Okay, so, I got into this whole tarot thing a while back, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started with a basic deck, you know, the usual Rider-Waite one. But then I stumbled upon this Spiral Tarot deck, and it just called to me. It’s got all these cool mythical figures, mostly from Ancient Greek stories. I thought, “Why not?” and dove right in.
First things first, I spent some time just looking at the cards. Each one is like a tiny piece of art, packed with details. I mean, we’re talking serious eye candy here. I noticed that the suit of Swords, for example, is all about the mind and communication, which totally makes sense since it’s linked to the element of Air and the direction East.
Then, I started doing some simple readings for myself. Nothing too fancy, just drawing a few cards each day to see what vibes I was getting. It was a bit like learning a new language, trying to figure out what each card was trying to tell me. The deck came with a little guidebook, which was helpful, but I also found myself looking stuff up online. There are tons of resources out there, it’s almost overwhelming!
I found a lot of tarot card meanings cheat sheet. Then, I tried to do readings that each card has a bunch of different meanings, depending on where it shows up in the spread and what other cards are around it. I began to do something more complicated.
My Practice
- Getting to Know the Cards: I spent days just shuffling the deck, looking at the images, and reading about their meanings.
- Daily Draws: I pulled 1-3 cards each morning to get a sense of the day’s energy.
- Journaling: I kept a notebook to record my readings and any insights I had.
- Experimenting with Spreads: I started with simple 3-card spreads and gradually moved to more complex layouts like the Celtic Cross.
- Learning from Others: I joined a few online tarot communities to see how other people were using the cards.
Honestly, the more I practiced, the more I started to trust my intuition. The cards were like a mirror, reflecting back my own thoughts and feelings. It became less about predicting the future and more about understanding myself better. The Spiral Tarot deck, with its beautiful artwork and unique symbolism, has been a great companion on this journey. It’s like having a wise old friend who’s always there to offer guidance and support. I know this “friend” is actually just cards, but you know what I mean, right?
I’m still learning, of course, and I probably always will be. But that’s part of the fun, right? It’s like a never-ending adventure, always discovering new layers of meaning and insight. If you’re thinking about getting into tarot, I say go for it! Just remember to be patient with yourself, trust your gut, and enjoy the process.
Oh, I almost forgot! I did try to do a reading for my friend once. They’re going through a job hunting. It was a bit nerve-wracking, but they said it was helpful. I just simply told them what the card was trying to tell them, just like I did for myself. That’s another fun part, use these cards to help people around me.
Alright, that’s all about my journey with the Spiral Tarot deck. Hope you guys enjoy it! Maybe I will share more stories next time!
