MAJOR ARCANA TAROT CARD collection:

Imagine you just purchased some new land. You are out surveying it, walking the perimeter. The sun appears from behind a cloud and you see a flash of light out of the corner of your eye. You follow the flash and you come across a rotting log with a metal box. You figure out how to open it and to your surprise you find a mother-lode of silver tarot cards. The cards each have one of the major arcana on them. I have designed reproductions of these tarot cards as a pendant so you can wear them whenever you want.

When I started working in silver clay, I was using textures. Now I am branching out and using molds. Recently I found these great molds of the 22 major arcana and I started making pendants.

It's amazing and sometimes uncanny how tarot cards can show you answers to your deepest questions. When they are read by a skilled reader who uses their intuition and connection to source, deep personal truths are revealed and you can use them to guide your future decisions.

Recently I became to intrigued about oracle type cards including tarot cards, I got 17 different decks and I have been posting them on my Facebook and Instagram feeds. They are so fun. If I pull one each day, it sets the tone for the day.

My favorite tarot card expert is Janean at Tarot By Janean. If you have an open mind and heart, her knowledge is awesome and insightful.
