So, I started playing around with this tarot deck called the “Mary-el Tarot” the other day. I’ve always been curious about tarot readings and such, you know, diving into those spiritual vibes, and found it to be quite an interesting experience.
First off, I got myself a deck. It’s called the “Mary-El Tarot” deck, designed by Marie White. Man, the artwork on these cards is just insane, really pulls you in. I spent a good while just looking at the pictures, each one telling its own little story.
Then, I started to actually learn how to use them. I looked up some stuff online, found some lessons on Udemy. They teach you all about tarot reading there, pretty handy. I learned that tarot is not just some random card game, it’s a way to get advice, to tap into some old wisdom, pretty deep stuff actually.
The deck, it’s got 22 Major Arcana cards, including this “Fool” card that doesn’t even have a number. I’m still trying to wrap my head around what each card truly means. There are some resources online, talking about how to interpret these cards.
- The Fool: Beginning of a journey, innocence.
- The Magician: Willpower, desire, creation.
- The High Priestess: Intuition, subconscious mind, mystery.
- …and so on…
After getting a basic understanding, I tried doing a reading for myself. I shuffled the cards, focused on a question I had, and drew a few cards. It’s a bit tricky to piece together the meaning of the cards, especially since the Mary-El Tarot is known for its complex imagery. This deck is not really for quick fortune-telling or yes/no questions, it’s more about deeper self-reflection.
I found the whole process quite meditative. It’s not just about predicting the future, which, honestly, I’m not even sure I believe in. But, it is about looking inward, you know, thinking about your life, your choices, and where you’re headed.
I’ve been trying to understand all the different symbols and how they relate to each other, and my life. Some folks online in forums are discussing their experiences with this deck, and it’s cool to see different perspectives. It’s a bit of a learning curve, but I’m enjoying the process.
I wouldn’t say I’m an expert or anything, I’m just a guy trying out something new. It’s interesting, though. This Mary-El Tarot, it’s like a mirror, reflecting back at you, showing you things about yourself you might not have noticed. It’s not some magic trick, but more like a tool for self-discovery.
Continuing the Journey
I’m planning to keep practicing with this deck, maybe even join some study groups online. It’s a journey, you know, and I’m just taking the first steps.
