Echoes of Old Gardens

I was born into a family of card players. Before I encountered tarot, I had already formed a relationship with the suits, the court cards and the rhythm of the pips.

You would probably already know this, but the relationship between the Tarot and the playing cards is not that distant. Both systems share common roots, yet they have evolved differently, offering somewhat different approaches to divination. Just take look at the Queen of Spades and the Queen of Hearts. Pick them up and compare. Cartomancy is a thing!

This is a quiet portal dedicated to the study and practice of historically rooted European esoteric traditions, with particular attention to cartomancy, plant knowledge, ritual practice, and the slow cultivation of inner understanding.
