The Major Arcana cards and the Minor Arcana face cards in my Minoan Tarot deck are based on actual ancient Minoan works of art. I wanted it to feel like you're holding a Minoan fresco in your hand each time you draw a card.

@lemoustier.bsky.social🏺 I submit the funniest #Minoan-linked octopus image ever - seen this year on the inside of one of the toilet cubicles at Phaistos 🐙
@templemom.bsky.socialThe Minoans loved their incense every bit as much as we modern Pagans do. Check out the nifty kinds of incense burners they used, and peruse a list of possible Minoan incense ingredients.

@templemom.bsky.socialCan Adelphos forgive himself and open his heart to love once again? A gentle tale of grief and redemption, this story is very lightly spicy, heavily angsty, and full of longed-for happy endings.

@artofthemale.bsky.socialBull of Knossos — iconic Minoan Bull Fresco from the Palace of Knossos: vivid colors, dynamic movement, and ties to bull‑leaping rituals that shaped Bronze Age Crete. A hallmark of Aegean art and ritual imagery. See it: buff.ly/eAQoNUS #Minoan #AncientArt
@templemom.bsky.socialThis week’s Minoan Tarot cards include a dip into a fascinating pattern that traces back through the three years I’ve been doing these readings.
@evavasi.bsky.social3.000 years ago, female Minoan crocus gatherers walked barefoot on volcanic rocks to collect the wild flowers & present saffron to the "Lady of the Animals".
In the medieval times, Tacuinum Sanitatis illustrates a woman meticulously harvesting crocus as remedy.

@evavasi.bsky.socialTwo interpretations of the #Minoan Gold Pendant from Malia, Crete (~1700 BC):
a) traditionally seen as two honeybees holding a honeycomb.
b) new research has identified the insects as mammoth wasps (Megascolia maculata) and the seed heads as Tordylium apulum (καυκαλήθρα).

@templemom.bsky.socialThe Autumn Equinox is a New Year celebration in the Minoan sacred calendar, but that poses interesting challenges for those of us who don’t live in Mediterranean climates.
