[5-12-22] Today’s Tarot of Bones Daily Draw is the Ace of Swords, reversed. If you’re dealing with a difficult challenge, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed! You may not know what actions to take, or even whether you have options in the first place. I know gathering your thoughts at a time like this is easier said than done, but do the very best you can to calm and center yourself, and then realistically approach your situation without doom and gloom assumptions. You might just find that with a little creative thinking a path may appear. Might not be the ideal one, but it’s better than none at all!
You can order the Tarot of Bones deck and book, or purchase a Tarot of Bones reading, at http://thetarotofbones.com/shop/ – and yes, even if you don’t have a Paypal account you CAN use the Paypal option to pay with a debit or credit card!

I found an old document I typed up back when I first started learning about Tarot. I think knowing the meaning of Rider Waite Smith will make things easier when using more unique decks.
The document itself is fairly “organized” but I suggest pressing Ctrl+F and type what meaning you need. Type “Nine of Pentacles” in the search for example.
I used different sources so it’s an extensive list of detailed meanings, Upright and Reversed. It’s kind of a lot of info, but very helpful!
Here is the download link for those interested!

Ace of Tools. Art by Nisse Lovendahl, from The Herbal and Spiced Culinary Tarot.
You may have your everyday kitchen instruments readily available for the taking, but professional chefs often carry around their knife kits in case the occasion calls for a different approach. There is something exciting about the potential that lies in this bag, for it means flexing a variety of potentially unused skill sets rather than relying on your typical tricks of the trade. It takes a certain level of mental clarity to realize the need to reach for something new, whether it be in approach or in knowledge.
The Ace of Tools is a reminder of this impending exciting energy. You are on the verge of a breakthrough, of a new perspective, or of a new intellectual pursuit. Having the intellectual and emotional power to embark on this quest is all that you need to succeed.
Food: The Ace of Tools urges you to expand in ways that seemed impossible before. This may be an excellent time to decide how you want to grow in the kitchen and beyond. Perhaps you want to undertake some long-term investment in your education, like practicing butchery or learning more about a specific diet or type of cuisine. Your journey doesn’t have to be expensive—it can be self- taught. However, it is important that this endeavor excites you in order for you to succeed.
Herb: Water hyssop is used to eliminate brain fog and achieve mental clarity. Its flowers and leaves are edible both raw and cooked. Add some into your diet in order to maintain your current mental fortitude.
Reversed: Just because you feel the start of an idea doesn’t mean you immediately need to share it with others. When you see the Ace of Tools reversed, take some time to meditate and stew on your schemes before you unleash them onto the world.

Six of Cups. Art by Nisse Lovendahl, from The Herbal and Spiced Culinary Tarot.
“Strawberry Milk is a curious drink. It conjures up an image of nostalgia and innocence for the past, and a perspective that is all but lost on our adult selves. There is so much to be learned at that time in our lives, from showing kindness to others to the importance of play. Now is a good time to reflect on those lessons and enjoy a renewed sense of childhood innocence. This card indicates a return to these easy feelings of joy and harmony. You may be experiencing increased easy flow in your relationships or spending more time with children. In either case, prepare to leave your worries behind and to see the world fresh and filled with wonder.
Food: Prepare one of your favorite childhood comfort foods, or dig into your old family recipes. In either case, you will connect with a long-lost part of yourself and your ancestors. It’s a surefire way to remember that food can also be playful.
Herb: More than ingesting the herb itself, now might be a powerful time to explore the link between aroma and memory. Add some vanilla bean into your life to help you feel the child-like sense of enthusiasm of a baking spree.”
