Tarot: Deck Interviews - Tranquil Willows Tarot

It's been almost a year since focusing on the blog.  In my tarot studies whenever I get a new deck I always do an interview spread.  It just dawned on me I should post them to the blog.  Over the next few weeks / months / whenever I have time I will be uploading the interviews.

This week I'm going to start with my newest deck: Tranquil Willows by Rowan Saille and Tranquility Fearn

New Deck Interview
...5…...6…
……4……
...3…...2…
…...1…….

1. Tell me more about yourself; What is your most important characteristic?
**The World - Capturing the essence of allness. This deck has its unique world. Can be used in many ways.

2. What are your strengths as a deck?
**5 of Wands - Fairness, seeing both sides of conflict. Helping in making decisions. Learning to work with rather than against.

3. What are your limits as a deck?
**4 of Discs - Relating this to the decluttering aspect, the workbook may be cluttered with too much options. Putting things in boxes. Traditional for better or worse.

4. What do you bring to the table; What are you here to teach me?
**2 of Wands - Pondering knowledge, making plans, having a trusted advisor. Helping to strategize internally. Bringing inner power back into balance.

5. How can I best learn and collaborate with you?
**2 of Swords - Balance, easing the mind. The deck seems to insist on meditation and inner journeys to find solutions.

6. What is the potential outcome of our working relationship?
**Warrior of Wands - Assisting in moving forward, especially when feeling vulnerable. Opening of heart and self. Moving with the flow,  discovering where life can take you.

My impression/overview:  Working with this deck can be a positive endeavor. It has a unique view from it's triangular world. It is traditional to RWS, though the author of the booklet (Luna Blancas) is inspired by several decks to bring together insights into this one.  This is the cluttered aspect that, while it's good to have differing view points, can become information overload.  I love the triangular shape of the cards.  Along with the cards pulled in this spread it gives the feeling that when I need to make a decision between A and B it may offer a C solution that I wouldn't have otherwise considered.  The messages seem gentle enough, which falls in line with the "tranquil" part of the name. I don't think this will be the deck to give me brutally honest answers, but will rather lead me in the direction to find those brutally honest answers within.

Today's blog will be showcasing The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit Deck by Kim Krans.  This is a beautifully illustrated oracle deck.  On the surface the meanings behind the cards are simplistic, however these simple reflections to ask oneself can have you diving quite deep into yourself.

Dreamwork: Creative Triggers for Lucid Dreams

Lately a few people have mentioned to me the occurrence of "weird dreams," or dreams that are rather vivid and busy. Weird is a subjective term and means different things to different people, but I assure you that "weird" is quite normal in the dreamscape. Weird, strange, or peculiar dreams can be one of the best spring boards to dreamwork.  In my experience I have three different types of dreams: lucid, prophetic/psychic, and the typical strange dream we're all used to. I'll start by discussing my experience with lucid dreams because they require triggers. In lucid dreams I become aware that I'm dreaming.  I know that I am the conscious creator and if I feel the desire I can mold and shape things in the environment, including the people, places, and scenarios.  I can decide to sit on the ceiling, ride a bike through the air, or become another person. In my Strive to be Lucid post I mentioned that when you start becoming lucid you may startle and

Dreamwork and Crystal Combinations: Chrysocolla, Howlite, and Unakite

"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one." - John Lennon "All we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" -  Edgar Allan Poe Dreams have always fascinated me. I will be sharing my experiences in a new dreamwork blog series. I have been able to lucid dream from a young age.  Growing up, and in my adult years, I continue to work with dreams, interpret, read and learn what I can about dreaming, and the dreamscape. What does "working with dreams" mean exactly?  I purposefully do things in waking life to encourage things to happen in my dream life.  If there are herbs, crystals, foods, drinks, music, or meditation said to enhance lucid or psychic dreaming, you bet that I'm going to try it out.  I will discuss more of this in future blog posts. First thing I want to talk about is this particular crystal combination because I am thrilled with the results.  (Even though this is not necessarily the most important thing in
