Tarot School 9 years, 2 months agoHey everyone,
Sorry about the lapse in our weekly card analysis. I definitely intend to keep this going, as it seemed like it was becoming a really good resource with everyone chiming in about their interpretations of the cards. And I loved hearing about everyone’s experiences! I love it so much! I’ve just had a lot on my plate lately…Next…[Read more]

Tarot School 9 years, 3 months agoI’m really curious – how did you all get into tarot? For me, it was an amazing first reading – before that, I didn’t even really know what tarot was and nearly turned down that first reading – so glad I didn’t!
Would love to hear other people’s stories…

Someone gave me a deck as a gift. A few years later I got another one as a gift(ann druyen science tarot) and it went from there.

I had played around with it before in college, once or twice. But reading your column here on AS and then branching out to reading your blog convinced me to start digging into it for real.
I’ve been in a stage of transition since I graduated grad school, and I have a tendency to explore things really hardcore at times like this (last time, I made…[Read more]

That is a really interesting question! And I just realized… I’m not sure how I became interested in tarot. Someone bought me my first deck but I had been jabbering about how much I wanted to try it for a long time before that.
One thing that does stand out in my mind (disclaimer, a film studies reference is about to happen) is the opening to…[Read more]

Oooooh films-with-tarot-in!! Will check it out!

My mother had the Morgan Greer deck when I was a child. She did tarot readings for herself, palm readings for us girls and our girlfriends when we had sleepovers and was interested in horoscope as well. Eventually she put all of it aside, but I never forgot how drawn I was to those cards and bought my first deck when I was 16.

Aw wow. I’m always especially intrigued by people who learned tarot (and more) from their mothers/aunts/ grandmas/other elders… my family are as straight as they come and it took me a long time to actually tell them I read tarot.
Must be such a fascinating thing to actually do with your mum! I can’t imagine. I’d love to sit down with my mum…[Read more]

I hope it does happen for the two of you. Unfortunately for me, my mom put her cards away before I had my own deck so it hasn’t really been passed down from her. Should I have any children, though, I know I’ll be sure to include them in it.

That sounds amazing! I wish I could’ve had similar experiences. You’re very lucky. My family is very strict religiously and tarot is something I definitely cannot share with them.
-
Thank you. I’m sorry tarot isn’t something you can share with your family. :(
-
That’s a shame Alison – do you love close to your family and need to keep it secret?
On that note I know plenty of Christians who balance Tarot with their faith, and a Muslim woman who doesn’t see any conflict – but it all depends how you practice your faith I guess.
I hope one day you’re able to break the secret! xx
