Tarot, Trent and more household responsibilities

Hmmm, feeling a little *ugh*. No real, easily-discernable reason. Maybe the car dreams last night. Maybe the excess of household responsibilities.

I probably need exercise. I'll cram it in later today, because childcare responsibilities took over this morning.

One good thing: Trent is unbelievably excited about learning Tarot. I can't understand it. He is so into this---and I just don't see why it is so interesting to an 11-year-old. But he's been asking for lessons for years, and I've been saying no until now, so this interest has been an ongoing thing.

** He asked to start with The Tower. Where did that come from? How did he know to ask? I insisted on following up with The Star and focusing on the relationship between the two. Without understanding the relationship between The Tower and The Star, those kinds of periods are just too depressing.

Teaching notes

I'll start Trent on 3-card readings soon, and ask him to observe several as well.

We can begin with observation and treat cards he doesn't yet know as an opportunity for discussion.

I can probably get Michael to oblige and allow himself to be observed during a reading.

This way, Trent can also watch the process of reading, which is really a form of lay counseling.

My prayer to the Universe: I have discovered that books need aftercare, nurturing, and guidance even after they are born. I am still learning to deliver my baby into the world successfully.

Books need ongoing stewardship. I am learning to be a good steward.

Help me learn stewardship!

I had no idea this existed...

...but I like it. Everyone underestimates him, but he is awesome. So is Luna.
