@MsLauraPerry #MinoanTarot 🌊 It is time to change and heal, but both ways start inside of you, just like the water trying to flow around the world, to clean and nourish the fields and woods 🌍

💫 Seven of Rhytons • the water comes to clean the roads, just as the rain comes to nourish the fields.

The lies tend to accumulate on top of each other like small rocks in a pond, as long as you don't let the water run from inside the water will not take long to get dirty.

In our environment we are seeing that the force of change is seeking to manifest itself in one way or another, but it requires your visualization, your real intention, and your actions to get it to flow like water, once you take action on those aspects of your environment that you are avoiding to move, the change will flow like the water that comes to clean, purify, beautify.

If, on the contrary, you sit and wait for everything to happen, you are going to be seriously disappointed, the change of a community depends on the specific actions of each of its individuals, like fishes in the pond waiting for new water.

💫 Sacrifice (XII) • everything comes for a reason, everything comes with a price.

Change is mandatory, change implies growth, understanding, evolution, sacrifice of those old patterns of behavior and thinking that are no longer useful to us.

The water nourishes the seeds in the fields to end up forming a great tree, as well as the water that nourishes, everything that comes into your life comes to nourish an aspect of you that needs to grow, and many times it also requires releasing, leaving to go. Sacrifice requires maturity, and sacrifice is made to bring something back.

Neither you, nor your environment, nor your country, will be able to change while you sit and wait for the change to occur. It is time to let go of the old belief that "change comes from outside and we must adapt to it", and seek ourselves to be the change we seek to see.

😌 let the change start from inside out, let the change flows, embrace the change, be the change, be the water that nourish the fields.

#TheMinoanTarot Advance at your own pace without putting pressure on others. The personal growth of each individual that surrounds you is not your responsibility.

Each human being and each conscience has come here with a different mission and purpose, and to achieve that purpose they must each embrace their own rhythm and way.Trying to force others to think like you, or to move forward and move at your own pace, is not the right thing to do, and it is not helpful.

The labyrinth of consciousness is built of thoughts and memories, that labyrinth is there enveloping the minotaur, not to retain the beast, but to force him by his own means to use his head and find the way out, but always with a little guidance. external. 

The beast is constantly being fed by fears, childhood traumas and the saddest misfortunes of the past, as long as you do not work on these parts that remain in your subconscious, the beast will continue feeding and at any moment it will get out, free and strong.

Your mission, in these times of anxiety and social division, is to work on yourself, and from the experience acquired in the process, learn to guide others, to let the beast reveal its most human side, its most charitable side, its more captivating side, and guide him by the hand towards the light outside the maze.

As long as you do not work on healing yourself, that work that you are doing to heal others will not give results, you are "healing" them from greed and ego, not from love and empathy.

Remember, your job is to heal the traumas of the inner child, not the adult.

It Is Time To Reflect From Inside Out 🦋🌿 Thanks @MSLauraPerry 😌 #TheMinoanTarot #TarotReadings

I consider myself a very disciplined person, I love my protocols and I can't live without my daily routine. Every two days I read my cards and I ask for a general message trying to understand the energy available and the emotional atmosphere around 🧙😌

In the day of today I catch this very deep social message about the way how we force ourselves to believe we are doing our best, when we are just not moving enough rocks for fear.

In Positive Psychology we consider the Ego, not a enemy, more as a difficult ally, the work of the ego consist in create a barrier that separates you from others, is a way to build a emotional frontier between ourselves and others, especially against their influence to change us, but ego grows faster than others aspects, and is very easy for ego try to take the control over everything, how? Using fear, to create a emotional comfort zone where we feel brave to move.

The card of the Tower is always intriguing 🧐 the world is coming down from inside out, but the build stays in the middle of destruction, just like the inner change happening now in the world, the world is changing faster, but we are doing our best to stay complete. The problem? That fake sensation of safety and comfort, where we stop moving because we think we are doing well.

In my meditation today I catch a message of precaution, about move in different directions, about change the perspective, about see ourselves from the shoes of the person next to us, and understand from a different view, what we are doing admirable good, and what we can do better.

As long as you hold tight to frustration and fear, you will not be able to move forward and take what belongs to you, how to take it? If your hands are busy holding on to fear and a false sense of security, perfectly designed in your field of vision to make you feel okay?

In words of Laura Perry about the Card of The Tower: - All the masks and walls you have built to help you pretend that life is something other than what it really is, are now tumbling down -

The Minoan Tarot (Laura Perry) First Impressions

I just talked about the packaging but how is the actual deck?

The first thing I notice about the deck is that there are a couple borders instead of just one. There’s a colourful border around the image itself as well as a pale yellow border. I mean, it looks nice, but as a tarotist I can’t help but feel that it’s a little excessive.

The Fool is both 0 AND 22 so you can put him wherever you want in the deck.

Major Arcana name changes: The Magician is the High Priest, the Hierophant is the Adept, the Hermit is the Labyrinth, the Wheel of Fortune is Fate, the Hanged Man is Sacrifice, Temperance is Balance, the Devil is the Minotaur. I can see myself being confused by the High Priest and the Adept. I think it would make more sense for their titles to be swapped. Also the Sacrifice card looks more like a Death card (it depicts a cow tied up on an altar). The Death card is an actual tomb. I think I would have preferred the Balance card (which depicts a bull leaper) as the Hanged Man, but that’s just a personal preference.

Now for the minors, here is where I’m going to respectfully disagree with the creator who says on her website that they are fully illustrated. IMHO they straddle the line between “scenic minors” and “pips”. The suit symbols are very prominent in the image. However, they also don’t repeat the way most pip decks do. How do I best explain this? They don’t just add another suit symbol but keep everything the same, but to me they aren’t really “scenes” the way the RWS cards are “scenes”. However I think there’s enough here that I’m not completely lost.

Suits are Daggers (Fire), Rhytons (Water), Horns (Earth), and Labryses (Air), near as I can tell, Labryses are Swords and Daggers are Wands, so Wands/Fire and Swords/Air is the way the deck seems to be going (although personally daggers look like mini swords to me).

Court cards in order: Youth, Maid, Lord, Lady, Priest, Priestess, all with their own associations.

There are a couple spreads, the Celtic Cross is one of them, bleh.

I really like the backs: two labryses on a sky blue background. It’s very calming. 

I’m thinking of writing up a comparison between this deck and Ellen Lorenzi-Prince’s Minoan Tarot. Would anyone be interested?

[gefdreamsofthesea]

The Minoan Tarot (Laura Perry) is my first Schiffer deck (they are more expensive than other publishers so I’ve always passed on them), and I can see where the expense goes.

The packaging is solid. It comes with a full book. The cards are a good size, good stock, shiny. They are just large enough to see the images but small enough for my small hands to shuffle.

[gefdreamsofthesea]

I want to buy the Minoan Tarot by Laura Perry but here’s the thing. One of the exam questions for the Intro to the Ancient Near East course I took where we were given passages from one of her books and asked to point out all the inaccurate information in them, and there was a lot.

A friend gave my professor this book and he was like “well here’s a teachable moment”.

But I do kind of have a Minoan deck sub collection now.

What are your favourite non-traditional tarot decks?

And don’t start a debate about whether they’re “real” tarot decks. If it calls itself a tarot deck, it’s a tarot deck for the purposes of this question.

One of my personal favourites is the Minoan Tarot (Ellen Lorenzi-Prince). I love the limited yet bold colour palette. I love that the suit of wands is equated to “Art” as in human industry and creativity. The one downside (apart from it being non-traditional) is that there’s a clear bias towards interpreting the images through the lens of feminist goddess worship so the figure on the Emperor (called the God) is seen as a deity and not, say, a possible depiction of a mortal king (I’ve also seen some interpret the same image as a minotaur).
