Hallo!

 

I'm Woland, I'm new here but was a lurker on Aeclectic back in the day, and am looking forward to getting back into community. 

 

My grandmother taught me to read playing cards when I was in primary school, and I learnt tarot from my aunty not long later, but I've never made a living from it or anything like that. My favourite deck is the Thomson Leng, which has been my go-to reading deck since 2002.

 

Lately I've taken to collecting old decks, and to start to teach myself how to read Kipperkarten and Zigeunerwahrsagekarten and similar systems, after I picked up a really strange 32-card German deck that I'm trying to find out more about, and more about the history of cartomancies in general.

 

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hello @Woland welcome to the TT&M Family  What a great way to learn to read the cards. 🤗

Thank you! My aunt taught the whole lot of us cousins, and her daughter went on to read professionally, but as kids it was just a lovely way for us to play together (and, I suspect, a very smart way of keeping nine rowdy bairns quiet for an afternoon!), I've got a tonne of happy memories of it ❤️

Welcome to the community @Woland 😃 Glad you have found us here

Thank you @DanielJUK! This looks like a lovely place.
