Tarot Daybook of Spiritual thoughts and advice

Posted on February 25, 2011 at 4:41pm 0 Comments

Since the beginning of the year, I have been blogging a series of posts that I call “Tarot’s Spiritual Messages of the Day.”  The result is an online “DAY BOOK” of spiritual advice from the cards. For example, yesterday’s post was a spiritual message from the Four of Cups.  (See it here: http://jamesricklef.wordpress.com/2011/02/24/four-cups-spiritual-message/)

Contra-positive cards -- Finding Tarot solutions!

Posted on July 17, 2010 at 1:30pm 5 Comments

In my latest blog post I introduced a revolutionary new way to find solutions to the problems that the cards can reveal, and I'd like to find out people's reactions to it. The initial reactions have been very good, but I would also like to hear feedback from people who use it. So I look forward to hearing about your experiences!

Hi James, Welcome to The Tarot Guild. I have looked at your website and found it very interesting indeed. Tarot is expanding all over the world now at a great rate of knots, it is such a vast subject. Regards David.

I am a big fan of James' work! I always recommend his Tarot Tells the Tale and Tarot - Get the Whole Story books to new Tarot students and experts alike. James was kind enough to spend four hours with our local San Diego Tarot Meetup back in July of 2009! I got an autographed copy of his Tarot of The Masters deck and book directly from him and he was kind enough to autograph my tattered and dog-eared copy of Tarot Tells the Tale. James' Tarot Affirmations fits right in with my concept of Tarot and The Law of Attraction... it's not to be missed!

Thanks for asking about the Legacy deck, James. I enjoy the artwork very much and your comments in the book were very helpful. I am now trying to find out more about the tarot and the more common standard deck types. It is a pleasure to get to know the Tarot a little better.

Blessings,
Axel

Thanks for your reply James!
Actually I'm on holiday in Thailand so I'm missing the arctic weather in Canada. I work in southern China - not frigid either but the temps are also below seasonal. Crazy weather everywhere. Good to meet you.
Blessed Be

Dear James:
Thanks for the invite. I was on a Tarot list some years ago, but don't remember too much about it, apart from one of the main contributors insisting on calling me "Bro".
I enjoyed hearing you talk on Dax's show a couple of weeks ago. Your thoughts about the Tarot are enlightening, and it's always interesting to listen to readers doing a reading.
Yours,
John Ballantrae

THanks for the report, Victoria. (Wow, you sure get around!) I know that T:GTWS has been published in Russian, but it's interesting to find out how widely it seems to be distributed.
Hope you enjoy the kindle one. :D
Best,
James
