  • 30 Day Tarot Challenge | Day 4

    You’re going on a journey……
    and acquiring an expensive habit

    Question 4: How long have you been reading the Tarot?

     Bought my first Tarot deck yonks ago – but couldn’t read with it without referring to the Little White Book, which is no way to read Tarot cards!

     I joined TABI (The Tarot Association of The British Isles) in, I think, 2003 and undertook their training course. I could read the cards competently after that.

    However, it’s an ongoing process – you are always learning and discovering something new to add to your knowledge about the cards.
    That’s what I love about them. I hate using the expression ‘it’s a journey’ *rolls her eyes* but hey, yanno, it IS a journey!

     Hey, it’s just dawned on me that I’m 10 years THIS YEAR in the Tarot world!!!

     A DECADE!! <- yes, shouting 😀

    *suddenly feels august, sage and yes, Mary-Beard-like*  That is, now that I think about it, longer than my marriage lasted.  Mind you I have stuff in the fridge that lasted longer than my marriage 😀

    So it’s my 10th Tarot birthday – anybody bring a party tooter? Bottle of sherry?

    So – now YOU tell ME how long you’ve been reading the Tarot! I also have a question for you – Do you think that knowing someone has been reading for decades makes them a better Tarot reader than someone who has been reading for a shorter period of time, but who’s studied until their eyes bled and their credit card squeaked for mercy?

    *pops open the Pringles crisps, pours self a small sherry, twangs the elastic on her party hat under her chin and waits for pals to turn up*
