Carrie of Carrie's Mystical Musings (on youtube) invented the #SpringDeckPairs tag to encourage and inspire combining two spring-themed tarot/oracle decks. She made a cool video about it that you should check if you're interested. In response, I've made a blogpost with the decks I chose:
https://echopublishing.wordpress.com/2025/04/11/springdeckpairs-combining-tarot-oracle-decks-that-remind-me-of-spring/

It was a lot of fun to match the decks and think about their similarities and uses. Do you have favourite deck(s) you enjoy using in Springtime?

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the of the page with additional text: “Nathan Bailey’s Dictionarium Britannicum of 1730 defines ‘Mothering’ as: ‘A Custom still retained in many places of England, of visiting Parents on Midlent-Sunday; and it seems to be called Mothering, from the Respect in the old Time paid to the Mother Church. It being the Custom for People in old Popish Times to visit their Mother Church on Midlent-Sunday, and to make their Offerings at the High Altar.’ Bailey thus suggests a secularization of a medieval practice, so that people would offer gifts to their own mothers rather than to the church. In the eighteenth century, Mothering” seems to have been a regional custom. Correspondents to the Gentleman’s Magazine in the 1780s are very vague about this day, but believe it may have associations with food or drink. When ‘H.T.’ mentioned ‘furmety on Mothering-Sunday’ in a 1783 communication, another correspondent claimed to be unfamiliar with Mothering Sunday, and observed that others probably were too.” — Claire A. Simmons, Medieval Traditions in Nineteenth-Century Britain (2021). Below the text is a card depicting two faces in triangles arranged tip to top vertically, like a reflection. The upper face has their eyes open the lower one has their eyes closed. Next to the card is a purple fountain pen and a swatch showing a dark purple ink with bronze shading and blue-green shimmer.

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the of the page with additional text: “There are plenty of indications that Sheela-na-gigs belong with ordinary people and rural traditions. The majority of these figures occur in small country churches and it is obvious that sculptors with varying skills turned their hands to carving them. Judging by their often very poor workmanship they must have been the work of local amateur carvers or stone masons who were not sculptors, rather than that of skilled craftsmen. It is precisely on account of the inadequate technical, often clumsy, execution that many archaeologists have refused to consider the sculptures as proper artefacts worthy of their attention. Furthermore, although Sheelas had existed in churches and other medieval buildings for centuries, scholars had no knowledge of them. When they did discover them they could not believe their eyes and many also refused to believe their ears when they first heard the name, which had been in use for a long time among the ordinary.” — Barbara Freitag, Sheelahs, Birth, Death and Medieval Rural Traditions (2004). Below the text is a card with a crowned face with large circular disk earrings holding their hands over the heart and surrounded by yellow flowers. Next to the card is a black and clear plastic fountain pen.

Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the of the page with additional text: “His curiosity aroused, the priest, Sgabarizza, had summoned the fellow. Gasparutto admitted that he had told the father of the sick child that ‘this little boy had been possessed by witches, but at the time of the witchery, the vagabonds were about and they snatched him from the witches’ hands, and if they had not done so he would have died.’ And afterwards he had given the parent a secret charm which could cure the boy. Pressed by Sgabarizza’s questioning, Gasparutto said that ‘on Thursdays during the Ember Days of the year they were forced to go with these witches to many places, such as Cormons, in front of the church at Iassico, and even into the countryside about Verona,’ where ‘they fought, played, leaped about, and rode various animals, and did different things among themselves; and … the women beat the men who were with them with sorghum stalks, while the men had only bunches of fennel.” — Carlo Ginzburg, The Night Battles: Witchcraft and Agrarian Cults in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries (1966). Below the text are three cards as described in the post and at the bottom of the page a brown fountain pen lies across the notebook.
