I have been to a friend in Amsterdam today. She lives near the center I teach there, so I should know the way to her. I thought to take another train, and had to go out in another station (Amsterdam Zuid, for the Dutch, and then I took metro 50 to the Lelylaan). I walked the wrong way in a thunder storm. In the end her friend with whom she lives ( Read more... )

The card tells the future trends of the need for protection. It is difficult to look ahead. I have pulled the Grail Maiden (Page of Cups). She is the Seer of the Cups, and ( Read more... )

Today I received again a Page of Cups, just as yesterday and the the day before yesterday. At least this is how I see this girl, as a Page of Cups. This time I got her as the illustration on the front of a book about dreams someone brought me. Tomorrow starts our course on tarot and dreams.

Today I asked a tarot-question about a passage from the gospel of Mark. This passage is about children. Little children were brought to Jesus, so that he could touch them. Those who brought the children were told not to do this by his disciples. But Jesus said that the children could come and even more, that to enter the kingdom of God, one must ( Read more... )
