Tarot for the 21st Century!
Pearls of Wisdom Tarot
Hello everyone, this is a great site and I have posted a few images to whet your appetite for more. The Pearls of Wisdom Tarot is in its second edition, and has received some awesome reviews.
I am open to questions and may even ask some advice. I am working on a journal/work book to go with the deck, that explains the meanings of the symbols more thoroughly. I will also write more about the process I went through to create the deck, which I hope helps others who set out on their own journey through the tarot.
When I started I was very ill, and deeply depressed from the loss of my health, my young son and mother, all in a short period of time. Painting the tarot was art therapy for me, I painted what I needed to see, hence the bright colours. The originals are 30x40" and 24x36". One day I hope to have a show/event with the paintings.
I have recently been interviewed on Tarot Pathways, I will post the link when I know it is up on the site. I am jumping into the tarot community with both feet. It is my hope that my deck will help others, as it did me. After 20 years of being sick, I am getting well again, and I am loving my little grandson, who is much like my late son Shea.
I am open to questions, comments, and suggestions for the journal/workbook. I hope one day to be able to offer a class with it.
Cheers
Roxi

Hi Angie, You are most welcome the positive energy is what I love to hear. Enjoy, if you have any queries, let me know. Have you looked at the cards through a large magnifying glass. They go 3 D

Hi Roxi!
I love your deck. The colors are so vibrant
and strong. The cards really touched my heart as well as my visual senses.
My favorite card is the Death card. It is how I hope things will be once I have crossed into the next world, from a muted place to a vibrant reality.
Thank you for sharing and I am glad it is on it's second printing.
Cheers and looking forward to your workbook as well as the art show you really should have.

Hi Rose Red, thank you so much! I am glad the deck touched your heart, as you know it was a labour of love. I am working on the workbook/journal, it will be my project for this year. I have already been talking with my printer. He showed me some really nice parchment paper for the journal part. I am sure it will take its own time, but with everyone's encouragement I will put my mind and time to it for sure.
One day I will have a show somewhere, and I will definitely let you know where and when. I love the idea of people dressing up as characters from the deck. I love paper mache' and did make some props from the cards. The problem is that I've no where to store them once I have made them, the tarot paintings already fill my closets. lol
Thanks again for your support I really appreciate it.
Cheers Roxi

Hi Roxi,
I enjoyed both of your interviews. I have actually enjoyed listening to them a couple of times. I have a question though. You told Dax what kind of paint you used from Canada for your work. But I listened several times and did not understand what you said. Could you please repeat what kind of paint you used? I myself can't draw a stick figure so I am always in awe of those who can draw and paint. I am wondering if I can use this particular paint to use on photographs.
Thank you so much. Your deck is so full of great spirit.

Thanks Dawn, the paint is from Kroma http://www.kromaacrylics.com/ they sell on line. It is amazing acrylic paint with beautiful bright colours. I haven't tried it on photographs so please let me know if it works for you. I would think it would depend on the paper it is printed on.
I am glad you enjoyed my interviews, those are the first and it is a little daunting. Both hosts were awesome though. I hope you enjoy the deck.
Cheers

Thank you so much for the info. I will let you know who the paint works!! I also like to Art Journal using collage and I would like to try the paint on that too. Have you ever heard of Soul Collage by Seena Frost?
I think you did a great job on your interviews. I hope you get inivited to Beyond Worlds. You would be terrific.
Best wishes and happy painting!!

you are most welcome, if you check out the murals on the web site and see the one in Enderby on city hall, I was involved in painting that one, you can probably tell the bride was painted by me. We used these paints and they are still as bright as when they were painted.
You can use acrylic medium for collage it works well. I haven't heard of soul collage do you have a link? Also what is Beyond Worlds. I am currently working on a workshop/book/journal and would love to give workshops in the future.
I am now working on a series for a show in Jamaica next year... must keep painting...
Cheers

Beyond Worlds is another Blogtalk radio program on tarot. She has over 100 shows with some really great guests. Blogtalk has a couple of other tarot related shows as well. If you want to check out SoulCollage you can go to www.soulcollage.com. Check out the samples. It is very similar to tarot only much more personal. And really fun if you like to collage. You end up making a very personal reading deck for yourself. Of course you will end up with a mess of ruined magazines. They have Soul Collage workshops too. Let me know what you think.

Hi I had a look at the soul collage, I used to teach collage when I was a teacher. Maybe I will contact beyond worlds too. My deck is now only available through the publisher and amazon.com, so I would like to get it out there so we can sell the remaining stock, then it will be oop. Thanks for the connections, cheers Rox
