So, I finally got my hands on a new tarot deck. I’ve been eyeing this one for a while, and it’s even cooler in person. The first thing I did, obviously, was tear open the packaging like a kid on Christmas morning. Inside was the deck, all neat and tidy in its little box.
I decided to set the mood a little. I lit a candle and put on some chill music that always helps me focus. Then, I started going through the cards one by one. It was kinda cool making sure all the cards were there. They all passed the check! But more than that, I was really trying to vibe with the artwork. Each card was like a tiny, intricate painting. I spent a good chunk of time just looking at the details and comparing them to other decks I have. It’s interesting how different artists interpret the same card, you know?
While I was doing all this, I also did a little cleansing ritual. I imagined this white light just flowing into each card. Sounds weird, I know, but it felt right. Also, I took slow, deep breaths as I went through the deck, which I think helped me focus and connect with the cards even more. I laid them out in a long line, but you can arrange them in rows or even a circle—whatever feels right to you.
Get to know the new deck
- Unboxing: Carefully removed the tarot deck from its packaging.
- Cleansing: Performed a cleansing ritual by visualizing light entering each card and using slow, deliberate breaths.
- Connecting: Spent time examining each card individually, focusing on the imagery and comparing it to other decks.
After getting to know the cards, I shuffled the deck a few times. I’m still learning, but I thought, why not try a simple three-card spread? It’s a basic one—past, present, and future. I laid out the cards and did my best to interpret them based on what I’ve learned so far. It’s not like I’m a pro or anything, but it was a fun way to get a feel for the new deck’s energy. I think with some more practice, I can get better at it and will do some harder spreads in the future.
Honestly, the whole process was super chill and pretty enlightening. It’s not just about predicting the future or whatever. For me, it’s more about self-reflection and getting in tune with my own intuition. This new deck feels like it’s going to be a great tool for that. I’m excited to keep practicing and see what other insights I can glean from it.
