Starting my #MagpieTarot deck!

I’ve wanted to for a while but it felt like a big undertaking — then I realized

a) I don’t have to do it all at once! I already have two loose cards I love, might as well slowly start collecting 😻

b) if I’m drawing & writing a health journey deck, it is going to be probably at least a couple years of process. I’m me, so this involves a lot of research, and I’ll probably encounter more potential magpie cards over the course of researching the deck too.

Yay! you can do this. i’ve got a collection of cards that i can offer to get you started

Oh thank you so much!! I would be honored 🙏🏻💜

Also, deer witch, if you're in the U.S. and have an address you don't mind giving to an internet rando, I'll send you some cards to add to your new card hoard 😸

aww thank you! Yes, I would be SO honored!

if you shoot even just a random emoji to nyx @ nyx mir dott comm i can reply with my address in a slightly more secure fashion

(or lmk your e-address / signal / etc )

okay, that's a fediverse username, yeah? I can do that

edit, i think I misread, is that email or fedi handle?

You asked what my magpie was like. It's the one in the hot pink chest (The purple skull holds my "director's cut" of the

)

So this^^^ is my #MagpieTarot deck. 2 of each major, a full Tower suite of 6 (i think) tower-related cards, 10 Wheels of Fortune, each of the four suits has a fifth court card and an 11th pip card. And then there's a whole oracles-worth of erratic cards

oh I love everything and probably will have a bunch of questions but 1st on mind is SO curious about 5th court card — I just got Royal Blood kickstarter and they added a fifth court card I’m vibing w

I love director’s cut — I only have the mini Sefirot deck sadly so it doesn’t work well for taking for magpie (cursing past self here) but I love how they did 3x lovers, and if I did a directors cut deck I would totally want to include at least their poly lovers & a traditional lovers

oh, the fifth court card is the Princess, in addition to the standard page, knight, queen and king. In the #CrypticaTarot though, there's just 4 courts, in the order of knight, princess, queen, and king
