Hey everyone, so I’ve been messing around with tarot cards lately, and I gotta say, it’s been a wild ride. Today, I want to talk about my journey with the Marseille tarot deck. Now, I’m not some kind of tarot expert or anything, but I’ve found it to be a pretty cool way to think about life and stuff, you know?
I started with the Rider-Waite deck because I heard it was good for newbies like me. People kept saying it was the most popular, with pictures that were easy to get and all that. And yeah, I found a bunch of guides online that helped me out with the basics. It was all good, but then I stumbled upon this thing called the Marseille tarot. I didn’t know much, but the name sounded fancy, so I figured, why not give it a shot?
First off, I did a little digging. Turns out, the Marseille deck is way older than the Rider-Waite. It has some history, I guess. That made me kind of curious. I went ahead and got myself a Marseille deck. When I first held it, I was like, “Whoa, these cards feel different.” I can’t really put my finger on it, but they just felt… more raw? I dunno, maybe it’s just me.
- Getting to know the cards: So, I started pulling cards, just to see what they were about. The pictures weren’t as clear as the Rider-Waite, which was kind of a bummer at first. But then I noticed something. Each card seemed to have a connection with the others, like they were part of a bigger story. That was new to me.
- Trying out some readings: I did a few readings for myself, and it was interesting. The Marseille deck seemed to make me think more about the bigger picture, you know? It was less about specific advice and more about, like, the vibe of the situation, if that makes sense.
- Comparing it to Rider-Waite: With the Rider-Waite, I could usually get a pretty clear answer to my questions. But with the Marseille, it was more like a feeling, or a sense of the overall energy.
I kept practicing. Pulled more cards, did more readings, thought a lot. The more I used the Marseille deck, the more I realized it was less about getting a straight “yes” or “no” and more about exploring different possibilities. It felt like a tool for thinking, rather than a tool for getting answers, you know?
Here’s the thing, though. I’m not saying the Marseille deck is better or worse than the Rider-Waite. They’re just different. It’s like, if you want someone to tell you exactly what to do, Rider-Waite might be your thing. But if you want to, like, explore your own thoughts and feelings about something, then maybe give Marseille a try.
In the end, I guess it’s all about what you’re looking for. I still use both decks, depending on my mood and what I’m trying to figure out. So, if you’re curious about tarot, don’t be afraid to try different decks. You might be surprised at what you discover. And hey, if you’ve got any experiences with the Marseille deck, or any tarot deck for that matter, I’d love to hear about it. Let’s chat in the comments!
