I had a really good time at @tombenjamintarot.bsky.social s tarot conclave last night, I'm still thinking over the cards drawn, individually abd collectively. It was restful, thoughtful and a boost for my tarot practice.

ANYWAY the test deck has arrived and it's BEAUTIFUL. the white on the logo will be silver foil (they don't silver foil the test deck in case you decide to alter it - the dies to silver foil cost £70ish to make). The cards are exactly the same as before & feel great. very excited! #tarot #tarotsky
a black box. It has a white stylised crow and the words "queer crow death magic tarot" written on it

week five: re-perceiving

Look what I just got!! 🤩

Out on October 7 from @crossedcrowbooks.bsky.social, it's the Modern Fortune Teller's Field Guide by one of my favorite #Tarot teachers, @tombenjamintarot.bsky.social (and no, I'm not just saying that because he's a very handsome & smart gay man 👀). The book rocks! 🤘🏻🔥
Photo of Lane holding up a copy of The Modern Fortune Teller's Field Guide by Tom Benjamin, foreword by Maria Minnis (text on book cover in hot pink lettering over an old painting of someone reading palms & cards in black & white). Lane is wearing a dark grey T-shirt with three dancing white skeletons holding the green, white and blue striped Pride flag representing men & masc folks who love other men & masc folks. PRAISE FOR THE MODERN FORTUNE TELLER'S FIELD GUIDE "As a writer, teacher, and tarot reader, Tom Benjamin is the most wonderfully tempered blend of a warm, supportive friend with a sharp, witty, "tell it like it is" provocateur. In The Modern Fortune-Teller's Field Guide, he challenges readers to dig deep and discover just what we mean by fortune and fate, truth-telling and empowerment. While poking at our fears, biases, and unconscious loyalties and assumptions, he simultaneously provides a comfortable, conversational container to support our growth. Anyone who strives to be a modern soothsayer (truth-speaker) would do well to immerse themselves in Tom Benjamin's delightfully stimulating Socratic schooling." - Lane Smith, author of 78 Acts of Liberation: Tarot to Transform Our World (Plus two more blurbs, one from Charlie Claire Burgess, author of Radical Tarot, Fifth Spirit Tarot, The Gay Marseille Tarot, and Queer Devotion, and one from Jezmina Von Thiele, co-author of Secrets of Romani Fortune-Telling)
