this is turning into an interesting thread! I bet we can learn a lot about people by asking these questions.

Just realized, after posting this, you asked which I most identify with -hmm. Well I love The Star but find I'm becoming more and more pessimistic as I get older, so not sure I identify with it as such. Though it's interesting. Maybe lurking inside is that still, small voice that says -'It's still there!'

The star = hope and optimism - even joy? Or maybe I just feel happy today! It definitely reminds me of my youth.

I agree Jilly - great thread!

The Magician or 'Jongler' from the Mythic deck. This picture is of Hermes with the pentacle, caduceus, cup, and sword before him on a rock at the junction of four roads. All sorts of symbolism there!

MTGirl - I like the 9 of coins a lot to me she suggests growth and progress and also support. As a single mom in college you are definitely taking on a challenge. I'm not a single mom - but I am back in school and I struggle even having a partner at home to help me with work/school/life balance - so kudos to you for taking it on - you're awesome .

Eileen - the Star is one of my favorites in the deck! I just love it when it appears puts a smile right on my face. It always seems to show up when I'm about to get a sign or some little synchronicity in my life that says "yep - you're on the right path!"

Thanks for sharing ladies!

I used to get a ton of the Tower. Haven't had a reading in years, so maybe my life has smoothed out a bit. I hopes.

I have always liked the queen of swords. I imagine that the reason why is probably fairly obvious to many of you I write medieval novels and the heroines are always skilled with the sword. It has been my escape all my life to imagine these tales.

I enjoy the no nonsense kind of feel of the Queen of Swords. She is indeed a very empowered woman who is very skilled and smart. I think she is a positive card for being disciplined. I also love that you write Medieval novels how cool is that!

This is the same card that the Witch who taught me Tarot reading and counselling most identified herself with. :-)

Dear Christin -

I do value the idea of doing things well in a focused way. I would always choose do something carefully and correctly vs doing it haphazardly and quick. I want to do my best to help everyone!

Ian - interesting, how would you describe her personality?

I identify with the Queen of Wands. I am also drawn to the seven and nine of coins and the three and seven of cups.
