Okay, so I got into this whole Renaissance Tarot thing a while back, and I have to say, it’s been quite the journey. I mean, I’ve always been a bit of a history buff, and the Renaissance period has always fascinated me. So, when I stumbled upon this beautiful deck that combined my love for history with my interest in Tarot, I was hooked.
I remember the day I decided to give it a go. I was browsing online, and there it was – this gorgeous deck, filled with images of classical gods and goddesses, and all these symbols that seemed to be straight out of some ancient myth. I ordered it right away, like I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.
When it finally arrived, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. I tore open the package and just started looking through the cards. I mean, the artwork was just stunning. It’s not just a copy of some old deck; it’s like the artist, Giorgio Trevisan, really captured the feeling of that time – you know, the beauty, the music, the art, everything.
I decided to really dive in and learn how to read these cards. I mean, it wasn’t just about knowing what each card meant, but also about understanding the stories behind them. I got myself this little notebook, and started jotting down notes, card by card. I researched the meanings, the symbols, the myths – the whole nine yards. It’s like, each card is a little piece of history, a story waiting to be told.
- I spent hours, days even, just studying the cards, trying to connect with them.
- I practiced doing readings for myself, then for friends. It was a bit clumsy at first, but I kept at it.
- I even found these online resources, like cheat sheets, that were super helpful.
It was a slow process, but I was enjoying every minute of it. I felt like I was learning something new every day. And it wasn’t just about the Tarot; it was about the history, the art, the culture of the Renaissance. It was like taking a trip back in time, but also learning something about myself along the way.
This deck, the Renaissance Tarot, it’s more than just a bunch of cards to me now. It’s a way to connect with the past, to tell stories, to understand myself a bit better. It’s been about ten years since I started, and I’m still learning, still discovering new things. It’s a journey, and I’m here for it, loving every step of the way.
