3.) Luna's Card Quotes - RWS: 6 of Cups.

"It's ironic, isn't it? That someone who was the most important person in your life...

Who shared the highs and the lows with you.

Who shared the good and bad parts of your life with you.

Who held your hand in your roughest and saddest times.

Who smiled and gave you a great big hug during your accomplishments.

Who was there in all the important times in your life.

Who you shared your life and your love with.

Who knew that most important person in one point of your life...

Could just end up as a stranger you pass by like nothing."

2.) Luna's Card Quotes - RWS: Devil.

"Stop blaming and start being! We attract what we are. We attract who we are. If you don't like something in your life, look only at who you are. Who you are is why you choose the friends and situations in your life. Who you are is why you choose poorly, or fail to choose wisely. Stop being a victim! If you do not like a certain behavior in others, look within yourself to find the roots of what discomforts you. The conflicts we have with the outside world are often conflicts we have within ourselves."

— Bryant McGill


It's ironic, isn't it? The good must go with the bad, the negative must go with the good. It's all about appreciation, in a way, when the good and positive comes, appreciate the hell out of it! Enjoy it, feel blessed and be in bliss when those times comes.
When the bad and negative comes, be strong and keep your resolve, do not let it control you, you are the master and your feelings are yours to control! You are not bound by them. Be strong and keep faith. Believe in yourself and don't let yourself become someone you're not.
Improve and admit your mistakes and try to be better. You must accept the good with the bad, the negative and the positive. All things go hand in hand. One thing cannot live without the other, if not, how can we appreciate what we have?

Take life by the horns, don't play the blame game, don't hold on to things you shouldn't, accept things for what they are, even if you don't want to. You need to. Don't disillusion yourself.


With love, hope and positive energies

1.) Luna's Reflections - RWS: The Hermit

So, the other day I was with a friend, I brought a deck of cards with me, because I always, always bring at least one deck with me when I go out or meet up with a friend. Just for something to do and in case I'd like to do a random reading or if I'm bored and want to look through the cards or do random self-reflection.

Anyway! I was randomly looking through my cards, my trusty old Rider Waite Deck, and I decided to pick out a card, I wasn't really thinking of anything nor did I ask anything from the cards. I just shuffled the deck and picked a card from the very top and I got....

The Hermit.

I had to chuckle at that one. Second time I've got that this week. Heh.

I've mentioned before that I had to accept my Hermit phase of my life.

I've always been awfully shy throughout my life, I was a bit more outgoing as a child, boundless energy and mischievous nature every child goes through, you know? But as soon as I hit pre-pubescent age, and after moving so much as a child and losing friends and not being able to keep a friend for long for one reason or another. I never did develop my "social skills" properly.

So you can guess that I spend a lot of time on my own. A lot of time on my own.

There was a time that I spent a lot of my time yearning and waiting around for the few friends I had to call me up and invite me out. I did this a lot and my pride would always fall and wound itself. I was never one to go out and make the initiative to invite someone out. I always felt like I was bothering them so I would creep back into the shell I kept around myself.

Now enough anecdotes! Hehe, kinda embarrassed to share all that. Oh well. c:

Anyway, my reflections towards the Hermit card: This card has always been known as someone who willingly takes the road most people don't take, this card is always about that person who doesn't follow the crowd but instead seeks fulfillment inside himself, this card is about the person who would rather have his own company than those of others. Basically this card should be called the "Introvert" card of the Major Arcana, haha!
I don't know, I would consider myself an introvert for the sake of that I'm quiet, I DO like my own company and I'm very shy. But I've come to learn that being introverted isn't just being shy, it's about liking, being fond and content being on your own. And I see that a lot in this card. I can see myself as the Hermit... But the thing is. It's lonely. It's lonely always being by yourself and having no one to talk to and sometimes, your own mind can be your worst enemy... And by being by yourself, your mind is almost always the only thing you have for company. It's just a matter of how you spend your time alone, I guess. I think what the Hermit card is trying to say to me is exactly that: To accept myself in my entirety. To do things I like, to do things I love, to do things I am passionate about... To reconnect with myself. To love myself. To be able to be content with my own company. I am me and I deserve to love myself, as any person should.

With this blog, I've been beginning to see that and it fills me with such warmth  and satisfaction. This site is my baby and this site has helped me so much this past week. Who knew writing would be so blissful? [Rhetorical question, hehe! I've just never experienced it to this extent I suppose.]

Well, that's all for now.

I'll see you on the flip side, darlings.

With love, hope and positive energies

How Luna got into Tarot

I've been exposed to Tarot a LOT actually. I've seen it in passing on shows, movies and even played a VERY important role in a video game I LOVED as a teen. Yet, in all those times, I've never had the interest in pursuing it in any shape or form. Never had the compulsion to search about it and learn about it.

But one day, I was reading this random little short story on Reddit as I do regularly. The story wasn't even that good. Not compared to a handful of other stories I've read on the site, but the thing is... The protagonist mentioned knowing a medium, a psychic, that read palms and Tarot cards... And then it was like something missing was finally found.

Once I read the words "Tarot" I thought to myself.... What were those things? So I went onto trusty Google Search and read up all I could about 'em! I finally realized that I've seen these and read about them and even played a video game about them!

I fell deeper and deeper into the Rabbit Hole known as Tarot. I fell in love with the Art, the Symbolism, the History and the Lessons it has taught me.

Nearly a year later and 20-Odd decks in my possession and I still love it more than I did 8 months ago and more than I did yesterday. There's so much to learn and experience with Tarot. I can't wait! C:

[I did this in response to the Group Tarot Together and I'm loving this group! Really helps prompts me in my writings. So thank you everyone!]

Intro to an amazing group I'm in!

I'm Luna Oracle, I recently started doing a blog, a first ever for me, it's mostly Tarot related but mainly just about me and my thoughts.


Tarot has been something I've loved for nearly a year, it's something that helped me cope with some things over the past year and I have to say, Tarot makes me happy. It helps me express myself and it gets my mind going.

Right now I'm using Tarot as an exercise to help me with my writing and to get pent up energy released. In real life I'm very much the Hermit but I've always wanted to be the Empress, nurturing, loving and wanting to help others to grow. I don't always get the chance to do so however, so I'm learning now to accept and further pursue my "Hermit" phase in my life. c:
There is one thing I've always believed in: There will always be meaning behind an action. Subconscious or not.


Now why would I choose the Tower? It's such a scary card! The Tower is crumbling, everything you've worked hard for or have ever known has crumbled beneath your feet.
I've always felt like I needed to rebuild myself. Change friends, change locations, change myself. I admit, that's not a good thing to do, but sometimes it's needed. Sometimes you need to destroy, to find out what's truly inside. Sometimes you need to destroy... To start over a better beginning.
The breaking down of walls between people, of seeing each other in a new light, good or bad. Of deepening the connection because you chose to let the walls down so you can better get to know each other deeply. That's beautiful.

To be honest, I've always loved symbology, learning the meaning behind things and learning how to interpret that. It's why I loved psychology, body language and the like. I love the idea of knowing what goes behind a person's actions, feelings and thoughts, just for the sole reason of finding it fascinating, as humans, to be able to be so different, yet so the same.

Now for my favorite card: It is the Tower from the Dreaming Way Tarot.

I chose the Dreaming Way Tarot because I've always found this particular Tower card, the most impeccable, most beautiful and most well made Tower I've ever felt such a connection to.

We swayed, twirled and danced under the Vampyres Sun.
We were Lovers in the deepest pits of Hell.

1.) Luna's Card Quotes - Wisdom of the House of Night: Honesty.

Today I used my new Wisdom of the House of Night Oracle.

I got.... The Honesty Card!

To be honest, I got nothing out of this card. I mean, the art is beautiful, the card's meaning that it's trying to portray? It slips over my head.
But the word "Honesty" it really got my head moving because the other day I stumbled upon this quote that really moved my soul.

"I think people would be happier if they admitted things more often. In a sense we are all prisoners of some memory, or fear, or disappointment - we are all defined by something we can't change." -Simon Van Booy, The Illusion of Separateness.

This quote really moved me for the fact we not only refuse to be honest about our feelings or about ourselves, we hide behind masks, we make up persona's about ourselves to other people, but also because  it's one thing to be honest, it's another thing to be honest and hurting other people.
When we're being honest, ask yourself this "Will this help someone improve? Will this help me? Is this needed to be said? Can this hurt someone? If it does, is it worth it?"
If you do end up hurting someone with your honesty, own up to it. Talk to them, communicate and speak openly about your feelings and their own. This is why we have mouths and hearts, you know! C:
Sometimes we need to be blunt and end up hurting someone, even if we don't want it to happen. So learn to be gentle and sensitive, communicate with them and help them. Listen to them.

Respect them and their feelings, be sensitive to their feelings and be sincere.

Card(s) of the day - Dark Fairytale Tarot

I was planning to do just one card spread, but as I was shuffling, halfway through before I felt I was done, three cards slipped out and laid face first on my lap. I decided to read them since I felt a resonance with them.

I used the Dark Fairytale Tarot, I bought this deck around half a year ago and haven never used it since.
It is made by Lo Scarabeo.

The cards were, in order: The Hermit, The Star, The Fool.

Hermit: Today I will be spending time on my own, and I have been spending a lot of time on my lonesome. In the picture, we see a hooded figure, but in this particular card, the Hermit is turning sideways to stare right at us, or at least, past us. At first you'd think it was a woman with long white hair, but if you look deeper, this "woman" has a beard. A flowing, white beard. I was kind of surprised by this, as I said before, I never used this deck much but a few times.
As I look deeper into this card, I feel as if it is asking me to look deeper within myself, not only that, but to make a balance with my male and female side, to make a perfect balance between mind and heart, soul and body.
With the high, snowy mountain in the background, and the cold snow surrounding him and his lone wolf companion, I feel like it is asking me of be more level-headed and to be methodical in my personality, to not allow myself to panic and drown myself in my feelings.

Star: With such an otherworldly scene before us, millions and billions of stars above us, we instead focus on what's before us, a lake that is reflecting the gorgeous lights in the sky. An angel sitting by her lonesome with an elegant silver jug, not the usual two jugs, and she is pouring the water on what looks like the rock in front of her, not directly onto the lake itself.

This is an interesting intuitive take on the Star card, what is usually a card of Hope, Miracles and Wish Fulfillment, I see this card as a nurturing card, first and foremost.
I can imagine her watering a hard, cold and dry rock, the fact this angel is pouring water onto the rock signifies that something in my life needs to be rejuvenated. To be able to let that part of ourselves shine like the stars above and for what is inside to be healed and revived.

Fool: Ye old stumbling, bumbling fool. Naive, immature and not very experienced. That's what we come to know him as, but he is also so much full of potential, the potential to grow and improve and be everything and whoever he can be. The potential is always there.

Here I see her with a mask of a fool. Blank faced but with the jingling bells of a hat, customary for the fool. There is a sort of hidden wisdom behind this particular fool. Hiding behind a mask for so long, maybe I've forgotten something about myself..? Forgotten an experience and the lessons I've learned throughout my life?
With the red background, the dark, red burning sky above the fool and the roses in her hands: Passion
Have I lost my passion? Have I spent so much time being someone else... I've lost something so precious to me as that?





Final Thoughts:
The fact that all three cards jumped out are of significance, but not only that, having three Major Arcana cards pop up in a reading means that this is a "Major" part of my life that will have some sort of change or significance to me.
This will be the type of change or major occurrence that will happen in recent times as well as it being more internal, than external, with how the cards are being shown. Hermit, Star and Fool. Lone figures.

*Sighs* This bodes more questions than answers.

Anyway, thanks for reading and take care!

I'll see you on the flip side, darlings.

With love, hope and positive energies

1.) Luna's Quotes

"If I could start all over again, I would. If only just to feel the whole process of loving you and experiencing all the things we did before, the good, the bad, the ups and the downs. I'd do anything to re-live it again. With you." - Luna Oracle.

Original Rider Waite Smith Tarot Deck: Quickie Review

Hmm, this is mainly supposed to be a Tarot & Oracle related blog, I seem to have forgotten to mention that in my earlier post. Time to rectify that!

Today I'll be doing a "Quickie Tarot Review" on the Original Rider Waite Smith Tarot Deck.

This here is the Deck only version.

The Deck comes with 78 fully illustrated cards, a small LWB with instructions on how to use the cards with a sentence or so of interpretations on said cards with some keywords.

The tuck box is kind of flimsy, but with handled care, can last a while. Mine jumbled around inside my bag with all my other stuff and is still in fine shape a year later! C:

And this one is the Tarot Pack version. It's much more larger than the deck only version, since it has more room for a small little book that is the same size of the cards, roughly. It has a small diagram pamphlet of the Celtic Cross spread, I believe, showing on how to do the spread.

The book is useless though, it's basically saying the same things as the LWB (Little White Book) from the Deck Only version, but in an actual small booklet, not made of pieces of paper  flimsily stuck together with staples.
But if you're into that kind of thing for collections' sake, not to mention having a fairly sturdy box to store your cards in whilst inside your bag or purse, than have at it.


The quality of the cards:
The cardstock is amazing!...
If your preference is sturdy, thick and you want the cards to last a long time? Then this deck is for you!

The cardstock is nice and thick, not at all glossy or shiny, it's easy to side shuffle, it's not too slippery and it has a nice matte finish.

This will be hard to riffle shuffle for those with small hands, seeing as the cardstock is thick and not very bendable or flexible, you'll really have to force it a bit to bend as you ready to riffle. Because of its thickness, those with small hands will have a hard time getting the whole thing, even if split, to fit into their grip when they're getting ready to riffle shuffle.

The cards are the normal size of any standard RWS type of cards.

In terms of the art, people either love or hate the Original Rider Waite Smith,
The ORWS has a fairly murky coloring, out of maybe all of the recolorization of the Rider Waite Smith, the ORWS is the most unclear, foggy and the colors are quite darker.
It is the most evident in the King of Pentacles, you can barely see his face with how... Well, the best word would be "pixelated" it is. I don't have a picture of it right now, but if you do have the deck or know someone who does, you can see for yourself. It can be quite hard to read with it for some people because of that.

This should not be confused with the Standard, yellow box Rider Waite Smith, though.
The Standard Waite is a more thinner, but papery feel to it, from what I hear, the Radiant Waite is more glossy and thinner as well, along with the Universal Waite, but the Commemorative Waite Smith has the same cardstock as the ORWS, but the Commemorative's art is more of a tea stain type of coloring with more subdued but clear pictures.


Final Notes: A nice beginner deck, sturdy cardstock and works well as a general deck.

Illustrated by Pamela Coleman Smith

Cardostock: Thick, matte and not at all glossy or slippery.

Packaging: Deck only tuck box is quite flimsy while the Box Pack is quite sturdy.

Card Size: 2.75 x 3.75 in.

Cardbacks: Blue and white Tartan backings, non-reversible.*


*(The flower in the middle is 5 pointed. So if you remember which petal is pointing down correctly, you'll know if it's reversed or not. But if you simply ignore it or forget, it can easily be reversed.)

Well, that's all for today, darlings! Sorry if I'm a bit rambly, I've never been good at organizing my thoughts on paper. Haha! I know I said this would be a quickie review, and it is, however it's more of a "Technical Review" more than anything, it would be a more full blown review if I gave out anecdotes and more of my own opinions of this deck, but I didn't so much so this is a quickie-ish review.

I hope you enjoyed this and gleamed something from it.

I'll see you on the flip side, darlings.

With love, hope and positive energies.
