I’ve found myself a beautiful pack of cards, I really love them.
I was dying to try them out on someone other than myself so I gave my mum a reading earlier. It went well considering it was my first time, but I think I’ll practise on somebody else until I’ve got the hang of it. She’s learning to read them too (although she’s been doing it for a lot longer than I have) and she kept making comments and trying to take over a little bit, e.g. “Well I see what you’re saying, but I think it means this...”. It was off-putting to say the least. I’m so easily distracted as it is, I was getting rather annoyed. I acknowledge that she’s a lot better at it than I am and she does know what she’s talking about, but different people see different things; I was the one doing the reading and I was trying to interpret the cards in my own way! I was quite proud of myself!
Never mind :) I need to start a tarot journal soon so I can make notes on each of the cards, and I want to do a bit of research into symbolism and colours too. I’ve got a long way to go yet but I think this is something I could get into.
