Okay, let’s talk about these angel tarot reading cards. It’s something I picked up and started messing around with a while back.
Getting Started with the Cards
So, I got this deck, don’t even remember exactly why, maybe someone recommended it or I just saw it somewhere. First thing, opened the box. The cards felt nice, smooth, you know? The pictures were bright, lots of angels, very different from traditional tarot which can look a bit intense sometimes. Came with a little book, which was good because I didn’t know where to start.
I flipped through the book first. It explained each card, supposed meanings, stuff like that. Seemed straightforward enough, less complicated than other decks I’d glanced at. So, I figured, let’s give it a try.
My Simple Process
Alright, here’s what I actually do. Nothing fancy.
- Quiet Time: First, I find a moment when things are calm. No point trying this with chaos around. Just need a few minutes.
- Holding the Deck: I pick up the cards. Shuffle them. I don’t have a special way, just mix them up until it feels right. Like shuffling regular playing cards.
- Thinking of Something: While shuffling, I think about what’s on my mind. Not necessarily a huge, dramatic question. Sometimes it’s just ‘what should I focus on today?’ or ‘what energy is around this situation?’. Keep it simple.
- Drawing Cards: When I feel ready, I stop shuffling. I usually just cut the deck and pull one card, or maybe three. Depends on how much time I have or how deep I want to go. One card is good for a quick daily check-in. Three cards, I usually think of as past-present-future, or situation-action-outcome. Simple layouts.
Figuring Out What It Means
This is the part that took practice. And honestly? It’s still just my take on it.
First, I look at the card. Really look at the picture, the colors, the main figure. What pops out? Sometimes the image itself gives a feeling or an idea.
Then, I grab that little guidebook that came with the deck. I find the page for the card I drew. I read the description. The book usually gives a few keywords or sentences. I see if any of that clicks with what I was thinking about, or with the picture.
Important bit: I don’t treat the book like it’s absolute law. Sometimes the official meaning feels totally off for my situation. That’s fine. I try to blend what the book says, what the picture looks like, and just my own gut feeling about it. It’s more about prompting my own thoughts, you know? Like a conversation starter with myself.
Sometimes the message is super clear, other times it’s vague. Sometimes it just tells me something I already knew but wasn’t admitting. It’s not magic fortune-telling, for me it’s more like a tool for reflection. Helps me pause and consider things from a slightly different angle.
So, What Now?
I still use them now and then. Not every day. Just when I feel like I need to untangle my thoughts a bit or get a little nudge. It’s become a simple, quiet practice. Nothing earth-shattering, just pulling a card, reading a bit, thinking a bit. It’s a practical little ritual, helps me check in with myself. That’s pretty much my whole journey with these angel tarot cards. Nothing mystical, just trying things out and seeing what works.
