My children never seemed to have any interest either in my work. They just thought mommy was "weird" and seemed to be embarrassed when they were young. Now that they are both grown adults, they are very interested and ask questions. It doesn't appear as if either one of them are interested in doing it however - only having me do it for them! LOL Love your kitty, by the way. He looks just like my cat, TaoZen. Much love, Theresa I really enjoyed this post. My children never seemed to have any interest either in my work.

Tarot speaks to our deepest self through the symbolism and imagery, kids are so wide open, I think tarot speaks to them in a very pure way. Your daughter is so beautiful, (looks like mommy!) and she's having so much fun! I love that she's making her own too. Mine copy of Fairy Tale Tarot has shipped, can't wait to get it!

I love your work. I am not a tarot fan (or nonfan), but I have a fairy tale blog named Diamondsandtoads.com. Also, I am starting an online magazine about fairy tales called EnchantedConversation.net. Have you done any "Sleeping Beauty" art? Please visit the site for contact info. Your art is lovely!! Hi!

It is a wonderful way to expose them to myths and legends of all kinds in a format that is accessible and utilitarian. Not to say we aren't book-loving folk, but this would be a nice addition to their ever growing thirst for fantastical narrative and visuals. Hearthcricket: Kyra is a natural with the cards. Connor is more the querent type. Both kids want me to read the cards and accompanying stories every night. The display of tarot/oracles in that photo is only a portion of my collection. All of my tarot books and additional decks are in my studio--ready for my inquisitive hands.

Her expressions show how excited and thoughtful she is while musing on the cards. She is a natural reader, I think! Timmy looks entirely relaxed and I love your tarot display. I am sitting sideways trying to see which deck is what! Fabulous post and photos of your daughter doing a reading! Her expressions show how excited and thoughtful she is while musing on the cards.

Myths, legends and fairytales are taught in elementary schools all over the world, of course. I've often thought that tarot cards would be a great teaching tool to ignite the imagination of the kids. If we give people a bit more time to get over the remnants of 'tarot stigma' from the Dark Ages, I think your deck will be THE deck to do it!

Reading your responses, it occurs to me that children really have a lot to teach us about tarot--to keep an open, unhindered mind when looking at the images. I always thought that adhering too much to presets can actually stop the flow of the reading. Watching Kyra's intuitive expressions (or reading about Melanie's grandaughters' enchanting narratives) is a reminder that one can yield some amazing, interesting results by just letting go and allowing the cards to reveal inner truths.
