This week’s Minoan Tarot cards. This deck is my creation, made the old-fashioned way (ink on paper) and available at bookstores everywhere. Lord of Labryses: This card represents a person who behaves in a decisive way and who may be impatient with others who are not as resolute. This person holds strong opinions, is knowledgeable about the reasons behind their opinions, and often tries to persuade others to agree with them. These strong opinions may change frequently as the person picks up new information and adds it into their thought process. This person is not deceitful – they honestly believe in what they’re selling, whether it’s a product, a belief system, or their own opinion. Just be aware they may not always be right, no matter how convinced they are of their own good judgment. Maid of Daggers: The Maid of Daggers represents creativity and imagination unfettered by in-the-box thinking. This card represents not so much a set of actions as an attitude and worldview, especially that of refusing to accept traditional forms and boundaries in any creative endeavor, whether it be artwork, writing, marketing, or any other type of expression that requires imagination. This card depicts a person who has not yet internalized the restrictions society puts on each person’s creative vision. This may be due to the simple innocence of youth or to a purposeful rejection of any set of rules imposed from outside. For those who are new to these card draws, each week I pull one card from the top of the deck and a second card from the bottom. The top-of-the-deck card (the first one, on the left) gives us some helpful hints about how to navigate our week. The bottom-of-the-deck card (the second one, on the right) is the “secret treasure” that can help us find joy in these Interesting Times. https://www.minoantarot.com/ #Minoan #Tarot #pagan

Yes, folks, I wrote a romance novel! It's Minoan-themed (a total surprise, I'm sure 😉) and is set among the bull leaping community of ancient Crete. It's lightly spicy - apologies to those of you who were hoping for more steam. It is, however, plenty angsty and emotional, and it has the desired happy ending, because Adelphos and his new love deserve that much. For more details, and plenty of places to find it that aren't named after a South American river, go here: https://www.lauraperryauthor.com/leap-a-love-story #books #bookstodon #GayRomance #HistoricalFiction #Minoan
