The Wise Woman’s Tarot by Flash Silvermoon

I will be offering a new feature for Pagan Ways. Grannymoon has asked me to do a 3 month reading for all the signs of the zodiac so that each of you can keep up with your shifts and changes during these ‘interesting times’.
I will be using my Wise Woman’s Tarot so I thought that it would be best to give you a little taste of the Divinatory Tool itself;
Meet The Wise Woman’s Tarot…….

The Wise Woman’s Tarot is a multicultural, matriarchal book with colorful companion deck. It celebrates the global female lineage in 78 powerful images.
Flash Silvermoon’s scintillating text and densely symbolic card designs are rooted in the body of ancient esoteric knowledge. Together they make r/evolutionary inroads into the very structure of the Tarot itself. In short, Flash’s work forges a sacred marriage between ancient wisdom and progressive thinking.
An accessible tool for divination, The Wise Woman’s Tarot will deepen your understanding of the Ancient Mothers’ wisdom. Speaking clearly to beginners, longtime Tarot enthusiasts and adepts alike, The Wise Woman’s Tarot strives to raise the evolutionary bar for all!
The Wise Woman’s Tarot has been developed independently over some 25 years and is a completely woman-identified Tarot deck & book.
As a Dianic Priestess, Flash is motivated to demystify and share knowledge. Her work is set forth in a flowing, readable style in this comprehensive 200 page volume drawing heavily from her accumulated wisdom and personal experiences as a professional reader.
The text of The Wise Woman’s Tarot achieves academic quality, widely researched, packed with well organized information available through essays, card descriptions, anecdotal stories, example readings all supported by a comprehensive index, footnotes, bibliography, charts and appendices. The book itself is also beautiful with all the cards shown in full color and dozens of related photos.
The writing is deep and evocative, going into the akashic records and ancestral lineage of the Divine feminine as represented through cultures the world over. Flash offers an engagingly-readable blend of arcane knowledge and matriarchal heritage, the details of which are thoroughly captured in her card designs, illustrated by Barbra Vogel following Flash’s guidelines.

I will do these readings for you on a three month basis intuitively drawing 3 cards for each sign. Then I will write a brief message generated from each card.
You can read the appropriate message for your Sun Sign. If you know your Rising Sign, I would suggest that you read the cards for that sign as that may be a more accurate reading as is the case with astrological messages in general. You can even read your Moon sign cards and blend the whole deal into your 3 month reading if you want to be thorough.
I invite you to join me on a Magical Mystical Journey to the innermost reaches of the Cosmos where the Akashic Records open wide to reveal signposts for your special path.
Feel free to dim the lights and fire up your incense or smudge bowl and the candle of your choice…. or just get comfy and open your Third Eye where all mysteries unfold.
I enter the Magic of the Wise Woman’s Tarot with perfect love and perfect trust come with me now!
