I've talked quanta into buying me yet another Tarot deck, the Pagan Tarot by Gina M. Pace. Honestly, I think the search for the perfect deck is never ending. Each time I get a deck that I expect to be "The One" I always find something wrong with it. So, I've stopped searching for "The One" and started seeing each deck as good for a certain type of reading.
Of course, the problem now is that I don't do reading as often as I'd like. I'm thinking about offering some more free readings on Tarot Forum. It doesn't hurt to have lots of practice. I'm also going to start dipping into Nina Lee Braden's Tarot for Self Discovery and Christine Jette's Tarot Shadow Work.
I just hope that I actually get around doing these things. I often make big plans, yet never get around to them. (I'm sure I'm not the only one!
) This is going to be a busy week, with both my mom and quanta's twin sister visiting. But I am promising myself that I will make some time.
I tried doing a reading on myself with the cards, but it took me too long and by the time I was done I didn't understand what it was saying so I gave up - they are packed away at the moment.
I had a friend that loved Tarot . . . she usually kept multiple decks with her, always . . . she had one 'favorite', then the others 'just in case' her favorite 'felt wrong'. I don't think I'm explaining it very well, but no Tarot reader I know has ever found a 'perfect' deck. Good Luck!
