I feel like a kid in a candy store!

[Kristin]

I can't believe I'm just now stumbling upon this forum! I was on Aeclectic for years and learned so much through those forums. When they shut down I was devastated; I searched for other forums and tried facebook groups but nothing ever felt the same.

So heeeeey! I'm Kristin from Laguna Beach, California. I'm 38 and have been reading tarot since my teens. I remember hiding my very first deck because my parents were strict Christians and I didn't want to get in trouble. Can anybody else relate? 😬

 

Continued in comments because there's a 100 word limit?...

Fast forward 20-ish years and I've had a revolving collection of decks probably passing 100 in count. And now my mom even makes me tarot cloths!

 

For work I run my own social media management and web design business. I'm trying to create a career that I can travel a little with!

 

In my free time I love reading, journaling, hiking, swimming in the ocean, collecting mineral specimens, binging historical documentaries, playing with my cat, talking to my houseplants, and hanging at the bars with my amazing boyfriend.

 

I'm SO happy to be here!

Glad you have found us here @Kristin 😀

AT's closure was so sad. There are many familiar names here and also loads of new people found us, it made a new warm community 🙂

 

Hope you can continue your tarot journey here

Welcome! I can relate to your story as I grew up with extremely religious parents as well. So awesome you continued with tarot, and your other hobbies are awesome too!

You ARE. Being here is very very expensive, just like AT.... Great to see you; lock up your credit card before reading threads.

So says the worst de-enabler ever.

Thank you, thank you everybody for the warm welcome!

 

PS I am willingly not going to lock up my credit card.... tarot is one indulgence I allow myself 😝

 

Let the fun begin!
