TAROT SITES & BLOGS

Circle Ways
jameswells.wordpress.com
“Merging soul and strategy through tarot, Reiki, journal writing, council circle, workshops, & classes.” James is generous with his knowledge on Tarot e-lists and his readings are an insightful blend of the spiritual and the practical. I’m honored that he allowed me to include one of his spreads in the Gaian Tarot booklet.

“Dedicated to the diversity & beauty of Tarot. See images of Tarot cards, read reviews of Tarot decks and books, learn about Tarot, receive a Tarot reading, or join the Tarot community.” I sometimes join in the conversation on the Tarot Deck Creation board at Aeclectic Tarot’s tarotforum.net.

American Tarot Association

The ATA Quarterly ezine is so lush and rich, it is worth the price of membership in the ATA.

The Tarot Channel
www.thetarotchannel.com
Fabulous blog / zine / channel. . . Editor in Chief Mark McElroy writes: "reading the site is like watching a cable network dedicated to all things Tarot, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. With eight Tarot-obsessed friends posting multiple times a day, the Tarot channel offers something no other Tarot-oriented website can offer: as many as a dozen new reviews, features, how-to's, videos, podcasts, and web links a day, every day."

COLORED PENCIL ART
When people see my artwork, they often exclaim “I didn’t know you could do that with colored pencil!” Well, you can — that, and more! Visit the Colored Pencil Society of America to see the amazing work that’s being done these days with fine art colored pencils.

I learned most of what I know about working with colored pencils from Ann Kullberg. She has a wonderful ezine for colored pencil artists called From My Perspective. It’s a valuable resource for anyone who wants to work in this innovative medium. Ann teaches workshops all over the country — I highly recommend her as a teacher!
