Geomancy Oracle Deck for Sale
I'm happy to say that after some research and prototyping I am finally in production with my Geomancy Oracle deck. It's available here: https://www.makeplayingcards.com/sell/marketplace/geomancy-oracle.html My Geomancy Oracle Deck is a divination deck based on the ancient practice of Geomancy. It contains 8 dot cards that are used to create individual geomantic tetragrams, 2 template cards that allow the reader to assemble geomantic tetragrams into a full divination spread, 16 cards representing the individual tetragrams and 10 astrological house cards. The entire deck is comprised of 38 cards in total and comes with a detailed 54 page instruction booklet in a beautiful and sturdy magnetic book box. Geomancy is an ancient oracle practice. Its origins most likely lie in North African sand divination. The Arabic practice established the current system of 16 geomantic tetragrams or figures, their alignment with the four Elements of Fire, Air, Water and Earth, the Sun and Moon and the
Stolen DA artwork on OpenSea
I was just alerted that someone on OpenSea is selling one of my DA postings (just the image) as a non-fungible token. When I checked I found they just opened their store this month and have hundreds of DA posts listed for sale; mostly images of jewelry, small sculptures, masks and other craft-related art. The prices aren't anything to sneeze at, either. Imagine someone downloading an image of your work and asking around $20 for it! It you're a crafter check out https://opensea.io/0xbce37240fafc4891019c32e5f1fe4b5555bf9eab and see if your artwork is being ripped off. If it is you can report the theft at antifraud@opensea.io. Not sure if it will do any good, but I guess the digital token market is taking art theft to a completely new level.
New Bead Project on Etsy
It's taken me a little longer than I wanted, but I guess it's still in time for fall weather. You can now grab detailed instructions and word charts for my "Queen of the Faire" cuff bracelet from my Etsy store. If you're still looking for a fun Delica bead project before the holidays, this would be a good one! https://www.etsy.com/listing/880667864/queen-of-the-faire-instructions?ref=shop_home_active_1
My Art Featured in a New Release by Taschen
The Empress from my New Era Elements Tarot made it into a new release by Taschen publishers! They are starting a new series of illustrated art books called the Library of Esoterica. The first volume to be published deals with the tradition of the Tarot. You can check out their new publication here. It's going to be released this month and I'm excited that part of their proceeds will benefit the Loveland Foundation, which provides therapy support for Black women and girls. From their website: "The Loveland Foundation was established in 2018 by Rachel Cargle in response to her widely successful birthday wish fundraiser, Therapy for Black Women and Girls. Her enthusiastic social media community raised over $250,000, which made it possible for Black women and girls nationally to receive therapy support. Black women and girls deserve access to healing, and that healing will impact generations." I am so glad to be able to be a part of this effort and to contribute to the amazing

Very cool - I wish I understood tarot more - I have my deck packed away since I move so much - but I would love to have a reading and understand this better. Looks very interesting.

To kick this journal entry off - here are some of the amazing Tarot projects you can find here on DA. The skill, imagination, knowledge and inventiveness of the artists who are taking on this daunting project are amazing! Go check out their galleries to see their full decks!
Journal Entry
Here's how you do a reading: write down your question or formulate it clearly in your mind. Place four cards , front down, in an open square before you - these represent the four Hogwarts houses. In the center of the square place two cards, one crossing the other. This represents the Great Hall, the outcome of the reading. Turn over your cards and look at their meaning in the context of the four houses first:
1. Griffindor: The card in this position tells you about your relationships and friendships, the people you are loyal to and who stand by your side. It tells you about the image others have of you or how you want others to see you. It also stands for your aspirations and goals.
2. Slytherin: The card here gives you insight into your secrets and dreams, it tells you about your shadow, the things you may be afraid of, ashamed of or unwilling to admit to. It illuminates your weaknesses or hidden desires.
3. Hufflepuff: This position will help you interpret your material situation, possessions, health, feeling of security, happiness and success.
4. Ravenclaw: The last card of the quadrant tells you about your mental focus, what is important to you, how you make sense of the world around you, what you understand and how you think through things, particularly the problem or situation about which you made the spread
5. and 6. The Great Hall: These two cards will help you see the outcome of your question. The upright card will show you the end result. The card that crosses it will show you obstacles you have to overcome. These obstacles can be your own mental blocks and attitude, they can also be outside influences you have to work through. They may reinforce or oppose some of the aspects of the cards you have uncovered in the House quadrants.
