CARD OF THE WEEKEND: October 29-30, 2022

 

Ace of Swords

Ancient Minchiate Etruria

a reproduction of a 1725 Florentine Minchiate oracle deck

October 29-30, 2022: Think back to Pamela Colman Smith's Ace of Swords (Rider-Waite Tarot) and how a sword-wielding hand emerges from a cloud. For this quite different Minchiate deck, the sword arrives via an equally mysterious figure--who is that hand and arm attached to?--but one more likely to be earthborn, not ethereal. And earthly power also appears in the form of a simple crown circling the point of that hoisted sword.

Introducing the mystical element of Air and, with the Ace, its most subtle and basic form--like a puff of air or a whisper--the Minchiate's Ace of Sword points towards the opportunity for high authority and power which may be earthly or intellectually expressive. The Aces can show us what can build or be built, in stages, if given sufficient attention and care.

Tending to your mental processes and to the fruits of thought will be key this weekend. Make notes on "things to keep in mind," for the mind will be a powerful tool. Meditation, journaling, freewriting, chanting, singing, channeling, and quiet conversations are especially favored and valuable.

Also keep in mind that this weekend carries the energy of Samhain, a time of heightened communication with the revered and beloved dead. It's an excellent time for tuning in to Spirit and downloading what you most need to know!

CONGRATS TO OUR RAFFLE WINNERS!

Here's our CARD OF THE WEEK...and winner!

 

The Star

Morgan-Greer Tarot

by Lloyd Morgan with art by Bill Greer

 

Here's a big thanks 💓 to those of you

who played along to guess our CARD OF THE WEEK!

 

We have one winner!

Congratulations to Michele Brangwen! 

Yay!

 

Michele did not guess the exact card, which was required to win a full 60-minute reading. However, her guess of The Moon--another a Major Arcana card--qualifies her for a one-card reading on a specific question.

******

Now, a few remarks about The Star.

The influence of The Star cannot be overestimated. This wonderful archetypal figure represents the nerve center of a network of influence, communication, and ultimate action.

This card shows up as you--center of your network, inspirer and instigator of thought and behavior--or as someone active in your situation or environment. As depicted by artist Bill Greer, The Star brings lush fertility to her surroundings.

So, look to the prominent questions or concerns you find yourself holding during this week.

Does The Star suggest your own resourceful an influential role in things? Or does it suggest someone to whom you should turn or with whom you should collaborate?

Is The Star of earthly manifestation--in which case, this living-breathing person would be quite amazing--or is The Star an internal force, part of your psyche, or a spiritual force you connect with through ritual, meditative practice, or creative work?

GUESS OUR CARD OF THE WEEK! March 14-18, 2022

Your hostess, Eva Yaa Asantewaa

 

  Card of the Week???

It's a mystery!

 

March 14-18, 2022: 

Surprise! 

Enter our contest today to win a free reading for yourself or a friend!

How?

Guess the hummingwitch Tarot CARD OF THE WEEK (March 14-18), posting your guess to me today via the Contact Eva form, Facebook Messenger, Twitter direct message, or direct email, if you have it.

Your entries must include your email address and reach me by 5pm Eastern today, March 14.

******

To win the top prize--a free 60-minute Zoom reading--you must guess the exact card.

Note: To make this easier and more uniform, the card will be drawn from a deck based on Rider-Waite-Smith structure and imagery, all 78 standard cards.

******

Plus, you have other chances to be a winner! Check this out:

If your guess fits either of the following criteria, you will win a free one-card reading that covers one specific question by email or brief mp3 recording:

• if the correct card is a Major Arcana card, and your guess is another one of the Major Arcana cards (e.g., The Empress is correct, and you've guessed The Chariot)
  

• if the correct card is a court card (Queen, King, Knight, or Page), and you've guessed the exact court figure even if it is from a different suit (Swords, Wands, Pentacles or Cups). So, if the King of Cups is the correct card, and you've guessed the King of Pentacles, you win.

If your guess fits either of the following criteria, you will win a free generic one-card reading by email or brief mp3 recording (note: not covering a specific question):

• if the correct card has the same element (Sword/Air, Wands/Fire, Pentacles/Earth, or Cups/Water) as the card you guessed, you win. You guessed Six of Wands and the correct card was Four of Wands.
  

• if the correct card is a number card with the same number as the card you guessed. So, if the 10 of Cups is the correct card, and you guessed 10 of Swords, you win.

******

Again, here are the contest instructions:

You must post your guess to me today via one of the following:

• Contact Eva form (in the right column of this blog)
  

• Facebook Messenger

• Twitter direct message

• Direct email, if you have it.

Have fun! 😍

And the CARD OF THE WEEK is...

Queen of Pentacles

from Universal Waite Tarot

art by Pamela Colman Smith with recoloring by Mary Hanson-Roberts

 

Here's a big thanks 💓 to those of you who played along to guess our CARD OF THE WEEK!

Unfortunately, not only did our humble, thoughtful, lovingly concerned Queen of Pentacles elude all of you, but you guessed neither a Queen of any suit nor any Pentacles card.

 

So...sorry to say...no winner. 😢

 

Not this time, at least. But I think I'll try this contest again in March. So, keep watch for another chance to win a reading!

In the meantime, for the rest of this week, do enjoy the Queen's practicality, steadiness, and nurturing energy. She is the monarch of all things necessary for secure, healthy material life and growth. She will remind you that you can find the power of care and resourcefulness within yourself. Like her, you will ground yourself within the beauty you find all around you--including that which you yourself have created or attracted to you. Enjoy this embodied moment we call life.

Surprise! You get one extra day to enter our CARD OF THE WEEK contest!

Hey, all! Guess what?

I'm offering an extra day for you to get your contest entries in, and I've repeated all the instructions below!

Please be sure to reach me with your guesses by tomorrow afternoon--Tuesday, February 1, 5pm Eastern Time.

And Happy Lunar New Year!

Your hostess, Eva Yaa Asantewaa
