will do differently next time. Ways to build resilience include maintaining positivity, keeping things in perspective, accepting change, trusting you can overcome problems, and staying flexible. You can't always control what happens in life but you can control how you respond, and resilient people get back up when life knocks them down. Decks Used: The Zombie Tarot (https://www.amazon.ca/Zombie-Tarot-Oracle-Undead-Instructions/dp/1594745692/ref=asc_df_1594745692/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=292974279990&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9041758882267293542&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001253&hvtargid=pla-380959083831&psc=1) Practice What You Learned: - Go through your deck and pull out which cards you feel belong with the characteristics of optimism, confidence, humor, expression, focus, connections & devotion. - What do you think are characteristics of resilient people? - Try out this spread I created for building resilience (https://www.susiegourlay.com/blog/using-tarot-to-build-resilience) - Write out your own positive affirmations for each card (or check out p 609 in Holistic Tarot) - Benebell also has created a spread similar to the celtic cross structured for a resilience reading (p 604 in Holistic Tarot) Book Recommendations: Holistic Tarot - Benebell Wen (https://www.amazon.ca/Holistic-Tarot-Integrative-Approach-Personal/dp/158394835X/ref=asc_df_158394835X/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=292953695483&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=362692231981889310&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001253&hvtargid=pla-434338904153&psc=1) Join my FREE Tarot Circle and get in on the discussion!

Shadow Work with the Tarot
In this episode, we will be looking at using tarot for Shadow Work. The 'shadow' is the side of your personality that contains all the parts of yourself that you don't want to admit to having, the parts that we're insecure about, ashamed of, or frustrated with and therefore repress. Shadow work is the practice of loving what is, and setting the shame and judgements free. *The Tarot is a great tool for self-reflection but it does not replace professional help* Decks Used: The Penumbra Tarot (https://shop.ethony.com/products/penumbra-tarot) The Muses of Tarot (https://shop.ethony.com/collections/decks/products/the-muses-of-tarot-box-set-and-colour-guide-book) Practice What You Learned: - Try out these spreads I made for the Iron Pentacle, Rust Pentacle & Guilded Pentacle (https://www.susiegourlay.com/blog/spreads-for-shadow-work#/) - Create emotional stacks: 1) Pick a card with the image(s) that represent your present here and now feeling as you recall a difficult situation. Now scan for a “right now” feeling that underlies yours emotion and find a card that represents that. 2) Sink down deeper, can you find another feeling hidden beneath those two? Continue if you need to add more cards Now look at this stack and what stands out to you?
