#TarotTakeOver Day 1-3

#TheHermit - I went more literal. Quasimodo spends most of his life as a Hermit ringing the church bells.

#FourofCups - Andrea sacrifices so much to please her boss that she begins to lose sight of other important aspects of her life.

#TwoofWands - Sexually assaulted at a party, Melinda avoids the truth by silencing herself. She must make the tough decision to speak out against him or keep her silence.

CloakNQuill Tags arent showing up idk why.

The tagged book may not be a strictly introspective book since so many stories involve interacting with others, however it often put me into an introspective mood.

Deck- The Impressionist Tarot

Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira I have never seen that deck, looking forward to see the other cards! 4y
Meaw_catlady Love that the introspection was within yourself ! Also I love Impressionism !!! So beautiful! 4y
Sace @Josee.a.lu.lit.et.lira I'm going to try to use this deck and my Bosch deck for these posts. I love them. 4y

Sace @Meaw_catlady I think the deck helped me pick the book too. I love the Hermit of this deck and one thing I love about the edition of this book is the impressionist cover. 4y
Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira @Sace great impressionist link 🙂 4y
Erinsuereads I agree with all the other comments! I love how the book and the card fit so well together! 4y

After bailing on Tamed by Alice Roberts, I started the tagged and it's already miles better.

And it also works well for #thehermit #tarottakeover @ErinSueMreads @Meaw_catlady

ElizaMarie I am really enjoying this one too!!! 4y
Meaw_catlady I‘ve heard good things about this book! 4y
Erinsuereads I sold SOOOOO many copies of this book! And a great choice for this card too! 4y

So for this tarot prompt I am going with Tyrion Lannister, specifically because of his actions in this book. After committing patricide he leaves King's Landing to begins his journey of self discovery. He realizes his family will always be toxic so he leaves them to go in search of the Queen of dragons! 🐉💖 Tyrion is such an amazing character and I love how he stays true to himself!

Meaw_catlady Have I told you that I have never read game of thrones or watched the show???? 4y
Branwen @Meaw_catlady Whaaaaaaaa?! 😲 No way! I don't think you ever told me that! Is it something you ever want to read in the future you think? Or is it not really your thing? Don't even bother with the show. They ruined everything in the last season. Poor @DaveGreen7777 had to listen to me rage/cuss about it for WEEKS after they aired the final episode! 🤣😂 4y
Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira @Meaw_catlady me neither 😉🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y

Erinsuereads Poor @DaveGreen7777 I swear he holds us all together 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I raged and cussed about the first two seasons of the show then stopped watching 🤣🤣🤣 great choice for book though. It's definitely a different take on the card but I think it's perfect. 4y
Branwen @ErinSueMreads He really does hold is all together! 😁💕 4y
DaveGreen7777 @Branwen @ErinSueMreads @Meaw_catlady BWAH-HA-HA!!! Oh. I have my rage moments, too! Becky had to hear me drop the F-bomb for the very first time during an episode of Star Trek Voyager when I heard who was made captain in Janeway‘s absence... I have very strong emotions when it comes to Star Trek! 😁🖖 4y
Erinsuereads HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That's the best thing I've heard all day. @Branwen @DaveGreen7777 @Meaw_catlady Rachel regularly drops the f bomb during star trek 🤣🤣🤣🤣 4y
DaveGreen7777 @ErinSueMreads @Branwen @Meaw_catlady HA HA! I don‘t think it‘s humanly possible to watch episodes like “Spock‘s Brain” and not drop an f-bomb! That word just fits so perfectly for reactions to that episode, especially in phrases like “WHAT THE F*** WAS WRONG WITH THESE WRITERS” 😂🤣😂 4y
Meaw_catlady @ErinSueMreads @DaveGreen7777 @Branwen it‘s easy to get passionate about Star Trek okay!!!!!!! I will FIGHT people who disrespect it hahah 4y
Branwen @DaveGreen7777 @Meaw_catlady @ErinSueMreads I will NEVER forget that moment you first dropped the f bomb watching star trek together! I'm pretty sure I laughed throughout the rest of the episode! 🤣😂 4y
SpiderCrafts I really like the character picks, each and a few times again for The Game of Thrones Tarot. -- I've given in to watching the full show, while waiting on the eventually coming Winds of Winter. 4y
Branwen @AlobelThee How are you enjoying the show versus the books? I'm so impatient for Winds of Winter to come out! 4y
SpiderCrafts I enjoyed the show, but wasn't quite ready to have my own vision of the book characters changed a bit; always hoping to read it all first. 😄 Watching started with some free seasons on the Rogers Ignite TV, and seeking out the DVDs. 4y

#TarotTakeover #TheHermit

When @Meaw_catlady and @ErinSueMreads drew a card that symbolizes change and personal discovery, I thought of the Wheel of Time series. At the beginning of the series, the villagers of Emond‘s Field are in over their heads, but by this volume the characters have grown so much. Rand is ready to stop running from his responsibilities, Mat is no longer as selfish as he was in the beginning, and Egwene has matured so much.

DaveGreen7777 P.S. I used the ebook cover for the image, as the original mass paperback cover for this volume was terrible and didn‘t even depict a scene that actually happened in the book. @Branwen will back me up on how bad the book‘s original cover was! 😂🤣 4y
Branwen YES I BACK YOU UP 100% THAT ORIGINAL COVER IS BAD! SO SO SO SO BAD! 🤣😂 4y
DaveGreen7777 @Branwen BWAH-HA-HA!!! I knew I could count on you, Becky! 🤣🤣🤣 4y

Branwen Also, great choice for this tarot prompt! It really is AMAZING to think of how much both Mat and Egwene change over the course of the story! Unlike my girl Nynaeve, who remains snarky and ill tempered throughout the entire series! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂👌💖 4y
Branwen @DaveGreen7777 I will NEVER STOP complaining about how bad that cover is! NEVER! 😁 4y
DaveGreen7777 @Branwen Awww, thank you, Becky! 😊 Yeah, Mat and Egwene show a lot of growth by this volume, and one of my favorite moments will always be when Rand reflects on who he‘s becoming and takes a moment to “remember a shepherd named Rand Al Thor”! 😭 4y
DaveGreen7777 @Branwen And yes... Nynaeve remains her hot-headed self... and we love her for it! 🤣🤣🤣 4y
Meaw_catlady I really need to read the wheel of time series !!!! I‘m gonna have to just commit and do it ?!! Thanks for sharing 🖤 4y
Erinsuereads Im living for the commentary @DaveGreen7777 and @Branwen 👌👌👌👌🤣🤣🤣🤣 4y
Branwen @ErinSueMreads 😂🤣😂🤣👏👏 4y
DaveGreen7777 @Meaw_catlady YAS!!! Please read it! 🙏 I think you‘d really appreciate the Aes Sedai, they‘re sort of like the witches of the Wheel of Time world! 😀🧙‍♀️ 4y
DaveGreen7777 @ErinSueMreads @Branwen Hee hee hee 😜 I sincerely think Becky and I should record a podcast one day on all things nerdy! 😁🤓 4y
Branwen @DaveGreen7777 That would be SO epic! 😲 4y

For today‘s #tarottakeover, there are so many that come to mind. But, I‘ve chosen The Two Loves of Lydia Bird! After being a part of Lydia and Freddie for over a decade, Lydia has to learn to live her life fully without him.

Josee.lit.a.lu.et.lira Yes, a great #TheHermit story, especially with Lydua leaving for Croatia 🇭🇷 and finding who she is. (edited) 4y
BayouGirl85 I didn‘t think of this one. Good pick. 4y
Meaw_catlady Sounds like a perfect choice ! 4y

The first book I thought of was Heidi. Her reclusive, grumpy grandfather doesn‘t want a little girl to come and live with him, but her love and cheerfulness change him. #tarottakeover #thehermit

When I saw today's card, I immediately thought of the tagged book. It's one of my favorites, and definitely very introspective.
This is my favorite deck, the Gateway to the Tarot deck by Ciro Marchetti.

I feel like the first sentence in this book says it all as to why I picked it for the hermit card of tarot takeover. Even though this book is as much a story about a Greek family and spans over a century (at least pretty close to it if I recall correctly) - it is as much a story about Cal and personal discovery.

Erinsuereads This has been on my tbr forever! 4y
Jess861 @ErinSueMreads - I really enjoyed the read. I know some didn't enjoy it as much as they thought they would because there is a large focus on family and not always on Cal but it is still one of my favourites! 4y
Erinsuereads I'll have to see if it's still on my shelf and check it out 4y
