I've been interested for years and finally decided to take a dip into learning more about it after I had an experienced tarot reader do a reading for me in an online game 2 and a half years ago. On top of genuinely wanting to enjoy my studying of tarot and its many branches, I'd also like to re-strengthen my intuition, understand my Life Path(5) and to genuinely have fun learning new things about myself with the help of this wonderful tool.</em> </p> <p>   </p> <p> <em><img alt="spacer.png" class="ipsImage" data-ratio="72.00" height="562" style="height:auto;" width="1000" data-src="https://www.gigascreens.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Honkai-Star-Rail-Everything-Known-About-Black-Swan.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></em> </p> <p>   </p> <p> <em>That aside, I'm a huge gamer and devour fantasy books when I have down time from life and capitalism. </em> </p> <p>   </p> <p> <em>I love complex characters that wade in the muddy waters of morality and genuinely seem to attach myself to characters who either sacrifice themselves for others, are eccentric but true to themselves, motherly-figures, are difficult to read, or just don't live for very long. </em> </p> <p>   </p> <p> <em>I'm an avid tea and coffee drinker, a taker of naps, enjoyer of quiet spaces, literature and music that vibrate my soul, and a lover of all forms of art created by beautiful human hands. </em> </p> <p>   </p> <p> <em>I hope we can get along ^^)</em> </p> <p>   </p> ]]></description><language>en</language><item><title>Oh.https://www.thetarotforum.com/blogs/entry/126-oh/ Silly me forgot to cancel my RWS deck order since I ordered a different deck (White Numen) that wasn't on my wish-list at all (the card that made me gravitate towards the purchase option was my birth card, The Hierophant.)

 

But, in getting this deck, I figured I'd interview it anyway and see what its strengths and weakness' were since I needed to practice for the next deck coming in.

Questions I asked for the interview spread:

1. What will our relationship be like?

2. What are your strengths as a deck that'll help me move forward?

3. What are you not happy to be working with?

4. What type of messages can I expect to receive while working with you?


 

Well...the first card I pulled for the first question I asked, I feel like I might have misspoke and said out-loud that I needed to practice for the new deck arriving in a few days and may not be using this deck as much anyway. I could just be overthinking it, but I felt like this deck feels as thought it's going to be competing or that it might be argumentative were I to use this for anything else.

Despite the other responses being alright, I feel like it's not too happy with me!

I constantly found myself struggling interpreting the cards and couldn't figure out why until two nights ago. It sounds picky but I felt like the visuals of the cards were constantly throwing me off. As I scrolled through various websites before adding the vintage Raider Waite Smith tarot deck to my cart, I found myself thinking, "what am I to do with the old deck?". I felt a little guilty for even replacing my previous deck as I hadn't had it for that long and I had spent a lot of time bonding with it, despite struggling interpreting the visuals. It sounds silly, but I hope it doesn't feel too upset with me for ''replacing'' it.
