Alannah posted an update in the group
Tarot School 9 years, 1 month ago Hey, I’m Alannah. I’m pretty quiet ’round Autostraddle but I thought I’d maybe start posting more. I’ve been reading tarot for a few years off and on but never really found it spoke to me. The old-timey images don’t really give me much, but I only recently discovered how radical tarot can be. That changed everything, and it felt like it could actually apply to my life! Right now I’m reading with the Wild Unknown, primarily.
That was long winded maybe…HI!
LOL – that wasn’t long-winded at all! Welcome to the group! Tarot art has exploded in such a good way in recent years. It seems a lot of artists are bringing more current imagery into it, which is wonderful. I don’t have Wild Unknown, but I’ve seen it and it’s gorgeous! Been reading a lot from The Dreaming Way Tarot lately and having great luck so far – it’s a relatively new deck, and has very youthful/timeless imagery.
Hey Alannah! I know what you mean about the older images not speaking to you – I feel the same way, though I do have a *major* soft spot for the Rider Waite Smith tarot. I really believe there’s a deck for everyone out there somewhere :)
I picked up a mini RWS deck because I wanted to practice with its very specific imagery since it’s what so many modern decks are based on. I also picked up the Housewives Tarot because I loved the snarky tone. There decks for everyone, definitely.
