Favorite Current Deck

I love all my children equally, but probably Spolia Tarot.

Tarot Pet-Peeve

Beautiful cards printed on terrible cardstock.

Favorite Card(s)

The Tower and The High Priestess

Trickiest/Least Favorite Card(s)

Hierophant, but mostly because I simply do not vibe with the majority of decks that use imagery of a Pope. I don't have a personal relationship with that imagery and I think it's a weird choice for how I interpret that card.

A Moment when Tarot Called You Out

Every time I try to avoid making a decision and try to make tarot decide for me. It's always like, nice try dumbass but you have to figure this out yourself.

Favorite Breakthrough with a Card

The Tower for sure. I think there is a lot of opportunity when this card comes up to let those structures fall around you without letting it devastate you, taking a breath, sorting through the rubble, Marie Kondo-ing the pieces and letting go of what doesn't serve you so that you can rebuild better and stronger to move forward in a really aligned way.
