Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with tarot cards for a while now, and I finally got my hands on the Manara Tarot deck. It’s a bit different from the usual Rider-Waite deck I started with, but I was curious to give it a shot.
First off, I did some digging online and found out that the Manara deck is kind of known for being a bit, well, spicy. It’s not really the kind of deck you’d bring to a family gathering, if you know what I mean. But I figured it might be interesting to see how it handles questions about relationships and stuff like that.
So, I grabbed the deck and started shuffling. Now, the instructions I found said to focus on the Major Arcana cards for this kind of reading, which is just 22 cards out of the whole deck. That made things a bit simpler. I mixed them up real good, like I was making a cocktail of fate or something. After shuffling, I spread the cards out face down. I took a deep breath, tried to clear my head, and focused on my question. Then I just went with my gut and picked a few cards.
- The Fool showed up, which is always an interesting one. I like that card, makes me think of new beginnings, you know?
- And then there was the Wheel of Fortune. That one’s all about change and cycles, which felt pretty relevant to what I was asking about.
I laid them out and, yeah, they definitely had a different vibe compared to my usual deck. I won’t go into all the details, but the imagery on the Manara cards is pretty unique, so it gave me a fresh perspective on things. I spent some time just looking at the cards, thinking about how they connected to my question. I jotted down some notes in my journal, trying to make sense of it all.
I’ve got to say, it was a pretty interesting experience. The Manara Tarot definitely offers a different way of looking at things. It’s not my everyday deck, but I can see myself pulling it out again when I have a question about relationships or maybe even just when I need a new point of view.
It’s like, the Rider-Waite deck is great for general life stuff and practical advice, but the Manara deck, it’s like, it gets into the messy, complicated stuff of human connection, which isn’t always pretty, but it’s real.
I’m still learning, of course, but that’s part of the fun, right? Tarot’s kind of like a never-ending journey of discovery, and this Manara deck is definitely a stop on the road I didn’t see coming, but I’m glad I took the detour.
