hey, tarotologists out there, something I'm wondering about -
so if I understand this right, the reading of a card depends on an interpretation of its image?
wouldn't that mean the same spread of cards might read very differently depending on which deck I use? as someone coming from Lenormand, this is mildly troubling
@typhlosion Decks /very much/ have unique personalities and tend to say different things. One of the biggest pieces of advice I can give is to find a deck that has a metaphor space that's resonant for you personally. There's a /lot/ of decks out there. Look at the art first and some will just... feel right? More resonant?
@typhlosion (Disclaimer: I'm really novice.)
For me, rider-waite-smith feels built for a world very different from the one I live in. There's nothing there for me to grab on to. On the other hand, I started out with Silicon Dawn which is altogether too snarky and has nonstandard card meanings so that might've not been the best play either.
@starkatt Yup yup yup. It took me ages to find my first deck because I had that same feeling about RWS and everything similar to it. Oddly enough, the first one I had, which was a perfect fit at the time, now feels a bit disconnected from where I am too. Haven't actually found one that sits just right with where I'm at now.
