Learn some methods for breaking in your stiff new Tarot deck: Breaking in a Tarot Deck.
I am Silverlotus, author of this site and a Wiccan who has been practising for over thirteen years. (Read more about me here.) I belong to the UEW tradition of Wicca. I am an eclectic solitary, meaning that I practise my religion alone, and bring in aspects of other faiths to the basic Wiccan framework.This site contains essays about my thoughts on different aspects of Wicca. This includes essays to help the beginner, like Buying Books and Tools for Learning. You will also find essays aimed at more experienced practitioners, such as a look at Deity Concepts, Circles, and book reviews, to name a few. In the Tarot section, you'll find information about what Tarot is, some beginner exercises, and basic card information.
Finally, a new article for the Wicca Section! You can read about my take on the history of the Rede and how we can live it every day in this essay: An Examination of the Wiccan Rede.
Also, if you happen to be interested in cross stitching, head over to my blog and check out the draw I am holding. Leave a comment on this post before midnight Eastern on June 7, 2009 to enter.
I’ve added my blue and purple colour conversion of Nora Corbett’s Letter H fairy to the cross stitch section. You can find it here.

This evening I posted two new Tarot articles:
- Getting to Know the Cards – an exercise you can use to introduce yourself to all the cards in your new Tarot deck
- Selecting a Tarot Spread – hints for picking the right spread to give your sitter the best reading possible
I’m also working on an article about the Wiccan Rede, but my notes seem to have gone missing. The last time I saw them was Earth Hour, so I’m starting to give up hope. With luck, though, they will turn up soon.
The navigation menu problem has been fixed. Yay!
New articles are being written and should be posted in a couple of days.
It appears that a plugin has broken my navigation menu. I’m not sure how to fix it right now. In the meantime, you can get around the site by using the site map. With luck, I will have the navigation menu running by the end of the day.
As I was sitting down to type up some new material for the website, I realized that it had gone missing. To be fair, these were notes from before I had the baby, written more than a year ago. Goodness knows where they have gone. Normally I’m very organized, but as anyone with a child knows, chaos follows babies. I’ll try to find the notes, or do my best to replicate them. I’m still aiming to have a couple of new reviews up by the end of this week.
I’m also considering offering free one-card Tarot readings again, via email. I’m curious if anyone would be interested. As always, you can contact me here. Please don’t request a reading at this time, though. Just let me know if you might be interested.
I’ve finally moved over the last page from the old site. Everything that was available on the old, purple site is now here. I will soon start setting up permanent redirects from the old site just to make sure that nothing disappears for anyone.
I’m so happy to finally have everything moved! Now I can concentrate on writing new material. Thank goodness!
More and more of the site is finally getting moved over. The Tarot Reviews section is now here, along with a new review: The Daughters of the Moon Tarot.
I hope to add review of the following decks sometime within the next month:
- Lover’s Path Tarot
- Touchstone Tarot
- The Process audio book
- Maat Tarot
- Liber T Tarot
- Llewellyn Tarot
Approximately half of the Tarot section has been moved over. My goal is to have everything here, and the old site properly redirected, by the end of March. What can I say, when you have a toddler, things take a lot longer then they normally would.
As always, comments are happily accepted.
Esther, the email address you provided bounced. Please contact me again, and double check the address you provide. Thank you!
