to pick the winner i made a list of everyone's name who commented. then i randomly choose 24 tarot cards from my lovely salvador dali deck. amanda then shuffled them up until her heart's content and handed me each card which i then listed next to a name on my list, in order, so each one of you has your own tarot card. they are listed below so if you want to go check out what the card that was drawn for you means, you can over here at learn tarot. there are many other resources online and in books, but i find this one very accessible, especially for beginners. here is a source that outlines the meanings of reversed cards, since so many of you got them and the above website doesn't go into detail about the meanings of reversed cards. ** EDIT** please don't be alarmed if your card seems "bad." investigate further on the internet or library, or get a true reading from a skilled reader in person. i only give "true" readings in person, when i get a sense of that person and their energy. xoxoxo

Wow those cards are amazing. And to read up on the reverse tower, seems to match my current month, very strange.

Congratulations to Ingrid What a clever idea & a Salvador Dali deck. Thanks for the great link to interpret - it's a keeper for sure! Mine was "Strength" - perfect but I'm still working on the "patience" part. It's my bane. I’ll be in touch regarding the BPOE. Jenn
Yeah!! I won! I won! I love that you used tarot. Though I am a bit horrified by the interpretation of my card, I can't wait to enjoy my prize! Thank you for doing such an awesome giveaway.
You girls look so lovely in these pics! I love the Salvador Dali deck...I only break mine out once in a while though. I use Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot. I also follow his method for interpretaion regarding reversed cards.
Everything has two sides...so when you pull any card it's reversed meaning is ever-present. It's more important to look at how one card relates to another. For example if you pull the Lovers card and the Devil card appears near it...the Lover's card would be ill dignified...and would point torwards the Shadow/or reversed aspect of the Lovers Card...It's important to know upright and reversed meanings of the cards...just as it's important to know our own Shadow...
If you are already pretty familiar with the Tarot I highly recommend Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot. It's way progressive! Okay enough Occult geekery!
