Anointing Tarot Cards
I was chatting with my mom the other day and she decided to get her tarot cards out. As we're playing around with some spreads, she keeps going on and on about how her cards smelled like the rosemary and incense she keeps in her tarot box. It inspired me to bless and anoint some of my newer tarot cards and I wanted to share my process!
My Wild Unknown Tarot made its way to me around my birthday and things were so busy I never got around to anointing them properly! THE TIME HAS COME!
GRAB SOME OILS AND FOLLOW ALONG!
1. Cleanse and Clear your work space. I chose to sage, pick some crystals and light a rose colored candle.
2. Organize your deck into three sections: PIPS - COURTS - MAJORS
3. Pick an essential oil that vibes with each section of the deck OR decide on a single oil for the deck. I went with rosemary, lavender and eucalyptus.
4. Freestyle a blessing for your cards. I included the blessing I wrote below for reference but yours can be shorter OR longer! Whatever suits you!
5. Use a Qtip to rub the essential oils of your choice along the edges of the cards so the artwork is not effected. (A little bit goes a long way)
6. As you anoint your cards recite the blessing you have prepared.
7. Give Thanks.
Its a simple little ritual but I find it to be very effective! Let me know how you bless your cards!

MY BLESSING
Universe,
I ask that this rosemary cleanse and clear my pip cards. I ask that the smell of rosemary activate my third eye and allow me to see daily life clearly. I ask that timing will jump out at me and start to become natural to me.
I ask that this lavender cleanse and clear my major cards. I ask that the smell of lavender awaken my inner goddess and allow me to see the big picture clearly. I ask that past life connections draw my attention and speak to me as I continue to work with this deck.
I ask that this eucalyptus cleanse and clear my court cards. I ask that the smell of eucalyptus connect me to the many personalities of the tarot. I ask that messages come in loud and clear when court cards come up. Thank you for these blessings.
<3 Chelsea

Wtf: Weekly Tarot Forecast 3/30 - 4/05/15
Beginning of the week - Death - We're starting the week off with some sweeping changes. Its time for winter to blossom into spring. From the ashes of death we are reborn. Right now we are motivated to build ourselves up bigger, better and stronger. If we embrace change this can be a supporting energy. If we reject change we can find ourselves getting swept up in the current feeling very out of control. Embrace the flow of the universe.
Middle of the week - Temperance - We need to step back from the hustle and bustle of life to find our inner peace and balance. It is tempting to run yourself into the ground this week but you must find time to replenish your cup. If you are not feeling centered and balanced it will throw off your energy in other areas! Take a cleansing bath with sea salts and essential oils if possible. Make time for yourself and honor that time by not feeling guilty.
End of the week - Ace of Coins - Wrapping up the week we have money on the mind. An opportunity to start on a fruitful path is here and it might be just the kind of change we were looking for in the Death card earlier this week. Be practical in your planning and keep a firm grasp on the inner workings of your newest endeavors.

Wtf: Weekly Tarot Forecast 3.23 - 3.29
Weekly Tarot Forecast for 3.23 - 3.29 using The Chinese Tarot by Jui Guoliang
Beginning of the week - The Sun - This week starts off with a bang! Confidence is running high and we are feeling really in tune with our life's purpose. The Sun brings success in all areas of life, but especially in love and creative pursuits. Leo is ruled by the sun and brings warmth and generosity of spirit to the table. Believe in yourself and anything is possible.
Middle of the week - The Moon - There is a softer more introspective energy towards the middle of the week. The Moon encourages us to follow our intuition and have faith in things unseen. It can bring intense and sometime prophetic dreams. Getting in touch with our feminine energy will help us to find the path of least resistance to our goals. Do not push things to happen at this time allow things to happen organically.
End of the week - Five of Coins - As we approach the end of the week things get a little tighter financially. We have many responsibilities pulling at our resources and we must be careful to budget accordingly or we might be left eating ramen until next payday. Don't be afraid to ask for help or support. If anyone owes you money now would be a good time to collect!
