Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with these “Penny Dreadful” tarot cards lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride!
Getting Started
First off, I got my hands on a deck. I saw something online that said these cards tie into that “Penny Dreadful” TV show, you know, the one with all the classic horror stories mixed together? Sounded pretty cool, so I thought, why not give it a shot? I found a place online that had them, thankfully.
Unboxing and First Impressions
When the cards arrived, I ripped open the package like a kid on Christmas morning. The artwork on these things is seriously something else. Super detailed, kind of dark and spooky, but really captivating. Each card has its own vibe, you can tell they put a lot of thought into it. The packaging has a premium feel to it. I spent a good chunk of time just shuffling through them, getting a feel for the imagery. Also, I tried to learn some basic knowledge about tarot cards.
Learning the Ropes
Now, I’m no tarot expert, not by a long shot. So, I hit up the internet, watched some videos, and read some articles about how to actually use these things. I learned about the major and minor arcana, different spreads, and what some of the symbols might mean. It was a lot to take in, honestly. But I’m a fast learner, I guess.
My First Reading
After a few days of studying, I figured I was ready to try a real reading. I picked a simple three-card spread – past, present, future. I cleared my mind, focused on a question I had, and laid out the cards. It felt kind of weird, to be honest, like I was tapping into something I didn’t fully understand. Some of these cards can be super unsettling, but that’s probably why they work!
Interpreting the Cards
This is where things got interesting. I had to look back at my notes and try to figure out what these cards meant in the context of my question. It wasn’t easy, but I started to see some connections. The past card seemed to reflect some stuff I’d been dealing with, the present card was pretty spot-on, and the future card, well, it gave me something to think about, that’s for sure.
Practice Makes Perfect
Since that first reading, I’ve been practicing regularly. I’ve done readings for myself, for friends, even for my cat (she didn’t seem too impressed, haha). I’m getting better at interpreting the cards, and I’m starting to see how they can be a useful tool for self-reflection and maybe even a little bit of guidance.
Final Thoughts
- These Penny Dreadful tarot cards are definitely not your average deck.
- They’re beautifully designed, and they have a unique energy that’s perfect for anyone interested in the darker side of things.
- It takes time and effort to learn how to use them, but it’s worth it.
- I’m still a beginner, but I’m excited to continue exploring the world of tarot with these cards.
- Oh, and the cards can also be used to play some card games, which is a plus.
So yeah, that’s my tarot journey so far. It’s been a learning experience, for sure, but a fun one. Who knows, maybe I’ll even become a tarot master someday! Hahaha, just kidding… unless?
