Coming Soon....Tarot Deck Reviews
Hi everyone, on Saturday 19th May there is going to be a fund-raising event at the Fielden Centre, Ewood Lane, Off Burnley Road, Todmorden. It is in aid of 'Women In Tune' and 'Horton-in-Ribblesdale Womens Holiday Centre' - please note this event is run by women, for women. From 12noon till 5pm there will be a variety of market stalls e.g. books, astrology readings, haircuts by the Funky Punky Hair Fairy, photocards, aromatherapy products, hand-made glass, plants, and Tarot readings by yours truly. There will also be a cafe with yummy food. Entry is free. In the evening there is a women's disco, entry fee payable. If you can make it, it will be great to see you.
Starting from next weekend, I will be adding a review of a Tarot deck each week. Since I last added any reviews to the Tarot archive, I have acquired about twenty or so more decks, and they have now been photographed, so watch this space for exciting new decks!
Till then,
Goddess Blessings, Willow
Flying Fish
Well, I have heard a couple of really funny stories regarding pets this week. I learned that the Japanese people like to keep jellyfish for pets, and also that they like to eat them - seriously - and the other tale, or should I say true story, is that I overheard a conversation between two people that went like this....."So how's the parrot then?" "Oh he's fine. I've been taking the dog for walks in the woods and I've just bought a harness so I can take the parrot too". This conjured up such a picture in my mind.......as for the jellyfish, I suppose it's not that crazy.....after all, we keep goldfish as pets......and we eat fish. Hmm, I think there's the beginnings of a short story there. Must go, have to write.

Beltane 2012
Beltane Blessings, dear friends. It's a beautiful sunny day (for a change) and getting outside today is an absolute must. Not sure what I'll be doing this afternoon but whatever it is, it will involve sunshine and fresh air. May I wish you all a wonderful day.
SONG ON A MAY MORNING
Now the bright morning star, day's harbinger,
Comes dancing from the east, and leads with her
The flowery May, who from her green lap throws
The yellow cowslip and the pale primrose.
Hail, bounteous May, that dost inspire
Mirth, and youth, and warm desire!
Woods and groves are of thy dressing;
Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing.
Thus we salute thee with our early song,
And welcome thee, and wish thee long.

Tarotcast April 2012
Phew, what a relief. I have finally recovered from the treatment I had, which unfortunately was followed immediately by a rather unpleasant bug - I won't scare you with the details - no, seriously, I don't want to give you nightmares! But that has all passed and I am back more-or-less to 'normal' haha.
The Tarotcast for April is now available for you to read - I was rather surprised just how many reversed cards there are this month, and how chaos and upset seems to be the order of the day for so many of us at present. And just to underline it, a great gust of wind just rattled my window and is threatening to destroy my new, colourful windless chime, boohoo!
Had my first date with a new coffee-shop today..........yes, we're getting to know each other and there will definitely be a second date soon. I get the feeling that this could turn into a long-term relationship. My only problem is - what about the other coffee-shops that I already have ongoing relationships with? Is there room in my life for yet another........does having another one on the go mean that I will make less of the already-existing ones? After all, one can only drink so much coffee......can't one? Oh well, I guess I will just have to work it out as I go along. Anyway, the Little Bean has just become my new best friend.
I have heard on the grapevine that Arthur Waite is absolutely furious at my absence. I am feeling a bit nervous about getting back in touch with him but nevertheless, I shall be doing so in the next couple of days. Perhaps he will refuse to communicate with me.......although I can't really see him turning down an opportunity to pour scorn and derision on an amateur Tarot enthusiast! I shall start psyching myself up now.

Apologies
Sorry I've been missing - I've been having a bad reaction to some treatment I had, but expect to be back in the next few days.

Blue Sky And Icecream
What a beautiful day it is - the sky is so very clear and blue, and I can't wait to get out there. Not sure what I'll do yet, but it doesn't really matter as long as there's fresh air to enjoy and a half-decent coffee (or two) waiting for me somewhere!
Arthur Waite - who'd have thought he'd be turning out to have a rather endearing side?! Yes, he is beginning to reveal himself and it's looking like he might be open in the future to discuss all manner of things.
I went to my great-nephew's sixteenth birthday meal yesterday and we all had a lovely time. Poor nephew was a little bit embarrassed when a cake complete with firework was delivered to the table and we all sang happy birthday to him (I think he secretly rather enjoyed it hehe). The cake was lovely but I have to say the piece-de-resistance was the ice-cream sundae........still not quite finished eating it.
Well, whatever you're doing today, I hope it's a good one.

Will You Marry Me
The Tarotcast for March is now posted. Rumour has it that Arthur Waite is somehow managing to be quite gracious, and I've heard on the grapevine that there is a letter on its way as I type. I'm expecting it to arrive tomorrow so keep an eye out - Waite being gracious?! That has to be worth reading LOL.
It's Leap Year. I'm asking Joan Baez and Maddy Prior if they will both marry me (sighhhh). It will be a good arrangement because when one of them is on tour, the other one can stay with me. When they're both home, it will be lots of fun, and when they're both away, it will be peaceful and quiet - sounds like the perfect life to me!
Went to lipreading class today. Names are notoriously difficult to lipread and today's practice was all about names - the ten most popular boys' names and girls' names for last year. Some of the surprises were - Ethan, Isla and Ava - I thought my dad's name, Wilfred, might be up there........When I was pregnant with my son, he was going to be called Yoda Naomi (Naomi after a girl at school who I had a crush on) if he'd been a girl - Yoda from Star Wars, that is. When I look at Yoda now I am very grateful that I had a boy.......crikey, how would Yoda have ever lived it down? I was watching television a few weeks ago and the doctor that delivered my son was on a programme. It just so happened that my son was with me at the time and I was able to tell him. He said he remembered that doctor, as his was the very first face he saw when he came into the world :-p
See you soon.
