The Three of Wands from my new deck in progress: I’m following 777 mainly and strictly for the decan descriptions but occasionally incorporating some symbolism from other decan descriptions. Crowley’s description of the decan per 777, Succedent decan of Aries: A green-clad woman, with one leg bare from the ankle to the knee. Picatrix: A […]
That’s right – I’m taking another spin on the wheel, and an image and invocation style decan walk as part of the process to create another deck. Aries Decan 1, 1st, the first face of Aries, the tarot Two of Wands. I began this process on the vernal equinox at dawn (Sunday March 21, 2021) […]

Finally, after our pandemic spring and summer, and all the strange and chaotic events both related and unrelated that have unfolded in 2020, I’m feeling the muse stirring. Finally wrapping up my gardening “fervorino” of the spring and summer seasons. Harvested the onions and garlic, and made more pickles, both fermented and canned, than any […]

The Pharos Tarot was named after the Pharos Lighthouse, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Someone has wondered why the Pharos Tarot Majors decks editions were released in such odd numbers. All are editions of less than 300, not to be repeated.

The Fortune’s Wheelhouse podcast has now recorded over 100 episodes! In the most recent series of pods we are covering astrological signs in tarot, and related cards.
