Greetings from the hills!

[Anoesis]

Hello! I'm Anoesis, or Alex (either is fine), hailing from Macclesfield, where I can usually be found traipsing round the surrounding countryside, clambering up hills and checking out views (the higher the better!) I've been interested in tarot cards from a young age, having seen and heard of them, but not quite understanding what they were, so naturally they were shrouded in this great mystique that never really went away. Despite that however, it was only last year that I actually got a deck and started learning tarot properly; since then, it's become part of my daily routine. Mostly I've been keeping up with daily cards and journalling, but as the past few weeks have been a bit... challenging both internally and externally, then I've gotten more into doing more in-depth readings as well, kind of as a complement to other self-care activities. I've found that they make very useful prompts for exploring and understanding my emotions, where I would previously just see my feelings as an insurmountable mess, sitting down and doing a reading helps me to calm down and actually have an honest think about what's going on without feeling overwhelmed or agitated.

I'm generally looking forward to actually being able to discuss tarot reading with other people because thus far, I have yet to find other folks either in the real world who share this interest! (To be fair, this could be down to some hardcore wallflower tendencies more than a lack of tarotists in the local area.)

It's lovely to meet you all! :)

Hi Anoesis! Welcome to the forum. I use the cards in a similar way as well. That said, the reading circles here on the forum are well worth joining if you'd like to learn more about how to read cards.

Welcome and have fun exploring the forum. :)

Hi Anoesis, and welcome to Tarot, Tea, and Me! It's great to have you with us. :D

 

I also have found Tarot to be an excellent tool for delving into one's own self. I would say that the majority of readings I do are for myself, but I do enjoy reading for other people as well. And, as far as connecting and talking about Tarot, TT&M is an excellent place. I'm looking forward to your input.

Hi Alex, and welcome to the forums. :) I love hiking/walking around myself, especially if I want to clear my mind or whenever I feel the need to recharge.

Thanks everybody! :)
