Celebrating World Tarot Day… and Intuitive Arts for Everyone

Posted by Theresa Pridemore on May 23, 2015 in Intuition | 0 comments

Are you ready for World Tarot Day? It’s right around the corner, on May 25th! For the longest time, I was clueless about this holiday. Funnily enough, the first time I found out about it was when I was contacted a couple of years back to be a subject for an article about Tarot and the holiday celebrating it that appeared in The Oregonian. You’d think I’d have been more aware of a day that celebrates such a huge passion of mine (and was a big event at Tarot.com, too, where I...

Pop a Deck in Your Briefcase: Using Tarot for Business

Posted by Theresa Pridemore on May 16, 2015 in Business, Tarot Ideas | 0 comments

I was a budding entrepreneur from an early age and talking business has been a favorite topic of mine since I was itty bitty. I did a lot of kooky stuff to earn my own scratch as a kid: I created paid backyard carnivals for the neighbor kids, held regular garage sales for old toys I no longer played with in my toy box, and set up $.05 face painting days at the pavilion in the playground. I was always looking for ways to be creative, delight others, and earn cash doing it....

Last year didn’t go quite as expected. Not bad, overall… Let’s just call it, “Beautifully tumultuous.” When I started this project, I was gung ho to finish it in record time. I mean, I did most of the work for the Majors in a matter of months. Leapt tall websites in a bound, ran two fundraising campaigns (honestly, much to the chagrin of my bank account as my passion project often took precedence over finding client work). Amazing things happened and everything worked out,...

Embers of the Heart on a Cold, Wet Winter

Tonight I felt a strong urge to write. I have no art news at this time, and the only deck news I have is that it is now available in several stores, something that will matter little to people from out of town. (But if it does matter to you, I can certainly use some help convincing some of the bigger stores to expand to more outlets, which buying from one of the major retailers here would certainly support. You can still get it online, if you so desire to acquire it.) Even...

The New Deck is Here! (And Other Exciting Things.)

Wow, a lot has happened since my last post. I can’t possibly cover it all in one sitting, but let me touch on the important parts. First of all, if you’ve been here before, you may notice that the site has changed! Life and creative pursuits have been all-consuming, and it was about time that I refreshed the content on the site. I also gave the site a facelift in honor of… The new, 3rd Edition of The Portland Tarot Major Arcana deck! Now, I just did a 2nd...
