I have been fascinated by divination since I can remember. However, having my parents become devoted Christians during my late childhood meant that I had to hide the side of me intrigued by myths, magick and alternative spirituality. I've wanted a tarot deck for about 2 years now, ever since I've realised that witchcraft and paganism is the path for me - and I finally got it!
Now, it is the standard Rider-Waite Smith, but what better deck to study with than this one? Ive been having so much fun these past few days just looking though the cards, shuffling them and seeing what comes up.
Although I'm not the biggest fan of the artwork, I appreciate the overall imagery in this deck and was surprised to find out how easy it is for me to use intuitively. I'll admit though, the little white book is not my favourite, and I am still looking for a good, indepth online reference to the meanings behind each card.
Im super excited to use this deck as a learning tool, both to be able to further connect with my intuitive side, as well as my higher self and the deities I work with.
I hope to get some more decks in the near future, as I am moving away to university in September. For now though, I will work on getting the basics down so that I can read using this baby with ease.
