Hello friends! ✨ It’s been a long long time since I posted anything here about any app updates. If you’ve been following along closely on Instagram, you may have noticed a few stories we posted earlier about some changes to the main Labyrinthos App that I’ve been slowly working on....
We’ve probably all been there. We’re in the middle of a reading and the topic, question and intention has already been set or asked. We’re pretty clear about what the goals of the tarot reading are, spoken or unspoken. We understand the context of the situation that is being asked...
Negative tarot readings are just a part of the practice. While they can be frightening, they can also teach you a valuable lesson. We've gone ahead and reframed some of the most traditionally negative tarot cards in the deck so you can get a more nuanced, multilayered interpretation.
If it’s your first time getting a tarot reading (or doing one for yourself) one of the most influential aspects of a tarot reading happens before the reading even starts. Asking the right kind of questions can make your readings productive, illuminating and insightful - and can help steer you...
If you’ve ever drawn a few Court Cards for your reading, and then felt completely dumbfounded by what they could represent, you’re not alone. They have a reputation for being notoriously hard to decipher. Luckily, developing systems for how these cards connect and relate to each other help greatly with...
One of the major requests for content we’ve gotten is to develop tarot cheat sheets for you all to quickly reference when doing readings. And so, I’ve gone ahead and made one for you! Remember, these are just tarot keyword references - meaning that they don’t include the full meaning...
When first getting acquainted with tarot, you’ll most likely hear about the Rider Waite Smith as the standard tarot card deck to work with for beginners. And indeed, that is the most common deck in the English-speaking world that many artistic interpretations of the tarot seem to be based on,...
Once in a while, while reading for both yourself and others, you’ll come across questions that can’t be fully answered using any of of the spreads that you’ve worked with before. You may find closer matches within the many reference books and sites that you find online (including ours!) -...
For anyone already familiar with Tarot, the name Lenormand probably rings a bell by now. We wrote a little post about its origins and a overview of each of the symbols for the cards in an earlier post.
Have you ever found yourself looking through the court cards in a deck and being completely lost on how you can make sense of them? I mean, they’re all just people right? And you don’t really have much to go on besides their clothes and maybe the background in the...
You’ve probably heard that when you get a reversed tarot card in a reading, that it’s bad news. Don’t worry, I’m here to safely say that this is not necessarily true! When your tarot cards are reversed, there are so many ways to think about how that affects the meaning of...
I first came across tarot birth cards when I was part of a regular class with the folks at The Tarot School, a little weekly meet up hosted by the incredibly insightful Wald and Ruth-Ann Amberstone in Forest Hills. It’s been a long time since I’ve attended. I moved to Brooklyn...
The Tarot was linked with Astrology first through the Golden Dawn, an esoteric order whose most prominent members included Aleister Crowley (who authored the Thoth deck) and Arther Edward Waite (of the Rider-Waite deck), both of whom were instrumental in establishing the traditions in tarot that we have today.
The universe is a messy place. Being filled with countless wonders, we seek to understand them all, and as we do so, we realize that human nature finds it natural to categorize things in ways that seem meaningful to us. We look through to the world with the lens that...
It’s easy to dismiss alchemy as an ancient and outmoded form of chemistry - a stumbling block along the history of scientific thought. And that is for the most part, what people outside of spiritual circles do. It gives to the uninitiated a somewhat comical impression: a loony man’s thirst...
