Beginner's Tarot Mind! |
The challenge originated here:

So the first question is:
Q1: What got you introduced/involved in Tarot
Like lots of people, I had a dabble with the tarot when I was much younger. I bought a Marseille Tarot deck from a lovely bookshop in Glasgow (John Smith & Sons) which sadly went defunct with the arrival of Borders and Waterstones in the city.
I couldn't read them without referring to the LWB! It was a lot of fun, but I didn't really gel with the images on the cards - but there was simply no choice around at the time.
Everything was going swimmingly with my readings until I did one that indicated The Empress (ie my mother) was going to be the Incoming Influences and in the likely outcome Temperance Rx indicated that I might be unwell. Well, who wants to be ill? I put the cards away and forgot about it.
Within weeks, my appendix burst spectacularly and I was rushed into hospital. On discharge from hospital, I was looked after by my mother.
I know.
SCARY.
I was ill for 10 weeks after the operation - a swab had been left inside me. I thought I'd never feel well again.
So the cards were put away in a bag in a drawer and never looked at again until....
I watched a TV programme with Jane Ross and Michelle Knight. Michelle was teaching Jane to read Tarot cards and I just fell in love.
Tefcat on the Children of Artemis website recommended that I join TABI to learn how to read properly.
I joined.
And TABI went on to form a core part of my Tarot development :-)
Now - YOU have a go!
Oooohhhhh.....I want to be part of this. I feel I am so late joining this and lots of you would be on to Day 3,4,5 before I can finish day 1:(
ReplyDeleteI'm not doing it every day, probably one post per week and will complete it over 30 days - but not 30 consecutive days, Joanna :-)
ReplyDeleteHow long ago was that ? :)
ReplyDeleteHow long ago was it that I joined TABI? I think it might have been around 2003 or thereabouts.
