It’s December 31, the end of the calendar year! It’s also the end of my first real year of studying tarot — which I started a little sluggishly in January 2018. I’m looking forward to going deeper in 2019 — and will have more to say about that tomorrow.

Today at 11:11 am (woo!), I did the Twelve-Month Four-Quarter Projections reading from Benebell Wen; I’ll be reviewing these cards throughout the year month-by-month to see if the arc of the year does follow the cards.

This is the Wanderer’s Tarot deck, which is the deck I use most for personal readings. The basil is the same four sprigs of basil from my garden; the rose quartz is from my tarot teacher. The candle is the Spitfire Girl Energy Clearing candle, which is one of my favorites.
