The Hit List - G.O.A.T. = Greatest of all Tarot

Folks who know me also know that I love goats. There’s something about their faces that makes me laugh. Perhaps I sense that on some level they have a certain rebellious streak that I can relate to.

My favorite day was when I learned that G.O.A.T. stood for “greatest of all time.” For a goat lover, this was too perfect.

So what does this have to do with tarot?

Well, when I love something tarot-related you know I’m gonna shout it out loud. This week, I received something that I’m calling the G.O.A.T. – greatest of all tarot! What is it that has me so stoked that I can barely keep my cranium on my to-do list? Glad you asked.

I just got the Sawyer’s Path Tarot Tiles from tattoo artist Jamie Sawyer and I have to say: this is a tarot-loving Gemini’s dream.

78 tiny tarot tiles with gorgeous images in a hand-carved wooden box that snaps shut nicely? What’s not to love?

Check this out:

This has given me new life, new things to ponder – and a whole host of ideas on how to work with these bad boys! I’ll be sharing that in upcoming posts ’n stuff. But for now I will say this: GET A COPY.

Oh, if you’re a Lenormand fan Jamie’s got you covered there too. (G.O.A.L. = Greatest of all Lenormand?)

Alright now excuse me because I’ve got some tile work to do. Ahem.
