In this divination I utilize the tarot deck Terra Volatile1 to explore inquires submitted from readers. I draw exclusively from a fifth suit unique to this deck, the Vessels, an alchemy inspired set of cards that focus on the elemental quintessence. In the readings, I reference alchemical symbolism from the manuscript Splendor Solis alongside traditional tarot interpretations for insight and guidance.

Found this in the exact moment that I needed it, thank you! ✨
Glad to hear it :)
Fascinating decks. Coincidentally (or not) I been thinking about the function of vessels or conduits which can be the actual drivers for behaviours and actions above language/words.
Interesting idea! How do you interpret vessels/conduits in this context?
I love your take on the cards and the questions, especially your comments on the symbolism of the alchemy in the Splendor Solis. Thank you!
You're welcome! I've really enjoyed blending tarot and alchemy in the past (I've done classes on it), so it was really fun for me to work with cards that bring the two together :)
Very enlightening! Thank you so much. The cards are stunning.
You're welcome! They are beautiful, aren't they? Their interpretation of the classic 78 cards are really lovely as well.
I think the cards are great. 🙏
Yes, they are really beautiful and a nice addition to a traditional tarot deck.
