I am currently recovering from a pretty epic weekend. My feet are still too sore to stand for long periods of time but at least the ringing in my ears has stopped.
I am enjoying my last week of semi freedom before University starts full time next week and get a head start on the readings.
Friday night The Scared Grove had their opening night. This is where I am going to be working. I have my first day there tomorrow. It is such a wonderful space to work and be in. Lumina has really created such a wonderful place.

Saturday we celebrated Lammas, the first Harvest of the Seasons. After ritual with Tarot and God statue creation we had our feast out on the garden lawn while enjoying raspberry lemonade drink, wonderful vegetarian food and excellent company.
"Lammas is the 'cross quarter' day marking the first harvest of early grain"Where the first loaf of the bread from the harvest is broken and shared in the name of the Goddess. "
"It's time to begin reaping what we have sown throughout the past few months. "
"This is the season for rebirth and renewal "

Sunday was the Perth Big Day Out. We had perfect weather for the day and a breeze made even the mosh more bearable. It was the first time I had seen any of the acts this year and I was completely blown away by Rammstein's on stage performance and theatrics, they were my highlight of the while day. The other was riding on the big swing ride while Tool was on. All in all, pretty epic time was had by all.

Due to a bit of a slow start this week and the amount of work I have I am just going to post the pictures I took for these decks without separate reviews. I think it is helpful to see what the pack, cards and card backings look like when you think you are going to purchase a deck. These are some of my older ones.
I am looking forward to receiving three new decks soon, they are on their way in the post! I will post reviews of these when they arrive and I am taking some shots from The Vampire Tarot this weekend, finally arrived.
In non Tarot related news I am also eagerly awaiting my battery grip :)
I utterly refuse to go to China in September for work without a super wide angle lens and I can also imagine that it would be awesome when I go down south to see my friends in Albany and New Zealand next year.....*sigh*. My new lighter tripod is doing well, very happy about that little purchase. I am however now on the strictest budget ever thanks to my spending. Thank God for Ebay.
Jolanda Tarot - Hans Arnold - A reprint of the Swedish Witch Tarot.
Stella's Tarot - Stella Kaoruko and Takako Hoei - Republished with fully illustrated pip cards, the only way to be really :)
The Archeon Tarot - Timothy Lantz - Digital Art work. I really love the image of The Fool in this deck but most of the deck was a bit of a miss for me. Don't mind the darkness of the images or the layering, I am just not a huge fan of digital Tarot art.
