chag purim sameach! this batch of hamantaschen was chag purim sameach! this batch of hamantaschen was made with my niece and son last weekend, which @philipkinbar took up to atlanta to millie kinbar who celebrated her 100th birthday yesterday. very grateful for these joyous, multi-generational connections.
On the Hebrew calendar, it is the month of Adar, a On the Hebrew calendar, it is the month of Adar, a month dedicated to JOY. While there are loads of tarot spreads for each astrological sign, the phases of the lunar cycle, and around specific cards and themes, I haven't found many spreads that correspond to the Hebrew months. I like to pair introspective work with communal action/activity, and tarot spreads are part of that process for me. So, here's my first tarot spread to meet my own needs... and maybe yours! You can use it for the month of Adar or anytime you want to invite more joy into your life. (Note the formation of the cards is intended to be reminiscent of hamantaschen, a Jewish ritual food for Purim.) I've also pulled some examples of The Fool, which is the card associated with this month per @devotaj_arts. Consider it a guide in moving towards greater joy: more fun and less worry. The first card (designed by @dustincook_ ) shows a rollerskating babe, which is on point considering how popular rollerskating is right now (and rightly so). The second card (illustrated by @ebcorbindraws) immediately made me think of Purim (celebrated on the 14th of Adar), with its costumes and jovial celebrations. I've also included The Fool from the Smith-Waite Centennial Deck, which shows a person with their head in the clouds and seemingly unaware of the drop just before them. My suggestion? Definitely stop and smell the roses, but maintain just enough awareness to avoid falling off any cliffs. ❤️ Spread by me.

THERE ARE PARTS OF YOURSELF YOU CANNOT SEE. this i THERE ARE PARTS OF YOURSELF YOU CANNOT SEE. this is a message for those struggling with imposter syndrome or those who envision a future self they cannot quite believe. if you tally everything you know about yourself, it may not add up to the person you want to be and it may leave you feeling defeated. but there are things about yourself you do not know or understand, things you cannot see that make who you are and who you want to be possible. and how could there not be? all of the work your ancestors did over centuries has culminated in you. magical, fallible, learning, stumbling, growing, persisting you.
