Alright, let’s talk about tarot cards. I got into this whole thing a while back, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. So, I figured I’d share my experience with you all, from square one to where I am now.
First off, I went and bought a tarot deck. I mean, you can’t really do tarot without the cards, right? I spent a good chunk of time just looking at different decks online, trying to find one that felt right. There are so many styles and themes out there, it’s kinda nuts.
- I browsed and compared different tarot decks to find my preferred one.
After I got my hands on a deck, I started learning what each card means. There are, like, 78 cards in a standard deck, and each one has its own little story and meaning. I started reading this big old book I found about tarot, and it was pretty dense, to be honest. But, I kept at it, reading and flipping through the cards, trying to get a feel for them.
- I began learning and reading and studying about the meaning and symbolism of each card.
- I flipped the cards over and over to help myself memorize.
Then came the time to actually try reading the cards. I started with a super simple three-card spread. You basically lay out three cards, and each one represents the past, present, and future. It’s a good way to get your feet wet without feeling totally lost.
- I performed three-card spreads for myself and friends, each representing the past, present, and future.
- I used a three-card spread to get familiarized with the cards and their meanings.
I practiced a lot, doing readings for myself, then for my friends. I’d write down the questions we wanted answers to, shuffle the cards, and lay them out. Then I’d try to interpret what the cards were saying, based on what I’d learned. Sometimes it made sense, sometimes it was a bit of a stretch.
- I practiced tarot readings regularly.
The more I practiced, the more comfortable I got with the cards. I started to see patterns and connections, and the readings started to feel more… intuitive, I guess? It’s like the cards were a tool to help me tap into my own intuition and insights. I also started doing more complex spreads, with more cards and different layouts. Each spread is like a different way of looking at a situation.
- I expanded to more complex spreads with multiple cards and layouts to enhance my readings.
Now, I’m not saying I’m some kind of psychic or anything. But I do think tarot is a really cool way to reflect on things, to get a different perspective, and maybe even tap into some wisdom you didn’t know you had. It’s been a fun and interesting journey, and I’m still learning new things all the time.
- Through practice and reflection, I found tarot to be a valuable tool for self-discovery and gaining new perspectives.
So yeah, that’s my tarot story. From buying a deck to doing readings, it’s been a process of learning, practicing, and just seeing where the cards take me. If you’re thinking about getting into tarot, I say go for it! Just be patient with yourself, and have fun with it.
Practice makes perfect
I kept practicing tarot reading regularly. I wrote down my experiences and thoughts in my notebook, and shared them with friends.
- I journaled my tarot reading experiences to track my progress and insights.
- I shared my readings and discussed interpretations with friends to gain different perspectives.
