Gianluca (or GL) here!

Cartomancer, wildwood aspirant, gardnerian initiate, & witch in Chicago.
Assuming society hasn’t entirely collapsed 40 years from now, low key hope this’ll be my vintage occult portrait à la Patricia Crowther and them early British gards.

Featuring the Great Mother as the Keeper of the Holy Serpent.

We have tension, then release. Those eight swords relax, giving space for that tiny flower to grow into a single coin. Anxieties are quelled, and the mind can focus. Cultivate stillness before assessing a situation.

Be careful—you’re being played! The distraction in front of you pulls your attention away from the real game.

Not so much a “collective reading” but a reflection.

We look to the past for the secrets guarded by the Popess, hoping to control a grim future. But the Wheel turns, out of our reach. All we can do is stand on the support of beloveds to weather sharp omens.

Notice how the Knight of Cups dawdles off from the intimate party. He is distracted, staring at Death affectionately.

This Knight is all in his feels; but instead of building connections, he mulls over existential questions.

Featuring Hidden Tales Tarot

When reading any set of cards, I keep a motto in mind, which drives my approach to interpretation:

“Nothing means anything, so anything can mean something.”

Meaning is derived from context and not fixed meanings.

A spread fashioned off a sprouting plant.

Center card is your current position
Bottom flanking two cards are the roots—that which is firm, uncontrollable factors.
Top flanking cards are what nourish you
Top card is what's forming in your life

In Wildwood, St Brigid is the lover of Our Lady and the midwife of the Devil. She stands watching the happenings in the Worlds and beholds all who are born and all who die. “She is, as she always has been, the Healer, the Poet, the Smith. Goddess and Saint, we honour Her.”Happy Candlemas!

This is an excellent book on an incredible witch that is sometimes underlooked in the history of modern Witchcraft.
