hey what's up

[niomi]

I've been reading tarot for ~20 years. I used learntarot.com at first with a random crappy Lo Scarabeo deck from the mall. I made my first informed deck choice, Clive Barret's Ancient Egyptian, from Aeclectic Tarot reviews & studied with the posters there. Ancient Egyptian is what I typically use to read for others. I like that it combines RWS and Thoth traditions. I'm not much fond of RWS itself but I can appreciate its influences in other decks and its clones too; I just don't think the og RWS inspires me. I have also enjoyed Hermetic Tarot and Robin Wood which I gave to a friend (but I wouldn't mind acquiring it again sometime). Ultimately I got into Thoth. My best unexpectedly good deck is the Game of Thrones Tarot.

 

This is a pretty consumerist entry. I have a personal relationship with the cards but I'm not great at writing it. I'm not much a neo-pagan at my roots. But thru my study of Tarot and it's connected materials, numerology, astrology, etc, I have appreciated and appropriated some neo-pagan practices. These communities have welcomed me (mostly 😉 ) I would usually describe myself as an atheist but at my most mystical I might try to describe as a kind of psychedelic animist.
