This week’s Minoan Tarot cards are an interesting pair, pushing us to look at where our thoughts lead us and how that affects our lives. This deck is my creation, made the old-fashioned way (ink on paper) and available at bookstores everywhere.

Ace of Labryses: This is the basic presentation of the suit qualities of Air: mental activity, the power of thought to mold the world, new ideas, the ability to reason and find the right answer, and the acquisition of knowledge. This is a card of strength in the form of mental fortitude, the ability to puzzle out the best solution to a problem and stick with it in the face of opposition. This is also a card of change, since new ideas tend to shake up the established order and many will resist change, but it is often for the best.

Seven of Rhytons: This is the card of wishful thinking. You’re not being honest with yourself, and this is causing problems. You may be afraid to face some unpleasant aspect of your life, but this card suggests you need to face it or the situation will become even more unpleasant. Chances are, the people around you have already caught on to the fact that you’re lying to yourself. If you continue to do so, you’ll lose their respect. If you don’t face the truth, not only will you cause yourself problems, you’re likely to miss out on opportunities you haven’t even considered because you’re so focused on the way you want the situation to be rather than the way it really is.

For those who are new to these card draws, each week I pull one card from the top of the deck and a second card from the bottom. The top-of-the-deck card (the first one, on the left) gives us some helpful hints about how to navigate our week. The bottom-of-the-deck card (the second one, on the right) is the “secret treasure” that can help us find joy in these Interesting Times.

It's almost time for the Feast of Grapes! My muscadine vine is gearing up for harvest, and I'm getting ready for the Minoan celebration of Dionysus and his gift to humanity.
