In which we purify a plethora of decks, and one has something to say...

We smudged all our decks last night, under the light of the full moon. We also smudged all our boxes, pouches, crystals, and working tools. It took a long time. I also gifted my best friend with a deck I have had for several years that has never once spoken to me, and has in fact repelled me. She, however, has always been drawn to it and sees the literary references in it that I can see, but am not nearly as familiar with. I wasn't even going to smudge it, I felt that disconnected from it. It felt right to gift her with it, because she sees layers in it I don't. So blessings to my Vampyre Tarot, may you flourish with your new mistress.

As I smudged my Revelations Tarot, I recalled how Ang was with me and it spoke so strongly to both of us that day. As I laid down a fan of now purified cards in front of me, the top card began to glide,and as I watched it, it moved straight towards me. Obviously, this card and deck has something to tell me. The card was the one you see here, the Page of Cups. Here is what it says in the companion book:

Page Of Cups

[intepretation]
She rejoices in her cup - it represents her intuition of which she holds dear

[reversed]
She dives deeper into the ocean floor unaware of the dangers around her. She doesn't sense them as she is careless and blind folded

[symbols+images]
The golden princess or Page of cups embodies the exploration and study of the cup. Here she raises it high as her vessel not only for containment of her emotions but also a medium of which she will learn to explore her empathic abilities.
She is the student of the cup.
The two ornate fishes, which circle her, are her familiars - the Piscean pair. They heighten her awareness on an intuitive level.

The reversed side Page dives blindly to the bottom of the ocean floor, proving her skills and intuitive gifts. However she fails to "see" the dangers of the tentacles around her prize, which will keep her down forever.
Her brashness nature and heavy influence of her emotions will cause her more hurt than good.

Colour: gold and purple - royal colours
  

I think it speaks to me in reference to my study of the tarot. I also think it was extremely appropriate, considering what I was doing last night!

In which we dread the coming of April 14th, which is on our shit list.

Winter’s breath of filthy snow
Befrosted paths to the unknown
Have my lips turned true purple
Life is coming to an end
So says me, me wiccan friend
Nature coming full circle
I’m the green man
The green man
