I know this is an old video, but I just had to comment. Recently found your channel and it's amazing.. I absolutely love your journal! It's so unique, beautiful, personal and practical. Thanks for sharing it! You've definitely given me some ideas I'd probably incorporate into my future journaling. Also love the whole asestetics of your videos, your voice, your views and opinions and just love seeing your decks and hearing your thoughts, reviews and ideas.
Aw thank you so much, I am so glad you are enjoying my videos and journals. 🙂 Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
I've wanted to start tarot journaling for ages, this was just what I needed! I think setting things out once a week will be key for me (I'm a mother and get very little time alone atm) so I can just go ahead and fill things in - this will be a very doable little self-care practise. Also having a basic 'formula' to use if I'm feeling stuck/tired etc. Thank you SO much, this was invaluable!
Can't wait to see your deck study journal 🎆🙏💞🌿
I find the formula works really well and makes it a quick and easy process for when you don't have a ton of time. Then one those days when you have more time, you can get creative. 😊 My kiddos are mostly grown (only one left at home) so I have more time than I used to to dedicate to my journaling. ❤️ Thank you for watching!
@@DawnMichelleTarot 💞
self educating at its finest 🙌🏾👏🏾😍🍎
Thank you for sharing. I agree with journaling being part of a mindfulness practice, I can just get lost in my pages at times and really enjoy the process, and time spent creating. Other times not so much time can be spent and that’s fine too. 😊
I try to make it mindful whenever I can, but sometimes, yeah, I just slap things in there (or don't do it at all). 😊 Thank you for watching!
This is always a joy and a moment of pleasure and relaxation for me to watch your videos, the image quality is good, the sound really nice, and your voice is.. uuuhh..♥ It give me ASMR, tingles, and all type of amazing relaxation haha
Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoy watching my videos and find them relaxing. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
This was so beautiful. Such a needed reminder to slow down and enjoy the beauty of our cards. And thank you for the reminder that its a process and it doesn't always turn our "perfect" but perfect nonetheless. You are a great teacher!! 🌺
Journaling makes me slow down which is something I need... you know my mind, always going! 😊 I hope this video will be of inspiration to some. ❤️ Thank you for watching!
This was jam packed with great ideas. I've only recently blown out my journals that I've separated into themes: a word only journal, a more visual journal, a spiritual writing journal (similar to this here) and my final spiritual smaller journal that a write in my final notes that is more portable and sits next to my bed for easy prayer/ manifestation reference. All of this was done with recognizing that some stuff acts like more of a mind dump, but most of it is valuable info I want to be able to revisit. Keeping it all together made that difficult to do so I blew it all out into different journals and it has worked for me like a dream!
I'd fallen off the wagon with my tarot studies and I need to bump it up again in a way that allows me to really dive deep into my cards and use them to better see my world around me. I find that when I don't practice my tarot it affects my mood and my dream patterns. I fancy myself an early dream worker and Tarot/ meditation/ prayer and focus have been a big part of that success.
Thank you so much for the tips!
I am so glad you enjoyed it. I find journaling practice ebbs and flows too. I think it's a natural part of the process for me. Thank you for watching. ❤️
I can't remember if I have commented or not, I just need to say that your channel is what gets me excited about getting up in the morning thanks to this Corona Virus, which I hope and pray you and your family and everyone here stays safe. Thanks again Love and hugs from Melbourne Australia xoxo
We are and thank you so much, that is so sweet of you! I hope that you and yours are saying safe and healthy. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
This was amazing and perfect timing! I just got my first dot grid journal that I plan on using as a scrapbook / keeping readings / deck study in. I want it to be an artistic space much like what you have done. So this was perfect and very helpful! I am looking forward to your deck study journal too.
I am so glad you found this helpful! I hope you enjoy keeping a journal as much as I do! 😊 Thank you for watching!
Thank you for sharing this.
You are very welcome, I am so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
This is super lovely to watch :)
Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Your journals are so beautiful. ❤️
You are so right . . . It’s a wonderful way to slow down. Thank you for reminding me of that.
I can’t wait to see your Moonchild Jpurnal.
My Jpurnal looks like the last journal you showed. Totally functional - no art. That’s why I love seeing your journals!
Thank you so much! I often have to remind myself to slow down, to take a moment and just breath and be. ❤️ Thank you so much for watching!
Ooooh I loved this!!! I love the “list of decks” idea! I may have to start incorporating that into mine!
I used to write down the decks I intended to use at the beginning of the month, but I never stuck to that lol. Now I just keep a list of decks I actually use, it helps to know what is actually getting used in my collection and what is still sitting on the shelf. 😊 Thank you for watching!
I love all your journals! I do something similar to your monthly tarot journal. I do a weekly spread - one for each moon phase and then also for the sabbath! I keep my daily draws in a Hobonichi weeks planner. :) I like the journal for each deck. Brilliant! Thank you for sharing.
I like the look of the Hobonichi too but I don't have one of those. 😊 Thank you for watching!
This is a wonderful base to start Journaling my tarot reads. Thank you so much
I am so glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
I love this!Sooo inspiring! I had started a Tarot journal in a Leuchtturm 1917 (without any fancy deco etc) but it started getting too crowded and I wanted to redo it...but now you gave me a better idea! (thank you for that!)...I think I'll redo the card-study part on my PC and keep the print-outs in a massive folder like yours...and create a monthly/weekly practice journal in a journal! (that way I won't have to add things in later on, messing up my layout!) :) Thank you so much for sharing this!Looking forward to your Tarot study video!Much love!xoxo
Alot of my actual study material ends up in my big ugly binder where my journals are a place for me to explore. It seems to work well for me. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. 😊 Thank you for watching!
Love love love your journaling tips and ideas. I struggle with knowing how to set up a journal so I hardly keep one... I may start now that I've some direction. Thank you!!
Oh I'm so glad you found this helpful! I do keep things pretty much the same, but you can check out my monthly journal videos too for a continued look at how I keep it going month after month. 😊 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Thank you to remind me to slowing down and getting to hear my intuitive side
I still have to remind myself of that every time I pull cards. It's wonderful that it's helping you to connect as well, I am so happy to hear that. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
All of your journals looks so pretty and well-organised. Seeing this in your video certainly inspires me to make my sporadic journalling better structured and nicer for the eyes. Maybe I will work with catholic holidays and saints and my cards. Thanks for sharing!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful! I do really enjoy the process of journaling, but I have to admit, I do really enjoy going back through and looking the pages of completed journals too. 😊 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I know you hear this a lot but watching your journaling videos wakes up a creative part of me that’s been dormant for so long... When I watch I just want to drop whatever I’m doing and start journaling! I’ve had scrapbook type journals in the past... yet no where near as mesmerizing as your work. You’ve definitely inspired me. Just bought a journal yesterday for my 2020 tarot journal and if I’m able to stick to it, I’d love to build a junk journal like yours.
One question I have for you- I’d like to come up with a daily ritual and have the journaling be part of my daily ritual. My question is- as journaling is part of a daily ritual for you, what % of your ritual is journaling? What else (other than coffee lol) do you do as part of your ritual (if anything)? Maybe you could do a video on that? I’d also love to see a video on ALL of the journals you have. Lol! When I watch your videos I think to myself, damn, this girl must have a room full of journals. I’d love to see how large your collection is, and maybe some brief flip throughs of your favorites :-)
Thanks for being my inspiration! Subscribed 🙏👍🏻
Thank you so much, I am so glad you find my channel helpful! That's a wonderful idea about my rituals and my journals, I will add that to my list! My personal ritual includes pulling tarot cards, meditation, reading and more recently spending time with the Divine Feminine. I'll put together a video! I'd love to know how your practice evolves! (And I do have quite a few journals, we'll be seeing more of them in 2020!) 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
Thank you for this video!
You are very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
@@DawnMichelleTarot I just subscribed and I've been binging your videos since yesterday. They are so good.😁
I am so glad you are enjoying my videos!
Thank you for this inspiring video. I’ve wanted to start journalling and have bought some blank hardcover books (A4) size. What size, please, are the books you use for your monthly/weekly journal? It looks A5 size. I love your videos and am binge watching through them. Your videos are worth the time to watch and re-watch. 😊👏👏
Ps. Years back I could find amazing magazines at the thrift but not anymore. Ink is expensive too so is there anyway to work around this. Thank you, again:)
I usually just use magazines I buy anyway, then once I read them I tear them up for projects. 🙂 These days I find that I use scrapbook papers and ephemera more than anything else. I also often print things off I find online (Pinterest is awesome for this) and incorporate those into my journal. If you have a color printer, I think this is probably the best way as I use plain paper (no special photo paper) and set my printer to it's middle standard print setting (as opposed to it's high photo quality settings.) This saves a great deal on ink and makes printing from home more affordable. I hope this helps. 🙂❤️
I have been journalism for a while but I just want to find a rhythm. Thank you
I am so glad you enjoyed it. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
oh - i landed here randomly...and I can see..you have very similar hands to me... (neurodermatitis??) I'm also a tarot reader from Switzerland - thanks a lot for your nice video - i also have the moonchildtarot.. :-). Very nice journaling!!
Thank you so much, so glad you found me. Yep, I struggle with dermatitis for sure, it's an every day battle. So glad you enjoyed the journal. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
It sure helped to see your binder. I am curious ho you print those tiny pics without wasting a whole sheet of paper. Also how do you get the color matching the deck in printing. Recently I did a printing and the night scene was not clear at all. Is there a special paper you would use to get truer color? Thanks so much.
Generally I scan the images into my computer and take them into Photoshop and reduce the size and print them from there. I can copy and paste them into a single document so that I can fill the page with cards before I print. Although sometimes I just color copy them, reducing the size on the copier first. I think my print outs look better on camera than they do in person 🙂 alot of times my dark colors bleed together and lose detail too. As I am just using the printouts for reference I generally don't worry about it not being an exact match, however if you want clearer printouts you can try increasing the print quality of printer to a high resolution (or photo quality setting.) Using phot quality paper will help as well, although if you do a lot of printing, it can get expensive. I hope that helps! 🙂❤️
I like the idea of a Self-care Sunday journal, where you record your spreads every Sunday, and keep those separate from your other journal. 😊
Since I'm a beginner at reading tarot, I only have one deck to work with, and I haven't done any daily draws yet. Most of the notes in my tarot books are basic card info, spread layouts (with the cards I pulled), some journaling, and astrological correspondences.
I just started my second tarot journal, too. Since I'm a beginner, it feels like my notes are messy and unorganized. 😅
My notes felt like that for years! Once you get into a flow and a consistent practice your notes may feel a bit more cohesive too. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
@@DawnMichelleTarot You're welcome. 😊 I decided to try a weekly layout like yours for my daily draws, except it goes from Monday to Sunday. 🙂
Hi, Dawn Michelle. 🙂 I was wondering, how long does a tarot journal usually last you? Do you tend to go through journals quickly?
I started a new tarot journal where it's more visual (I draw small doodles of the cards I pull, like a trumpet for Judgement or a circle for the suit of Pentacles with their numbers/court card letters). And I have a section for evening thoughts (how the card I pulled related to my day). I got the idea from Soul Truth Gateway on how to keep a tarot bullet journal. It's really fun. 😊
I'm also using that same visual aspect for my on the fly readings, but I only have one spread documented in my journal so far (other than my daily card pulls).
I tend to listen to this video in the background when I tarot journal. 😄
How wonderful! I usually go through about 2-3 5x8 bound journals a year on average for my Tarot readings,, depending on the number of pages. Although this year I'm experimenting with different journal types (travelers, disc bound) so I'm not sure how it's going to come out at the end of 2020. 🙂 I am so glad you enjoy your Tarot journal process, I find it to be a very helpful and rewarding practice. Thank you for watching! ❤️
Curious if you plan to teach any classes on using Tarot cards...I would love to learn...I use a lot of Oracle cards but never Tarot. Maybe even a series of classes or videos?
I actually am planning some classes, hopefully have more info on them soon! 😊
Hi! Thanks for this video. Does your new month start on the new moon or the 1st of the new calendar month? 😃
I start my journal month along with the calendar month because that aligns with a lot of the other practices and planning that I do. But you could certainly go new moon to new moon, that would be cool too!
Hello. I just found you videos and I love them. I’ve done a bit of Benge watch. I’m this video a card captured my attention. I’d like to know the deck it came from. At 1:14, the tower appears in blue. What deck is this please?
I am so glad you are enjoying my videos! That Tower card is from the Moonchild Tarot. It's a lovely deck.
@@DawnMichelleTarot thank you so much for responding. I’ll look them up.
Hi, I've started tarot journaling - where did you buy your journals? Can you provide a link?
My daily tarot journal came from Amazon, if you go to my latest monthly Tarot Journaling video, there is a link in the description box for that one. However, the majority of my journals come from Walmart. They are the Exceed brand, they are inexpensive and have heavy weight paper that holds up well to everything I put on them. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
Hi ! The link to Hitting the reset button to 2019 journal links to a video that's says it's private
Thanks for letting me know! I was planning on trying to move it to my journaling channel but never got around to it. I'll check it out. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
What size journal do you find works the best for this kind of project?
My daily tarot journal and self care Sunday journals are both 8x5" (A5) and I find that's the size I most commonly use for journaling. It's a good size, room to write and collage but not so much that it's overwhelming. My goddess journal is 8x10 (roundabout) which is one of my largest journals. I got that one larger so I had lots of room to write, doodle and put pictures in. 😊 Hope that helps, thank you watching!
Boho Tarot Yes! Thank you!! By the way I find it so interesting that you go by the name Dawn Michelle and my name is Michelle Dawn!! Too funny!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@michellegottschalk5135 what's really funny is that as a kid I always used to say, why can't it be Michelle Dawn?! 😊
Boho Tarot 🥰🥰🥰
❤️ ~✿~❧~🌿~❧~✿~ ❤️
What kind of pens are you using?
In general I use Stabilo fine point pens for color and occasionally I use Micron in various sizes for accents. My primary writing is done with a regular pen. Hope that helps! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
dang you must go through a lot of printer ink lol
Not as much as you would think! :) I think at my heaviest printing times I only had to replace cartridges once or twice a year.
who is Nicoletta?
Nicoletta Ceccoli is an illustrator who created a Tarot deck titled with her name. So when I speak of Nicoletta, I am usually referring to the deck itself. :)
