Hello everyone
Posted: 03 Jul 2020, 18:43
I've been interested in tarot since a young age from seeing people lay out spreads in movies and recently bought a deck of my own.
I decided on the Hermetic Tarot because the black and white color scheme is in general how I see the world, with not much gray area in between. Good/bad. right/wrong/ and so on. Sometimes it's a judgement call on my part and how I see it is how I address it.
I actually have two decks but felt the Hermetics deck was better suited for me to be handling on a frequent basis. The other is the Russian Tarot of Shadows and I have the English version which comes with a nice little book. If you haven't seen it, it has the pentagram and representation of the Devil on the back of every card. I can post pix sometime.
I collect Russian memorabilia, with a penchant for things from the Soviet Era, and is what interested me in the first place. I tried a couple spreads with it but am too open to that type of influence and thought better of inviting it into my life. No vacancies, thanks anyway.
I tried out the Hermetic tarot once, using the Celtic Cross, with an open mind and a full moon. I had looked at it several days, handled each card, read the book that came with it and that felt like the right time.
I was surprised how accurately it described me, what I had been going though the last year that had been a major disruption to my life, where I am now, what obstacles might lie ahead in accomplishing my goal with victory in sight if I can pull it off.
Not following though was a problem indicated in me not achieving success and I had given up hope of anything ever happening out of it and had planned to just let it go. Now I have to plan carefully and something just fell into place this week that should be of benefit to me in that area.
Years ago I worked with a guy who told me his sister could dowse but he couldn't and not everyone could. This fascinated me and I've done it before. It shocked me the first time I did it when the wires of my mystical coat hanger turned in my hands and I could feel the friction between them and my skin.
I'm interested in spell casting but aware of that whole thing about what I do coming back on me. I believe I could probably use the cards from the Tarot of Shadows for that specific purpose, but need to keep an even keel and resist that kind of temptation.
I'm just a beginner in tarot, as in all things, and hope to learn from people more knowledgeable than myself in many areas represented here. There are many areas of the Hermetic deck I'm not schooled in but interested in like Kabbalah.
