Instagram Contest Pics 2014

I loved running the World Tarot Day Instagram Contest!

Participants snapped photos of 'Tarot in the World' people and things that look just like Tarot in real life.  We know that Tarot is a mirror of the world but the world, interestingly, can often mirror Tarot. I was blown away by the creativity, sensitivity and gorgeousness of the folks who sent me snaps.

Want to find them all on your own? On either Instagram or Facebook search #queenofwandstarot to find the full selection. Below are the winners of the contest along with a few of my favorites.

First Place Winner

Honorable Mentions

This was great fun and it was very difficult to choose who gets placement. Below are some honorable mentions that I also wanted to share with you!

I personally made many submissions throughout the day but this was my favorite of the group I shared. Everyone, meet Ace of Wands!

My only Lenromand contribution came from Katrina Wynne of Transformative Tarot Counseling. See what she did there? The sea and the tower? Lovely!

This is an incredible, and incident shot taken by Marcus Katz of the Tarot Association renown and highly regarded Tarot author shared with me his shot of 5 of Pentacles. The resemblance is very striking.

Eloy who won 2nd place above also made this stunning contribution of 2 of cups. It was hard choosing which of his many submissions were the winner!

To everyone else who contributed your time, skills and talent thank you for making World Tarot Day a success!
