Alright, so I got my hands on this Hanson-Roberts Tarot Deck, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a journey. First off, I snagged this deck online – super easy, just a few clicks and it was on its way.
When the package arrived, I ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning. Inside, there was the deck, all neatly packed, and a little guidebook. I spent a good chunk of time just flipping through the cards, getting a feel for the artwork and all that.
Now, the guidebook, it’s pretty straightforward. I started reading through it, trying to make sense of each card’s meaning. It’s not rocket science, but it does take a bit to get your head around it all. I mean, there are 78 cards in the deck!
After I had a basic grasp of the cards, I decided to try a simple reading. I cleared a space on my table, shuffled the deck while thinking about a question – nothing too heavy, just something I was curious about. Then, I laid out a few cards in a spread I found in the guidebook.
Here’s how the spread went:
- First Card: This one’s supposed to represent the heart of the matter. I flipped it over, and it was The Magician. I took that as a sign of potential and having the resources to tackle what I was asking about.
- Second Card: This is the challenge. I got The Tower, which kind of freaked me out at first. But after thinking about it, I figured it might mean some major changes or upheavals were needed.
- Third Card: This was about the advice. I drew The Star. The guidebook talked about hope and inspiration, so I took it as a sign to stay positive and trust the process.
I sat there for a while, just staring at the cards and thinking. I jotted down some notes in my journal, trying to connect the cards to my question. It’s not like I got a clear-cut answer, but it definitely gave me some food for thought.
Since then, I’ve been practicing with the deck regularly. I’ll do readings for myself, sometimes for friends. It’s kind of fun, and I do feel like I’m getting better at interpreting the cards. It’s a whole process, you know? You shuffle, you lay out the cards, you look at the pictures, read the book, and try to piece it all together.
It’s not about predicting the future or anything like that. For me, it’s more about self-reflection and getting a different perspective on things. Plus, the artwork on these Hanson-Roberts cards is just really cool to look at. It’s like a little art project mixed with some introspection.
So, that’s my experience with the Hanson-Roberts Tarot Deck so far. It’s been a neat little adventure, and I’m definitely going to keep at it. Who knows what I’ll uncover next?
