Okay, so, let me tell you about this tarot deck I’ve been messing around with lately. It’s called “Smoke, Ash, and Embers,” and it’s all about dragons. I’ve always been a bit of a dragon nerd, so when I saw this deck, I just had to get my hands on it.
First off, I gotta say, the artwork is stunning. I mean, seriously beautiful. Each card has a different dragon on it, and they’re all so detailed and unique. I spent a good chunk of time just flipping through the deck, admiring the art before I even started trying to read with it.
The deck comes with 78 cards, you know, the usual tarot setup – 22 major arcana and 56 minor arcana. Plus, they threw in an extra ten of swords, which is kind of cool, I guess. Once I actually started using the deck, I was surprised by how thick the cards are. They feel really sturdy and durable, which is nice because I tend to be a little rough with my stuff.
I started by just pulling a card a day, you know, to get a feel for the deck. I’d look at the image, think about what the dragon was doing, what kind of vibe it gave off. It was like getting to know each dragon individually, which was a pretty cool experience.
Then I started doing some basic three-card spreads. Past, present, future, that kind of thing. It was interesting to see how the dragons interacted with each other in the readings. Some of them seemed to get along, others not so much. It was like watching a little dragon drama unfold on my table.
I also tried a few larger spreads, like the Celtic Cross. Those were a bit more challenging, but also really rewarding. It felt like the dragons were telling me a complex story, with all sorts of twists and turns. I’m still not sure I understand everything they were trying to tell me, but I’m definitely getting there. You know, it’s like the dragons were trying to guide me to be a better person, or maybe I’m just reading into it too much. Who knows?
I have tried to find the official website to learn more details about the deck’s meaning, but unfortunately, that website is closed.
Honestly, I’m still pretty new to this whole tarot thing, but I’m having a lot of fun with this “Smoke, Ash, and Embers” deck. It’s not just a tarot deck, it’s like a little world of dragons that I can explore. I feel like I’ve made 78 new dragon friends. How cool is that?
