This Fool's Journey

My Pretties,

      It is so nice to meet you here at the beginning of my story. Starting today, I embark on a journey through the infinite depths that is the tarot. I am the fool, the vagabond, the gypsy, the novice.  I carry no map to guide my way. I have only my innocence, my sack and my dog and I am setting off, unaware. Unaware not only of what this new adventure will bring, but also of what is directly in front of me... Of how quickly I will step from the solid ground of the here and now, and into the topsy-turvy world of divination.

      During this journey through the cards, I will be exploring each of the 78 cards in depth.  What does it look like, smell like, taste like...? How does it make me feel inside of my heart of hearts? I will research each archetype within the tarot, dedicating an entire week to discovering all I can about every aspect of each card and the divinatory meanings ,  personalities and characteristics they hold. I will use multiple depictions of the classic tarot, reviewing books, decks, other readers and tools of the trade along the way.

      It has been a long time dream of mine to dive deep into the study of divination through the tarot and FINALLY I have the means, time, inspiration and drive to take that leap and become consumed by the study of all things tarot! I have decided to blog about my journey here as I feel led throughout the week, with a weekly overview of what I learned posted every Monday night.

       I am so incredibly excited to be taking this leap...  these first steps to becoming who I am truly meant to be... to Becoming Madam Jonquil!  I sincerely hope you will follow along! Grab your sack... Let's go!
