- This is just a video of different study journals I've made as well as some tarot card comparison art books. I also make art books out of certain decks that I like to look at but never read with. Most of the journals use the Levenger disc system or the Arc disc system (from Staples). I wish I had the artistic ability to draw and paint beautiful journals but I don't, so this is how I have to roll.
Even though I'm watching this many years later, I truly applaud your emphasis on journaling. I think that is the only way to "own" the cards. I take my cards to a copier, reduce then down about half, and as I draw a card I cut and tape it in my journal.. I use tape so that I can do exactly what you do, flip the card and write on it. Even though I have my card in miniature, I always journal with the actual card held in my hand; it's an energy thing! Blessing to all
Such amazing journals. Very inspirational and a wonderful way to display decks while they aren't used❤❤❤. I also love to compare cards of different decks to get a deeper meaning of the card theme.😄
Thank you, the card comparison journals were invaluable with that. I absorbed so much just in making them but pouring over them afterwards just helped build up that internal encyclopedia in my head. All of it, the different decks, quotes and sayings I gathered, it all just deepens each of the cards for me. I think that's part of the craftsmanship in being a reader, at least it is for me, forever adding connections while still staying true to what the traditional meanings mean to me.
This is absolutely amazing and so inspiring! Been learning tarot for a year and been so lazy on the journaling game, just started my first one so this is seriously so helpful.
I am so excited to watch this video! Thank you for making this one!
Oh, now I wish I had shown that other huge album, it has your Tarot of Vampyres in it. I just watched Sacred Seed's journal video and it was great!
You're last two videos were so inspiring and heartfelt and lovely, btw. 💜💜💜
Than you my dear! I love this video! I would also love to see the other album so very much!
Well, then that's my next video. :-)
Very inspired💐 thank you for your video!
You are amazing!! I found your videos at just the right time. Thank you for sharing with us all!!
Thank you, both for watching my ramble and for leaving such a heartening comment, I'm glad you found me too! :-)
What amazing journals! I love the idea of the deck comparison books, especially the one at the end where you can switch out/still use the decks! Thank you for sharing this. xx
You're welcome, it's refreshing to see such awesome comments on me putting all of my compulsive nerdiness on display so thank you! I never get tired of my comparison journals although until this video the only people who ever saw them were my husband and best friend. Putting a journal together is one of the things I do to decompress and the result is well worth the time to me.
Wow, these journals are amazeballs! 😍😍 Thank you so much for sharing them with us!
Thank you... I never thought anyone other than my bestie would see those so it makes me happy to see these comments! I made them for me only but I have to admit that it's been fun to share. 😍😘💜😈
I love this video! I spend most of my free time nerding out over tarot and making similar journals. I'm delighted to know that I'm not alone :)
Oh no, you are definitely not alone. I'm an unapologetic tarot nerd!!! 💜
I find my self coming back to this video every few months . I think I’ve watched it 5 times 😂 Very enjoyable ! I really love your original journal! That’s a treasure! ♥️
Also is that a bullet journal you used for the original? I think it’s a perfect size would like to find something similar .
Lol, I do the same thing with my favorite tarot videos! I even find myself talking back to the screen.😆 And I remember being so excited that there were people who were as insane about tarot journals as I was, you have no idea. I spent years all by myself thinking I was nuts for being so obsessive about these notebooks that I poured hours into that no one else would ever see.... and then I discovered this community and found a bunch of people just like me. I’ll always be thankful for finding my tribe. Oh, and that first notebook was a moleskin, just like the very first mini one I added so many inserts that it became three times the size it was meant to be but it worked! Now that I mostly use the Arc system I don’t have that problem but I’ll admit that my old school journal will always be the OG. ❤️😘😘😘😘
Wonderful Tarot Journals ... so beautiful & creative !
Thank you!!! ❤️😘😘😘
Your journals are so inspiring! I love the vellum sheets with quotes superimposed on images. Thank you for sharing! :D
CardsAndCups You're very welcome! Yes, I'm addicted to vellum for journals, the pages just look and even feel amazing. Thank you. 😘
lmao omg I totally feel ya here! you're definitely not alone here- hot mess wonderful amazing intense tarot journaling lol!! love everything you've done here, gave me some great new ideas too. oh and I love those Barbara Moore quotes too. thanks so much for sharing yours :)
Thank you! It's so nice to know that I'm not the only one who loves to completely nerd out with the cards and journaling. :-)
I really enjoyed your video as well, I've learned a lot from your channel!
V.
WoW what a Tarot Journal Marathon!!! Thank you for sharing these beauties!
Thank you for watching and appreciating the results of my obsession. 😉😘
and I LOVE YOUR FLEETWOOD MAC one drooling !!
That's why it's my working journal, it's my fave. 💜
freaking awesome veronica you're giving me some ideas for mine
Sweet! Make sure you share them, I'd love to see what you come up with!
Omg I love your journals. Wow. You really brought the cards to life
Thank you!! Goodness knows I’ve spent enough time on them. :-O
I envy the passion you clearly have had for learning the decks. I sometimes find myself frustrated with the density of my own physical brain. I feel like I should know this stuff already, and yet, my physical brain hasn't found a way to access the information from the ether to make readings more fluid. I suppose that's kind of why we use the cards in the first place, huh? That was just a "Duh" moment for me. =P
flick through of baby first journal!!!!
Maybe... One day.... ;-)
Amazing journals!
Thank you! I'm glad you took the time to watch and that you liked them. :-)
Your journals are incredible and inspiring thank you
Thank you! I find a lot of inspiration is these videos as well, and I drool over more artistic journals every day. 😍😘
Your journals are brilliant, super inspiring :)
Thank you, I'm glad that you liked them! :-) Having never shown them to anyone before, comments like yours really make my heart smile!!
You are obviously are a journal genius. Wow.
sherribug d "Veronica Jude: Journal Genius" I like the sound of that!! Thank you for that, you made me laugh. :-P
💛🙏💛 Thank you so much for sharing! Hugs & sunshine ☀ N
Sunshine Crystal Thank you for watching and for taking the time to leave such sweet comments! ❤️😘😍
Thank you this was really good :)
amazing! loved this x
Kasia Tafalarota Thank you! I'm glad you liked it and I appreciate the sweet comment!! 😊
Beautiful books veronica! we must be close in age- your books resemble my vinyl collection ;)
Maree Bow Thank you! I only use the covers if the album is missing or too scratched up but they are ones in my collection as well. I have a huge console in my loft like the ones my grandparents had because I like to stack them old school, the way my mom used to do in the mornings while we were all getting ready. :-)
veronica jude Ahh yes, I recall those. nice memories. I wish had a record player, I haven't had one in years and years. nothing like scratchy vinyl. 😊
wow. this is awesome.
Thank you! I almost turned right around and deleted it so your comment makes me so glad I didn't. :-)
You had me at the word "journal." lol.
So we speak the same language. Sweet. :-)
I love what you did with the silver BoGo and Mary El!!! I read with my Mary El but BoGo isn't speaking to me so far so you are giving me some ideas there!!! Being in the tarot closet is tedious with always being too afraid to leave traces of any tarot activities outside of the World Wide Web :/ I have also been trying to figure out how to keep decks in order for study purposes on ring binders without having to punch holes through them and without having to lug around a large thing. The photo corners are something I haven't thought about so thanks for that. So far I have been looking at board game cards sleeves and it is hard to find the right sizes! This video has given me food for thoughts with regards to exploring other options! Thanks Veronica!
I am so happy that it gave you some inspiration! Those decks that I made into "art books" just make so much sense to me and i like the fact that some decks I would never really use look so good in book form.
I know all about the tarot closet, I'm taking huge steps just making these videos but I made a decision to do this and be real and I know that may mean blow back eventually but the past few weeks have shown me that I'm doing what's right for me. All of these notebooks, all of these years and no one had seen any of it except for my husband and best friend. My parents know that I'm a professional reader but we don't really talk about it because I know it worries and probably scares them. I was raised southern baptist and would never want to throw things in my family's face that would break their hearts but this is me. I do my best to keep it separate but I know that putting myself out there like this I'm risking everything that I've kept completely to myself my entire adult life. I have a voice and I have a calling, the Judgement card can only be ignored for so long. Wish me luck. 😘
All the best with being who you truly are! I do believe my issue is more self-perception than anything else. Others around me are kind and very open minded. Some might be judgemental and would think that I have completely lost my mind. But I have taken paths less traveled before and my actualized-self triumphed and prosper nevertheless through all the finger wagging and eye rolling. But I believed in those choices, and in my conviction was firm. Which is not so with tarot, yet :)
I am really enjoying your videos and I'm looking forward to seeing not only where you land but the journey towards it. :-) 💜💜
You are so fascinating to watch! x
I'm glad you think so, that's such a sweet comment! My vertigo is kicking in just having this video play while I reply to your comment. Note to self.... I need to use the tripod!!! :-)
Hahahaha, your message is clear though and I took your advise I have a a completely new Tarot journal instead of just part of my overall book of shadows, obviously it has to be weird or it wouldn't be mine but its actually working better, I have gone back to Kelly Ann's tarot coarse as well to go over stuff again. xx
That's awesome! I'd love to see your journal at some point, keep me up to date on how your journey is going.... I'm excited for you!!! 🔮💜
Thank you! xx
Hi Veronica, I have uploaded a 'hello' video so people can put a face to the name, T for Tarot by Madwitch and the second is Tarot books, journals and Marseille v RWS, - Im on a steep learning curve! I have used your journals ideas as a base for my learning, thank you xx
I'm so glad you are making videos and I will make sure to catch them all!!! ❤😍😘😘
Thank you!
❤️😘😘😘
Hello Veronica. Your journals are so creative and beautiful!! Could you write down the website you mentioned for sheets? Also, I am originally from Italy. Italian is my native language. If you want me to translate anything from the Nicoletta Ceccoli art books let me know. Great video!
Thank you, that is so sweet of you! The Italian book has huge pages and I can't of an easy way to do that but I love and appreciate the offer. 💜
You can find the supplies for my journals that use the disc system at Levenger.com or staples.com and the page punch from either company would work because their systems are compatible. The scrapbook journals, pager and sheet protectors should be on any large craft site that offers scrapbook paper (it's larger square paper) and scrap booking supplies. I'm glad you enjoyed my videos and I appreciate leaving such a nice comment! :-)
hi I love what you have done and how you have done it , it actually inspired me to start a tarot journal as I have been struggling to start it for so long. and I was just wondering , how long did it take you to actually know what you were doing.
you have inspired me.
How Many Journals do you actually have on the tarot,
I loved watching your videos.
I would love to see in all your tarot journals, a flip through .
fantastic journey
maria preston Homeschooling UK Wow, thank you for leaving such a great comment!! I'm glad to hear you have started a journal yourself, you'll find it extremely valuable and such a great personal reference!! How long did it take for me to feel like I had it down and knew my stuff? Well, my readings were actuate from the start but I always used my journal during a reading for the first few years. I read differently though, I was militant about not getting the cards mixed up in my head. When I didn't need the journal that was a turning point, but then there was another when I felt I finally understood the courts and then another when I started reading for strangers I would meet in a pub. I remember the days when 78 cards seemed overwhelming but eventually it becomes natural, and even then you are constantly reaching new levels, it depends a lot on how serious you are about learning the cards and how often you put the cards into practice. I do have several more journals that I could show, thank you for the suggestion and I would love to hear how yours is turning out as you go along! ❤️😊
I would love to see al your journals ,even more inspiration ... and I am very serious about learning the tarot I did want to become a master at it some day , but first I want to just learn tarot and the best way to do that , I have had tarot in my life for ages now but I was kinda at a dead end as I hadn't had the time to actually do much for my self in the way of learning the tarot as having a family takes up all my time and now in my 40s and 6 kids later , 3 grandkids later / plus having cancer in my life also set me back abit as what I had learned all got lost after cancer treatment.... I was bit forgetful ten years ago now .
I think I actually understand myself better and know this is what I want for myself. so here I am, I already have 12 tarot decks one of which I'm in the middle of making myself , getting to know the cards again is first priority so thats why I started a journal after watching your videos it just made everything click in place , I suppose the push in the right direction was all I needed .
Thankyou for your videos and do hope you make more as I will watch it a hundred times ..
also I brought a tarot course from benebell wen and her book the holistic tarot ,to help with this , so I can take it slowly and do what I can to learn .have you any advice at all for me...
Thanks again for taking the time to read and reply.
maria preston Homeschooling UK Good for you, having come so far and done so much!! If you have a love of the cards and a desire to learn them, you will be fine. :-) my decks are a great comfort to me, just like comfort books that I love. If I feel like handling the cards but there is no need for a reading I'll just flip the cards and have an ongoing "conversation" or most likely play solitaire. Other people do "readings" for on celebrities or fictional characters for practice. I really appreciate your feedback and I'm looking forward to making more videos! I have my own ups and downs so make videos whenever I can. Always make me think of that saying telling you to make hay while the sun shines. :-) ❤️
Wow amazing journals!!! I’m staring my first wish me luck! I’m interested in your notebooks from where are those?
Thank you? Which ones are you looking for? A lot of those in that video I simply made using the discs from either Office Depot or Levinger online. 😉 That’s cool that you’re starting your own... let me know how it goes!
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm struggling with mine :/ Can you plz show us how you put together your journals?
Deanta PT I'll put that on my list, I did different things for different journals. Mostly I scanned my favorite decks but I have to admit I used a crazy amount of ink for some of them. The ones where I used the actual cards I used photo tabs that I got at Michaels craft store so that I could take the deck out and be able to use them if I wanted to. Thank you for watching and commenting, I only saw this today so I'm sorry it slipped through the cracks when you left it. :-)
Ok -- so the second journal that you referred to as a "hot mess" is more like what MY tarot journal looks like!!! LOL! I LOVE an overstuffed book! That second little book that was overstuffed from 20 years ago is delicious as well! I LOVE that!!! I can't believe you managed to hang on to it after so much time. *needle rips the vinyl* Wait a minute -- your best friend said "when" we need to prove that you're "crazy"?!? Wow. No. No way. Nothing about that-- or about the way you are -- could possibly prove that you are somehow not okay. That sounds mean. Your tone tells me you weren't okay with what she said, either. I'm so sorry she said that to you.
On the other hand, my "best friend" said things like that to me 20 years ago, too, because she could be really manipulative and I found out years after I'd lost touch that she has had some serious mental health issues over the years since I knew her. I hope that comment from your friend was in the long past. UGH. Sorry, Veronica -- the protective part of me just rose up ready to defend you and crush your accuser. Here you make this beautiful book full of wisdom, knowledge, self-reflection, and work on your own self-realization. . .only for someone you trust to tell you that it proves what a fragile state of mind you have and never to get rid of it because it could be used to prove that you're not balanced if you needed a defense in court. What a meanie. I can't stand for people who need to put down someone else's creativity and uniqueness because of their own insecurity.
Anyway -- I really appreciate your nerdy side! Thank you for sharing your journaling techniques and old journals with us!!! I put up two videos of some of the art books I've made with eco prints, but I keep thinking I should do one with the planners i was making up until this year. I might give up and make a mid-year planner or journal of some kind for myself yet. . .I don't know. Had a job at the end of last year that required a LOT more careful planning and organizing than I'm used to, and I had some serious glitches in my ADD meds, so I ended up with a commercial planner to simplify things. *eye roll*. It's beautiful and functional. . .and I'm using it because it works and I have it. Meh. In the mean time, I'm really missing engaging with a yummy book that makes me smile and feel like I"m connecting with a friend every time I open it.
Oh I definitely understand your love of journals, they have been a constant source of joy and inspiration for me! You are so sweet to be concerned about my besties comment but believe me, she knows me better than anyone and has always had my back.... through thick and thin and I’m lucky to have her. She was mostly joking, I mean, it does look like the work of a mad man. 😂😂😂 I’m fortunate enough to have a small group of Bitchachos that I can always count on. There are four of us who spent so much time together in my 30’s (they are all a little younger than me) that we became family and even though we are more spread out now and have busy families we always make time to connect and spend time together. I did have a friend like the one you described and believe me, I have no problem cutting someone loose if they make me feel “less than”. Thanks again for looking out for me though. 🖤😘😘😘
I totally know what you mean. Thank you for being graceful about my inner Viking and his need to protect and avenge!
Could you please, please show some more of the trimmed transparent tarot?! I can't afford a second copy but those borders drive me nuts!
Foolonajourney Sure, I'll try to make a video before the weekend. :-)
Really enjoyed watching this and your method of journaling.Are those actual tarot cards or prints of the cards? I put together a journal using an extra Universal Waite deck.It did get rather thick!
Most of them are just scanned and printed out but a few of the last ones were the actual deck and I used photo triangle tabs to keep them in place, that way I can pop them out if I want to. The notebooks get thick just with the scanned image on regular paper, you're right, using the actual decks makes the book pretty thick!
Do you have a video on how you actually print up your stuff, put different papers etc in your journals? You know . . . For someone like me, who has absolutely no idea 😱
I haven't made a tutorial like that but I definately can. 😉😘
veronica jude that would be awesome 👏
Hi can you please list where you purchased the charms. I would love to have charms
Beautiful journal, thank you posting this amazing video.
My charm kits I get from Carrie Paris’ website and others I find all over the place... eBay, Etsy, farmers markets, game pieces, jewelry... whatever catches my eye. :-)
veronica jude thank you so much, I am one of your new subscribers, love the beauty you have within you and how you use that beauty to create amazing journals and having fun with tarot and beautiful cards. I am going to begin to make my journal, I am completely inspired. I will begin wheel of the tarot cards. Please continue doing video's there so inspiring. Thank you so much.
veronica, which punch are you using for your discbound papers ? (because you seem to be able to punch through thin cardboard as well as paper)
Glad you found it. :-) 😘
Hi Veronica, I dont understand english very well, but I am curious about the web page you mention at the start of the video. Around 0:46. I can't understand you, sorry T_T
Thank you so much.
Love.
Yara Tarot Hi! I use both the Arc and Levenger disc systems which are interchangeable. The Arc system you can find at Staples or Www.staples.com and it's cheaper than the Levenger system but Levenger has a lot of different options. The Levenger website is www.levenger.com and it's called the disc system is called Circa. I hope that helps! :-)
Thank you sweet!
okay, your printing budget must be intense.
Completely out of control would be accurate. 😈
K Cris... Go ahead, tell me what a hot mess I am, I can take it. 💜😈
It cracks me up that you have to comment your own video just for me because of your dick iPad! 😂I LOVE this!! Your journals 🙌🏻 Omg! Journal goals! Totally drooling over these. Crafty but not artistic is me too, for sure. I want to be in your brain. Love your court associations and can't wait for your deck which I hope you do a guidebook for. You know I love me some guidebooks. So glad we are both queen of cups. You always have the best stuff for that card. Jung quote was on point! You're too hard on yourself. This video is amaze-balls! I feel like we are the same person in so many ways which is great because we come at things so differently in other ways. Makes it even more fabulous.
What are those journals with the thick black ring bindings? I need those in my life. Did you just print and bind yourself? Goddamn, they are so pretty! I love the ones you made just for art books too. Stunning!
My husband has told me for years that I need to write a book about my take on the cards and the courts especially but I kept telling him that I was just copying information down to learn it. I have tons of study journals I made while I was trying to work out the court system. Now that I've been using my system for a few years I feel as if I could write my take on them, not enough for a book but enough for a kick ass companion guide for my deck! ;-). Those journals you like are all disc bound systems, Levenger is higher end but they are also compatable with the Arc system you can get at Staples. I also bought the paper stamp at staples, you just punch the paper and you can insert them in any of your journals.
I so get what you mean about how alike and how different we are, that's the way it is with all of the favorite people in my life. 💜
Holy shit this video is making me dizzy. I swear if I hadn't already promised no deleting, this video would be disappearing right now. And why in the hell would I even show that tiny, crazy as hell first journal of mine?!
Clearly everyone loved every journal you showed off including that baby beginning one. 😍 I also think you have so much more knowledge than you give yourself credit for. Yes, it's traditional but your perspective is very unique. I can't wait to see what you put out to the world. Seriously, drooling over these journals. I'll have to go to staples and start doing this. Oh, and the video wasn't "shaky" it was excited and passionately swift. 😜 The Blair Witch was shaky. Can't wait to see more from you.
So relieved to know that it wasn't Blair Witch bad!!! 😈
