Okay, so I’ve been getting into tarot lately, and I found this deck called “The Enchanted Tarot.” It looked pretty cool online, so I decided to give it a shot. I’m going to walk you through my whole experience with it, from unboxing to actually trying a reading.
Unboxing and First Impressions
I ordered the deck, and when it arrived, I was pretty excited. I ripped open the package – gotta love that feeling! The box itself was nice, sturdy, and had some pretty artwork on it. Inside, the cards were neatly packed. I took them out and flipped through them.
- First thing I noticed: the artwork is really detailed. Lots of intricate designs and vibrant colors.
- Second thing: the cards felt good in my hands. Not too flimsy, not too stiff. Just right for shuffling.
I spent a good amount of time just looking at each card. The imagery is pretty symbolic, which I guess is the whole point of tarot, right? There were lots of moons, stars, mythical creatures – that kind of stuff. It definitely had an “enchanted” vibe.
Getting to Know the Deck
Before doing a reading, I wanted to get familiar with the cards. So, I pulled out the little guidebook that came with the deck. It explained the meaning of each card, both upright and reversed. I read through the descriptions, trying to connect the meanings to the images on the cards.
This part took a while. There are 78 cards in a tarot deck, so it’s a lot to take in! I made some notes in my journal, jotting down keywords and phrases that resonated with me. I also tried to visualize how the cards might relate to each other.
My First Reading
After a few days of studying the cards, I felt ready to try a simple reading. I decided to do a basic three-card spread – past, present, and future. I shuffled the deck, really focusing on my question. Then, I laid out the three cards face down.
I flipped over the first card – the past. It was some card with a picture of a woman holding a bunch of flowers. According to the guidebook, it represented abundance and growth. I thought about it for a bit, and it kind of made sense in the context of my question.
Then I flipped the second card – the present. It showed a knight on a horse, looking all determined. The guidebook said it represented action and taking charge. Okay, that resonated with my current situation.
Finally, I flipped the third card – the future. It was a card with a picture of a big, scary-looking tower. The guidebook said it could mean upheaval or sudden change. Honestly, that kind of freaked me out a little!
Reflecting on the Reading
After the reading, I spent some time journaling about the cards and what they might mean. It was interesting to see how the cards seemed to connect, even though I was still pretty new to this whole tarot thing. The “future” card definitely made me think, and I’m still trying to figure out how it all fits together.
Overall, my first experience with “The Enchanted Tarot” was pretty positive. I like the artwork, and the cards feel good to work with. I’m definitely going to keep practicing and see what else I can learn from this deck. It’s a journey, right? And I’m just getting started!
