What do I call you?
The internet is a funny thing and usernames/aliases come and go, but TLDR; I will answer to all of them. (I am a triple mutable after all.) So, whether you use “Maria,” “MEL,” or “bow,” as long as you’re respectful and kind, I’ll reply!
SMR?
♐︎ ♓︎ ♊︎
Rider-Waite-Smith or Thoth?
RWS but every tarot deck is unique. I also really enjoy oracle decks!
What’s your training?
I hold a “Community Tarot Reader” certification from the School of Traditional Healing Arts (now known as the Land of Verse)! Shout out to my Swords cohort and supervisor, Cidnee Rich of ArcanaAtl! I’ve also taken classes with teachers like Benebell Wen, Kelly-Ann Maddox, Jess of BehatiLife, Sarah Faith Gottesdiener, Ethony, and Erin Claire Jones.
For astrology, what tradition, house system, and rulership do you use?
Hellenistic, whole sign houses, traditional rulership. BUT that doesn’t mean I won’t look at a Placidus chart, wax poetic about the outer planets, or that I feel any of this is superior. (I wanna learn more about sidereal astrology!) These are just what I’ve been taught and understand the most.
