Tarot Cards yay

Did a few three-card spreads with my deck :D got a few really strong readings, especially on the new deck spread (what will I learn from you/what do you need from me/what will our relationship be like). The other questions were all somewhat silly ones about a crush I have and I got the impression that I was getting unclear readings because I should just go talk to the person if I really want to know these things.

The deck also keeps spitting The Hermit and Temperance at me. And I do know why. Hopefully being out of the house/away from mom will help me de-stress and find balance again.

Anyways I was so nervous that I would just be crap at reading on my own and get nonsense and so on and so forth but that doesn't seem to be what's happening at all :D and it doesn't really feel like I'm doing it alone, it feels almost like having a conversation with somebody, in a way I didn't get when I was doing joint readings on Corey's deck.

Okay, I will spare y'all any more tarot ramblings. Until my Fantastic Menagerie deck arrives, I will probably be too excited about that to keep quiet about it :P

It is great :D you can probably find a cheapish deck in a local bookstore or occult/pagan store. I don't suggest you go buy two expensive decks right away like I did P: I tend to be a special case in terms of committing to certain things, and I also found myself to be VERY picky about tarot decks.

Pics of my cards? :D I was actually planning to take a few, but I think I'll wait until I make (i.e. buy and hem) the cloth I'm going to use for them. So it's more than just standard pics you can find on google. It's such a handsome deck though :3 I'm proud to have it.

I've done some Tarot. I knew someone who used to say you can't read Tarot for yourself but I always could. Prefer runes, though :-P

Yeah it seems like I can read for myself but have trouble doing so. The first reading I did on the aforementioned crush was a past/present/future of the relationship and it took me a bit to realize that it seemed I was reading THEIR past/present/future outlook on it, not mine xD it may just be a question of concentrating harder.

I've looked into runes and I might try them out, but being as my primary personal god has always been Anubis, it seems to make more sense to use tarot cards.
