30 Day Divination Picture Challenge Day 20 - Favourite Tarot Bag

Tarot bags should be unique and have some magic about them. Be creative and make one yourself, or perhaps someone has given you a handmade bag as a gift, or buy one from someone you know. You could also pick up an usual bag in a vintage or charity shop. 

My favourite is a passport bag made from recycled sari silk fabric. The number of bags made of each design is limited depending on the quantity of the fabric available. 

The fabric shown is no longer available, but you can buy similar bags in my shop, where I'm also selling my handmade one-of-a-kind crochet drawstring bags.

The deck kept in this bag is the Tarot of Vampyres. 

Warmest wishes,

Christiane

I am Your Fantasy - A Tarot Poem

I am your fantasy,

your escape from reality.

You only know part of me,

my worst you will never see.

One night a week

you embark on a trip of shame

to experience ecstasy

in a haven away from tedious fidelity.

Those few precious moments you live in the present,

a long way from homely mundanity

feeling the thrill of slow surrender,

drowning in the sea of love infinity.

Imagining a new life with the lover you hardly know,

except every inch of her body,

far away from judgement and false morality,

in a parallel universe, just you and me.

Discarding all you once loved happily

in exchange for sexual alchemy.

Hoping for the flame to burn forever,

determined to fall from grace causing calamity.

But stop. I am reminding you now, right here

that I am just your muse and fantasy.

Your temporary escape from reality.

I will never let you see the worst of me.

For one day the tides will turn, change on its way,

nothing ever stays the same,

turning fantasy into reality and a new mundanity

will be the end of you and me.

Tarot Astrology: Sun in Scorpio, Full Moon in Taurus

Tarot of the Vampyres  © Llewellyn 2010

It's full moon in Taurus tonight, and I dare to admit that I've nearly missed it!

Trying to combine half-term holidays and Halloween preparations with a busy workload is my lame excuse, but here we are, at that dark time of the year, when Scorpio's intense emotions and transformational powers are kept in check by down-to-earth Taurus.

Since it is Halloween in two days time, I have chosen the zodiac card images for today's post from Ian Daniels' Tarot of the Vampyres; Death (Scorpio) and the Hierophant (Taurus).

2012, the year of the Hierophant, is soon coming to an end, and according to the Mayan calendar a new era is beginning on the 21 December. Scorpio is the sign of transformation, so it is an apt match with Death as its Tarot zodiac card.

Scorpio/Death as the current sun sign influence may encourage a strong urge within ourselves to follow our primal needs and emotions, which can indeed bring about long-lasting changes and an unsettling time ahead coming to terms with the new order we are creating.

Tonight, the energy of the Taurus full moon, the Hierophant, will help us determine, if we want to go all the way into an unknown, risky, adventurous direction or stay as we are, in a secure but unexciting comfort zone.

But the Taurus/Hierophant energy is not entirely a killjoy; it may prevent you from making choices that are completely mad, bonkers and regrettable in a few months time.

Whatever direction the Death/Hierophant energies are taking you over the forthcoming 24 - 36 hours, they will most likely be for the best.

Warmest wishes,

Christiane
