Hello! From the Midwest, United States

[crystalballer7983]

Glad to be here.

I was searching for an online tarot forum to join to help expand my interest in tarot and cartomancy. I am looking to network and meet individuals with similar interests. Also looking to get critiques as I create tarot decks.
I am also interested in doing practice readings. I have become interested in selling card readings online and would like to practice to see if that's really my cup of tea (lol). I figured this community may be an excellent fit.

I have strong convictions but am open to criticism. I love learning new things even when they seem scary (lol).

I enjoy studying and researching topics such as occultism, divination, witchcraft and the metaphysical.

I also enjoy writing fiction, drawing indie comics and songwriting.

Welcome @crystalballer7983, how long have you been reading and creating tarot decks? I believe most, if not all, of your interests are covered somewhere here in this forum. It’s a wonderful place to be.

I began collecting decks 7 years ago, just doing readings for myself.
I've been doing readings for family occasionally for about 2 years but I'm still a newb.

I recently began working on several concepts for tarot decks and am just getting into the creation process so I am a newb in the creator department, as well.

So a seasoned newb is where I would assert myself, an aspiring reader and creator. 😃

@DanielJUK

Excellent.

The practice and feedback will be like gold atp in my journey.

Thank you for the info.

[DanielJUK]

It's this section if you want to offer tarot readings - https://www.thetarotforum.com/forums/forum/20-tarot-reading-exchange/

Read the rules at the top. When you post a thread, you are welcome to put in the first post your own boundaries or guidelines for your exchange. Like I don't do readings on this or this, I will be using this deck or this. Totally up to you 🙂 . It can go a little slow at times, so you might need some patience 🙂 . Good luck with it.

Ah, cool. I missed that! While it wasn't my main reason for joining, I want to develop my skills specifically at reading online.
