Cardslingers Coast to Coast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Welcome back to the “every card in the deck” series. We’re back with the Two of Swords, which happens to be a stage card. These cards often suggest we are looking at a movie or a fantasy scene rather than one rooted in reality. Here, we are being asked to calm our minds to make a clear decision. The moon reminds us to use intuition; even the blindfold tells us to go inside.

Today, we’re getting into the Two of Cups. This card is about trust and equality; no one needs to worry anymore. There is so much to unpack in the Rider Waite Smith deck. Lis dives deep into the symbolism and how it relates to the meaning, while Hilary reminds us why this card is excellent for relationship readings.

We dive into the Ace of Swords and the immediacy it brings. Swords bring up thoughts, how we use our voice, and put ourselves forth for change. It puts an edge on things and brings our ideas into focus. Melissa, Hilary, and Jaymi break down the Ace of Swords in various ways and how to tie the card into ways you can use the initial spark of action.

Homework: What cause can you lend your voice to? Take up the sword and think about how you can volunteer your time and money. Listen to some of our examples if you need ideas.

The Ace of Cups has a comforting vibe. Cups relate to our emotions or things that ebb and flow in our lives. The Ace runs over, showing the honest, true source of the waters of life. The cup offers nourishment and receives love in any shape it comes.

Homework: Figure out what is medicine and poison to yourself. Make a list and keep it handy for when you need self-care. Also, download the app Finch (both Android and iOS).

Aces are the first step of each minor suit. In this case, we relate the wands to the element of fire and a season. It can be the idealized focus for Wands. It’s the ember of the fire seen in the suit. It’s a spark of the idea or connection. They help focus the potential energy into focus.

Welcome back to the cards. Hilary, Lis, and Jaymi kick off the minors. We see the minors as the day-to-day nitty-gritty items of our lives. These cards are broken down into two aspects: the numbered cards and the court cards. There are four suits to the 56 cards. Each one has its association with an element that relates to one of the four elements: air (swords), fire (wands), cups (water), and earth (pentacles/discs/coins).

We’re going to reveal the numbers as a whole. So you’ll get four episodes detailing the aces, the twos, etc., and then we’ll give a wrap-up. We’ll begin with the Ace of Wands starting next month!

Homework: Separate your deck into majors and minors. Look at the minor arcana and see what comes up. Then, do a reading with the minors and a majors-only reading to see how each reading deals with the same topic.

Two weeks ago, we had our 100th episode. Instead of doing a recording, we did our first YouTube Live on our very own YouTube channel. We took questions for viewers, brought Kendra, the producer, on, and had fun. Here's the recording from that.

Hilary and Jaymi talk about their journey into right-sizing their tarot collections. Whether it’s because you run out of space or self-imposing a container size, it’s good to take a peek at your collections and see what you have and whether or not it’s still loved and useful for you.

Please read (and download) Jaymi’s article on right-sizing your collection, published in The Cartomancer Magazine (volume 8, issue 2, summer 2022). She is allowing everyone to download a free copy of her article. Homework: Please share images of your deck collection with us.
