The Future Of TarotProse

NOTE: This is going to be a long post. Get a cuppa of tea, coffee, water something and lets chat! 

Hi. I hope you all are doing well. I wanted to do another check in now that finals are over for me. (I passed everything) YAY But this post is going to be about the future of TarotProse.

I currently have backed up and archived all my content both to the cloud and physical backups, I have filed away and submitted the last of all documents for all my copyright notices for all the remaining posts on my blog and I am ready to look forward to the future. So here is the plan.

I want to take you all with me. I want to continue to foster a place of inclusiveness, diversity, being unapologetically queer and black and sharing all Tarot and divination goodness. 

With the help of my original team, I now have assembled a new team. I have hired a web designer, copy editor, brand ambassador, cyber security specialist, e-commerce specialist and a few friends as virtual assistants to help me on this journey of making a TarotProse 2.0 version website. 

The old TarotProse.com will convert into an archival blog on December 31st 2018 as the development for our new home begins.

This new project will allow me an unprecedented amount of freedom in regards to providing content for all of you that I was just not able to do with Tumblr Inc. I have books, zines, giveaways, guest blog posts, divination challenges, interviews with some of the readers and diviners of Tumblr, courses, and unique reading offerings in the works. I cannot wait to show you what this new year will have in store for us. I hope that you can continue to follow me on my journey as I grow and develop this site for us. 

Thank you for reading. I raise my cup of tea to all of you for all the love and support you have given me. I wouldn’t be able to do this without any of you.  I hope that you are as excited as I am for TarotProse 2.0 I will keep you updated.

Love,
Ivan Ambrose (TarotProse)

I am the keeper of mysteries
and the holder of dreams.
Your conduit of memories
and worlds unseen.

I am the subconscious
shrouded in mystical waves.
Listen to my inner whispers
of intuned messages be relayed.

I live deep within you
no matter where you are.
Allow me to guide your hand
as you shuffle your deck of cards.

Don’t be afraid
of my revealed secrets.
Deep within each of us lives
the beauty and strength of a High Priestess.

Sometimes you find a new home, a new path, new friends, new interests and it’s okay to leave your old life behind and start new somewhere else. You are allowed to grow. You are allowed to transition from 2018 to 2019 with a different view on the world. You are allowed to say goodbye, save some memories and start fresh somewhere else.

tarotprose:

I would like to thank the over 60+ major and independent publishers as well as each independent author and artist that has granted the TarotProse blog permission to utilize their decks within this blog. I am eternally grateful, humbled and overjoyed that I can continue on this journey of self discovery, expression, writing and divination as this blog was intended for. Thank you to all the publishers who actively went to my blog, have provided words of encouragement, sent beautiful letters, emails and commended me on my due diligence of being respectful and patient concerning the permissions and usage of their decks. Also thank you for those publishers who have sent me tea. I have a really huge supply now. lol  I really appreciate it. 😀 

Thank you to the Divination and Tarot communities of social media. We have made such monumental change within our community concerning permissions and usage and I would like to applaud all of you. 

Thank you to everyone who reads, follows and subscribes to this blog. There is almost three hundred of you! I hope I can continue to be of worth for your time and your reading pleasure. Thank you for pushing me, for your kindness, love and generosity. Thank you for your understanding and allowing this blog to continue to be a safe space for the ups and downs of my life. You are appreciated and adored beyond measure. 

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Tumblr, for a long time was my home. My place of expression, connection, and hub of online social interaction with the wonderful writing and divination / tarot communities. I started this blog after a hospital stay from a failed suicide attempt. The creation of this blog was my way of coping, making friends and learning about myself. It was a place where I had the chance to connect with some of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life. I have grown as a person, reader and writer in the last few years that I have been on this platform. 

 I am conflicted because I love and care for this space that we together have created but the platform it runs on is something that I cannot support. It seems that as each year passes, Tumblr Inc regresses in their support and care for its users. There has been a blatant disregard for the safety and well being of children, the rampant p//o//r//n bots, the ever flourishing n//a//z//i community, the hate blogs, the bullying, the demonization of sex workers, the constant racism, content theft, and the list can go on. I cannot and will not support this. I do not have all the answers right now, I wish I did. I will be talking with my team to discuss my options on what I can do about the future of this blog but as of right now, this will be the last post on this platform for a while. I love you all and I thank you for your support, your love, generosity and for making this space a pivotal point in my journey. I hope all your respective Tarot journeys are worthwhile and filled with the same amount of love you have given me.

If you want to continue following me and TarotProse related content, I have an Instagram account that you can reach me at.

I wish you all nothing but the best. With your consent, sending you a big hug. ❤

Goodbye,
Ivan Ambrose (TarotProse)

Sometimes you just gotta experiment. Like who would have known mixing oracle decks and tarot decks in a single reading would work great for my reading style. I tried it and it literally felt like a new world was opened up for me.

I also like reading energetic signatures of items with Tarot. Didn’t even know that was a thing until I experimented with a few exercises I made up along the way with trial and error and now it’s a pivotal part of my divination practice.

There are always going to be people who say what you are doing is wrong or strange, not traditional or not the norm. Don’t let those people discourage you.

Tarot is best used as a tool for….

tarotprose:

…whatever the hell the user wants to use it for. Sometimes that means Tarot is used for self-discovery, other times it’s used unapologetically to hex an abuser, it can be used as a tool in therapy sessions, some use it for spiritual empowerment and most times it is used to be dragged for filth repeatedly by some card stock. Either way, your use of Tarot is valid. Your ethics and uses do not need to mirror anyone else’s. Do you.

Ancestral Invocation By @tarotprose

Ancestral wisdom
melanin mother

melanin elders
gift me
your truths
your power
your strengths.
Guide my works
my prayers
my body
my spirit

lunar map
and blood ties.
Flow through me.
Speak through me.
Fight through me.
The war has begun.

My transphobic uncle can’t come to dinner and he calls to give his regards. Bruh we don’t fucking miss you or care for your attendance. Stop calling. Finally my family can have a peaceful get together and hold our spiritual ceremony later without his judgments and back talk. God is real.
