I am thinking of trying something a bit different.  I am not really a deck reviewer.  I do have opinions, but I found during my blogging and tarot hiatus that my good 'reviews' are the ones that I did not post here in public.  Rather, the information that I put in my deck database is more concise and more relatable by me.  I record from whom I received the deck, why, and what I like / dislike.  I felt less pressure doing it that way.  So, I thought that instead, I will post the occasional reading from my week with the deck.  I might post them all.  I might not.  Right now, it is important that I don't feel obligation.

So my first reading with the Medieval Cat Tarot is in continuation of a running reading that I have been doing for the last 2 weeks.  It consists of a situation, an outcome, and an advice card.  As I have done these each day, I have found that as I act upon the advice (or not), the situation card changes, yet remains within the theme.  I want to keep doing this until it starts to fall apart.  I am not going to post the previous readings, but so far, the scenario is all about Air - getting more air into my life.  Trusting my intellect and my own mind.  That kind of stuff.  It relates mostly to my career, but also has repercussions in my daily life.

Situation: Ace of Wands (Fire)
The egg as the top of the wand speaks of potential, inspiration, and birth of fiery energy.  Starting to feel the spark of inspiration - starting to wake up and be involved once more.  I am finding creativity and losing apathy.


Outcome: Knight of Swords (Air of Air)
Clarity of mind and purpose.  Energy of inspiration will find a vehicle of manifestation in the Knight.  

Advice: Queen of Cups (Water of Water)
Temper the conflagration of the Ace of Wands / Knight of Swords with a little water.  Keep it from becoming all consuming by bringing an element of compassion and take time to test the waters before plunging forward.
