Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this thing called “Radiant Wilds Tarot” lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. It all started when I stumbled upon this deck online. The artwork just grabbed me, you know? Super vibrant colors, really cool imagery, like nature but with a mystical twist. I thought, “Why not?” and ordered it right then and there.
When the deck arrived, I was pretty stoked. I cleared off my table, made myself a cup of tea, and got ready to dive in. First thing I did was just look through all the cards. Each one is like a mini piece of art. I spent a good hour just admiring them, feeling the texture of the cards, and soaking in the vibe.
Then, I started reading the little guidebook that came with it. It explains the meanings of the cards and some basic spreads you can do. I’m not gonna lie, it was a bit overwhelming at first. I mean, 78 cards? Each with its own meaning? But I decided to start simple. I shuffled the deck, really focusing on my energy and all that jazz, and pulled one card for a daily reading.
The card I pulled was “The Sun.” According to the guidebook, it’s all about positivity, vitality, and success. I have to admit, it kind of set the tone for my day. I felt more energized, more optimistic. It was a good start. From there, I started experimenting with different spreads. The three-card spread, the Celtic Cross, you name it. It took some time to get the hang of it, to really understand how to interpret the cards in relation to each other. I had to look up online for better understanding of how to set the spread and ask myself questions related to the cards.
My Experiment Journal
- Day 1: Pulled “The Sun” – Felt awesome all day. Definitely a good sign.
- Day 3: Tried a three-card spread for a work issue. Got “The Tower,” “The Hermit,” and “Strength.” Kinda freaked out at first, but after thinking about it, it made sense. It was like a warning to slow down and be more mindful. I made notes in my journal about how these cards could relate to my work situation and what changes I might need to make.
- Day 7: Did a Celtic Cross spread for a big decision I was making. It was intense! Ten cards, all laid out in a specific pattern. Took me a while to interpret it, but it gave me a lot to think about. The central card, “The Magician,” suggested I had the power to shape my own destiny, which was pretty empowering. I took a picture of the spread and spent the rest of the day reflecting on the meanings of each card and how they connected to my decision.
- Day 12: Started noticing patterns in the cards I was pulling. It felt like the deck was really speaking to me, you know? Like, I kept getting “The Star” card, which is about hope and inspiration. It felt like a gentle reminder to stay positive and keep pursuing my goals. I started to feel more confident in my readings and trusted my intuition more.
- Day 20: Did a reading for a friend who was going through a rough patch. It was a bit nerve-wracking, but I think it helped her. We talked about the cards for a long time, and it seemed to give her some clarity and comfort. It was a powerful experience to be able to use the tarot to connect with someone else on a deeper level.
- Day 30: Okay, I’m officially hooked. I’m still learning, but it’s been such a cool journey so far. This deck is beautiful, and it’s really helping me to reflect on my life and connect with my intuition. I even started designing my own tarot journal to track my readings and insights.
It’s not about predicting the future or anything like that. For me, it’s more about self-reflection and gaining a new perspective on things. The Radiant Wilds Tarot, with its beautiful imagery and insightful symbolism, has become a really cool tool for me. I’m still learning and exploring, but it’s been a rewarding experience so far. It’s like having a conversation with myself, but with pretty pictures! And, honestly, who wouldn’t want that?
