Sleeping with a Friend



Ok, so no, you're not about to get any juicy details about my actual sex life!  *ahem* Let me tactfully remind you all that I am married.
But when this song came out I really liked it, and I hear it fairly regularly on my drives to and from work.  I was driving home one morning when this song came on, thinking about what kind of spreads I was going to try to craft for Valentine's day.

Could the Universe have smacked me in the face any harder?

We all love our besties, but what if you LOVE love your bestie?  Can you take it to the next level?

Add this one to the spreads inspired by music.  Or at least named after some.  (All the Wrong Places, & One Love One House.  I could make a theme out of this)

Tarot Personalities- the Emperor

I've talked previously about revamping 78 Weeks of Tarot and bringing it over to Divine Trinity Tarot's social media.  Previously, I would hunt Pinterest for quotes and images relevant to the cards.  I'm still hunting quotes, but I'm now making my own graphics!  It's pretty fun and a lot easier than I thought it would be.  Some turn out better than others, but I like to think I'm improving overall.  

Today I posted the Emperor, and I realize that the quote I chose probably says a lot more about me than the card as a whole.  Whoops, I think my daddy issues are showing.  I just see him as unflinchingly stern.  Not uncaring, but still stone-like.  He believes in order and systems.  If you don't follow the order, he believes discipline will set you back in line.  This goes more in hand with the reverse of the card, but it is an aspect of the Emperor nonetheless.  And on Friday I'll make sure to highlight him in a more positive light.
There are so many different facets to each tarot card, none can be summed up sufficiently with one quote.  So I guess it's a good thing that I try to give each card at least two graphics.  And when we run through the entire deck, we can start over and keep exploring all those angles.  It's one of my favorite tarot hobbies!

Enchanted Tarot Deck Mod

I did it!  I cut all the borders from the Enchanted Tarot.  I plan on adding glitter and an edge treatment as well in the near future, but for now, you can read about the borderectomy over at Divine Trinity Tarot
