I just realized that you can't see the lower picot edge in these photos, but that's alright.

My experiments in making tarot bags are going very well. I wanted to figure out a method of construction with specific requirements, and I've found all of those requirements in cylinder and flat-seam construction.

Although I've never interacted with Aphrodite, every time I set about expanding my tarot bag skills, I feel compelled to create a design which honors Aphrodite. This is my closest effort. I don't know her at all, but people's altars for her are often pink and frilly, so here we are.

I think the bag would be improved by replacing the petal-like ruffles at the top with something like a hanging pineapple lace. This design seems cute, but an elegant lace might be better.

Overall I'm happy with this prototype, and proud that I figured out how to join the (heart-like) v-puff stitch in the round all by myself.

I can provide notes on construction if anyone is interested. I'm not sure if there is a big crocheter/Aphrodite devotee crossover crowd 😅

(Enclosed in the photos is the Pulp Tarot, which is a standard sized deck)

#oooh end result looks so good!!

Spent the last week or so finding the perfect gradient of sharpies to color the edges of one of my tarot decks in a rainbow. I think it came out pretty damn good if I do say so myself lol

I wish I new how to handle the wish for the gods for be real. I feel emotional connections to certain figures, but I also know rationally they're not real. I see other pagans talk about the comfort they get from their faith in god/s and I wish I had that. I've tried worshipping a specific pagan god in a sort of symbolic/archetypal sense and in a "I know this is make-believe but I'm doing it anyway" sense and it brought some comfort for a few days at a time and then bean to feel wrong and uncomfortable because I knew it wasn't real.
