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.

This week’s Minoan Tarot cards. This deck is my creation, made the old-fashioned way (ink on paper) and available at bookstores everywhere.
Two of Horns: This is a card of motion in the physical world, of short-term changes in fortune or in the material arrangement of life. Because the number two cards always represent a balanced duality, there will be gains to offset any losses, either literal or figurative. But change and motion are real, and this card calls on you to join in the dance, skip along with the parade, go with the flow. The changes are for the good, even if the upheaval is hard to handle at the moment. Be flexible, focus on the positive, and you’ll make it through this period before you know it.
Four of Horns: This is the card of possessions and possessiveness. It may mean a strong feeling of connection with the legacy your family has left you, whether that’s genealogy, a financial inheritance, a family home, or a family business. This can be a good thing if it gives you a strong foundation for moving forward in your life. Respecting the material foundation of your life while holding it loosely requires a great deal of self-control and internal authority. This card reminds you that the material items of life only have value if you use them well and keep them in perspective, which can be a hard thing to do. We humans are all too easily seduced by shiny things in the material world. Hold your shiny things with a loose grasp.
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.

This week’s Minoan Tarot cards encourage us to stay patient - not always an easy task, but one that’s usually worth the effort. This deck is my creation, made the old-fashioned way (ink on paper) and available at bookstores everywhere.
Youth of Daggers: This card represents the potential for material inventiveness, but this potential needs to be developed with sound training in the appropriate fields. Enthusiasm and natural talent are helpful but will not substitute for mastery of skills. This card suggests a lack of patience with study, the desire to skip the learning curve and plunge directly into big plans. Hard as this lesson is to learn, plunging ahead without the proper background is a mistake. Training need not dampen your natural enthusiasm or blunt your talent; consider it a refinement of those qualities rather than an antagonist to them. Training will improve your skills so you can achieve more satisfaction from them.

Did you know that I write historical fiction? What was life like at the end of the Minoan era, when the Mycenaeans were occupying Knossos and the Late Bronze Age collapse was on the horizon? Experience that time through the eyes of the last priestess of Malia! More details and content warnings (spoiler: there's no happy ending) here:

This week’s Minoan Tarot cards. This deck is my creation, made the old-fashioned way (ink on paper) and available at bookstores everywhere.
Priestess of Labryses: This card represents the embodiment of the qualities of Air in a mature person. This includes being quick-witted and good with words, honest and forthright, and knowledgeable. This person likes to share their ideas but is equally interested in listening to other people’s ideas and truly values them. The Priestess of Labryses never rejects any proposal out of hand but honestly considers it. This individual has a strong sense of justice, not just following the rules, but true justice in a deeper sense, which may or may not match the rules. While the Priest leads others, the Priestess helps others lead themselves through example and encouragement.
Strength: This card represents your will, endurance, and resolve. This includes the ability to overcome your fears and the daring to do what you know needs to be done. It also means maintaining your composure, developing a quiet determination, and practicing patience. The Strength card focuses on self-control. This is inner strength, in other words, controlling yourself and either not acting or acting subtly and softly in any given situation. This card suggests that the battle you need to win is inside you, and once you have overcome your own impulses and developed self-control, you will be able to do what is necessary. This is the card of mastery of self, including reigning in your anger and pride and working past your fears.
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.

I've reduced prices so all but one of my ebooks* - fiction and nonfiction - are now just US$3.99! Check my website for lots of buying options, including direct from me in my Ko-Fi shop.
*Apologies, but I'm unable to reduce the price of my most recent title, Pantheon: The Minoans. The publisher sets the price for that one, and I have no control over it.

This week’s Minoan Tarot cards. This deck is my creation, made the old-fashioned way (ink on paper) and available at bookstores everywhere.
Nine of Rhytons: This card represents emotional satisfaction, but only for the short term. It’s like being at a feast – the meal is delicious and the entertainment is diverting, but it will eventually come to an end. That is a natural conclusion and not a bad thing. Enjoy the good times while they last, don’t take them for granted, and understand that everything changes with time.
Priest of Daggers: This card represents the acting out of the qualities of Fire through the life of a mature person. This includes inspiring others through their energy, charisma, and boldness – the passion and creativity of the younger Dagger face cards combined with the self-control and experience of maturity. This card represents the behaviors and actions that make a person a charismatic leader. In addition to being inspiring, this person has the dedication to follow through on decisions. They are liable to be successful and to be supported and liked by their peers and subordinates.
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.
