Tarot Journal

I think it's important to spend a lot of time and effort picking out a Tarot journal. For some, a simple spiral notebook might be just fine, although the risk of your journal becoming dog chow is a lot more likely. For me, divining is more fun and I'm more inclined to continue with it if holds a little mystery.

For my Tarot journal, I decided on a soft, leatherbound book I found at Barnes and Noble. It's simple, elegant, and most importantly, it smells really good. Here are a few pictures:





I'm going to make a grimoire a little later, when I have more to contribute to it. Until then, this little book is going to hold all of my divining secrets.

So far, the most I've done are a few Tarot readings and an Astrology reading as a little birthday present to myself. I've got a few projects lined up to work with, including using the Tarot cards to write short stories (an exercise recommended by Barbara Moore).

The pages in the picture above are actually the beginning of my personal guide to the Major Arcana cards. I'm working on furthering the textbook meaning of the cards with my own view of it to develop my own Tarot reading style.

I'll post some of my ideas for the Major Arcana cards as I get a few more done. I completely recommend starting your own Tarot journal. It'll help you go back on your mistakes and understand what went wrong. It's already helped me, and I'm still a certifiable noob.
