Alright, let’s dive into this whole Medicine Woman Tarot thing. I’ve been curious about tarot for a while, so I finally got myself a deck. This one’s called the Medicine Woman Tarot, created by some lady named Carol Bridges. It’s supposed to be all about the “Medicine Path,” whatever that means. I figured, why not give it a shot?
So, first thing I did was just look at the cards. The art is pretty cool, very nature-y, and kinda mystical. I spent a good hour just flipping through them, trying to get a feel for the vibe. They’ve got your usual Major Arcana, but the suits are different – pipes, bowls, stones, and arrows. It took a minute to wrap my head around that, but I think I’m starting to get it.
Getting into the Reading
- Next, I tried to do a simple reading for myself. I shuffled the cards, focusing on a question about my work.
- I laid them out in a basic three-card spread – past, present, future. Honestly, it was a little confusing at first.
- I had to keep referring back to the little guidebook that came with the deck.
But as I read the descriptions and thought about the images, things started to click a bit. It felt like the cards were telling a story, and that story actually kind of related to my question. It was pretty wild, not gonna lie.
I’ve been practicing with this deck almost every day since then. I pull a card in the morning, just to see what the day might have in store. Sometimes I do a bigger spread if I’m feeling extra curious. I’m still a newbie, but I feel like I’m starting to develop a connection with these cards. They’re not just pretty pictures; they actually seem to hold some kind of wisdom or guidance.
I even tried doing a reading for my friend the other day. She was skeptical at first, but after I explained the meanings of the cards, she seemed pretty impressed. It was cool to see how the cards resonated with her situation, too.
So, yeah, that’s my journey with the Medicine Woman Tarot so far. It’s been a fun and interesting experience. I’m definitely going to keep practicing and learning more about this deck. Who knows, maybe I’ll even become a full-blown tarot reader someday. But for now, I’m just enjoying the process of exploring this new world and seeing what kind of insights it might bring.
