A Birthday Giveaway

A BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY!

Dear friends,

In one month exactly it'll be a very special date for me. My birthday - December 1st! Not that the perspective of getting old makes me particularly happy, but it's still my birthday and I think that life itself is the greatest present we will ever get.

Despite my recent struggles in my own life, I know I have it much better than many. I have a job and a comfortable place to live. I have a loving family and a handful of good friends who make my journey in the Earth worth it. I can take care of my basic needs and even have time and money to worry about other things. I recognize that this is a luxury that I can afford for now - I do not know when the wheel of Fortune will turn.

I wish to share my current prosperity with others... give something back to the universe, and show my blog friends how important their company is to me in this cartomantic/spiritual journey. That's why I decided to hold this little giveaway!

To participate, all you have to do is leave a valid comment in any November post. By valid I mean saying more than 'cool post bro!'. You don't have to write an essay, don't worry!

On December 1st - my birthday - I'll put all the names in a hat and ask someone else from my family to draw one randomly. The winner will be able to choose one of the three following deck/book sets:



I. Complete Tarot Set: it comes with two versions of the Sharman-Caselli tarot, one in colors and one in B&W. It also comes with a very complete book on tarot. The colored Sharman-Caselli has been used sometimes, so it may show some wear...

II. Universal Marseille Tarot: a colorful rendition of the Tarot de Marseille, plus a very good book on the TdM written by Lee Bursten. Published by LoScarabeo.

III. Cosmic Tarot: it's a German edition, both the book and the deck are in this language. But the quality is very good, specially the cardstock - it does not have that thick US Games lamination and the colors are perfect! It's just like the old AGM edition.

I'll send any of the sets worldwide! Just make sure you do not mind sharing your address with me.

That's it! I hope to see you here this month, and I'll do my best to post more often so everyone has a fair chance to participate! Thank you for reading! :o)

  1. How wonderful. What a great giveaway! Love my Sag ladies! I have a double Sag daughter and two Sag sisters (and the non-Sag one has Sag moon and asdendant)...

    Hope you have an especially healthful, happy and renewed birthday this year. I don't have ANY of these decks and I'd love to win this! I was just eyeing the Cosmic Tarot on Amazon today, as a matter of fact. I love it!

    I hope you have a wonderful day.

    Hugs,
    MM

  2. Querida Marina.
    Que interessante e generosa oferta da sua parte, querida!
    Estava a ler um livro ("VOCÊ PODE CURAR SUA VIDA") que diz o seguinte: “ (…) o que damos, recebemos”. Tenho a certeza que o próprio Universo também vai oferecer muitas coisas positivas para vc. por altura do seu aniversário, querida.
    Na minha colecção, já tenho esse MARSEILLE e o COSMIC, vou tentar ganhar o Sharman-Caselli :D
    Muita luz no seu coração!

  3. Hi MM!

    I know a lot of people who accuse Sag of being arrogant and annoying, lol! And I happen to have Sun in Sagittarius and a Sagittarius ascendant :O. So I am happy you like us! I have to say I don't know many Sagittarius people here... I had a couple of classmates in high school and that was it...

    I am glad you like the decks! I wanted to offer things I'd pick myself! <3

    Olá Aquim!

    Já acho que recebo muitas coisas do universo e de outras pessoas, pelas quais sou sempre grata! Fico feliz em ter condiçõe sde compratilhar isso com os outros. Há um ditado que diz que você só tem realmente o que puder compatilhar, e é o que desejo fazer no meu aniversário. Espero fazer isso muitas outras vezes também! :D

  4. A Valid Comment: Dear Marina,
    Aren't you so generous to be giving something back to the Universe! Such a beautiful soul. And December 1 puts you squarely in the realm of the Knight of Wands in the Thoth deck. Fire of Fire. As if I couldn't tell. Have a happy and healthy birthday. If you choose me, I'll choose dinner over the deck ;)Hey, I can flirt. At 1500 miles away, that's all I can do.

  5. Hi Peter!

    Well, a deck is really such a small thing, but it makes people cheerful. I hope one day I can be more generous in other ways too. I have also been the recipient of the kindness of others many times, so I have a lot to be grateful about. :-)

    "Fire of fire" seems to be story of my life! Even my Natal chart has a lot of fire. I am not sure if this is any good though. So far it has only caused me problems!

    As for the dinner, I'd feel honored! Too bad geography imposes some obstacles, LOL!

  6. Yeah, we're pretty far away from each other. Maybe I should send my chauffeur? He can pick you up in the private jet I was thinking of hijacking. :)

  7. Hi Marina,

    I love the generosity of spirit I find here on the interwebs, and it's definitely infectious - I'm running another giveaway, too, hope you'll check it out.

    As for too much fire getting you in trouble, I think it also has lots of positives - passion for life, spiritual seeking, and plenty of creativity! My Dear One is a Sag, so of course I see the up sides :)

    Wishing you a wonderful birthday!

  8. Hi Chloë!

    I am always surprised by the generosity of the online community too! We often speak about the bad things internet brings us, but it also helps us to get in touch with amazing people! :)

    I saw your give away, I posted a message there but then my stupid connection had a problem and I lost it all! I'll try again soon!

  9. What a lovely idea. I've had the Universal Marseille kit on my list for a while now.

    Parabens! Tenho saudades do Brasil.

  10. Hi Vestalshaman!

    This TdM kit is AMAZING, the book by Lee Bursten is really remarkable. Very to-the-point, and offers a unique way to learn the Marseille Tarot! I really like it and am happy to offer it here!

    I hope you get the chance of visiting Brazil again! :-)

  11. Hi Marina,

    I am finally ready to try to read with pips, and I heard the Bursten book is good.

    Sadly, I haven't been back to Brasil since 1987. Would love to return.
