Welcome to Eclectic Wisdom
Hello and welcome! My name is Fred-Allen. I’m also known as Gingery in some online circles. I am the owner and practitioner of Eclectic Wisdom! If you’re here then you are likely looking for guidance or have an interest or curiosity in Tarot or card divination in general. Well, you’re in the right place! I’ve been studying, learning, and practicing Tarot for most of my life. 20 years at this point! It’s truly something I love. I love the many different styles, the art, the history, the meaning. You name it and I love it. I have a passion for collecting decks, reading them, and even creating them. My current major project centers around the creation of three different Tarot decks as well as an Oracle deck! This is where I have chosen to devote the majority of my energy due to recent life circumstances that don’t allow me to do many other things.

This is the first professional reading I’ve had done, and it was totally worth it! I will definitely be coming back and spreading the word. The reading was in depth and written well. I have some clarity on my issue and it feels good.

Today is the first time I've posted one of my card meditations in a while. I've been thinking about it for some time, but it just didn't feel right for some reason. Today, however, I pulled a card and the card itself made me realize it was time to get back to these...

Shifting and Changing and All That Jazz
It would be no news to say that life has been filled with ups and downs. That is, after all, the very nature of life. That said, my life has been a crazy sort of roller-coaster this last couple of years, but especially the last several months. You see, I've been...

Oracle or Tarot – Is There Really a Difference?
A common thing that I see all over the place is the use of the word Tarot to mean literally any divination done by any type of cards other than playing cards. It's become like a catch all term. It's not uncommon that when someone learns I love Tarot that they tell me...

Tarot Meditation: Let Go and Be
My Tarot Meditation today is from the Hanson-Roberts Tarot. I really love this deck. While some of the people look rather odd, I find the images incredibly compelling. They are very much based on the traditional Rider-Waite images by Pamela Colman-Smith, but here they...

Tarot Meditation: Tending Your Garden
Today's meditation comes from a set of three cards. As my last meditation, this isn't a past, present, future, rather this is a single message consisting of three cards. I'll discuss each card and their meaning in this post then talk about what the message as a whole...

Tarot Meditation: Tap Into Your Abundance
Today's Tarot Meditation is a bit different from what I usually do here, but you'll begin seeing more of this as it allows for deeper meditations than a single card. Here we find the Ace of Cups and the High Priestess from the Witches Tarot. Here we find what I would...

Tarot Meditation: Joy and Abundance
The Nine of Cups from the New Mythic Tarot is the card I'm focusing on today. This deck is a re-illustration of and older deck. Most of the art is just an updated version of the old art, but some of the cards have been significantly reworked therefore changing the...

Tarot Meditation: Cutting to the Truth
Today's meditation comes from the Queen of Swords from Ciro Marchetti's absolutely stunning Tarot of Dreams. I'm an absolutely huge fan of Marchetti's work in both Tarot and Lenormand as his art is always exquisite and expressive. This deck, however, is on a whole...

Tarot Superstitions
There are so many superstitions, fears, and beliefs when it comes to Tarot. I've addressed some of these before from the position of being inside the Tarot community, which you can find here. What about those outside of the Tarot world, though? Those who only know of...
