My Journey with the Cosmic Wisdom Tarot Deck
Alright, let’s talk about this Cosmic Wisdom Tarot deck I’ve been messing around with. I wasn’t always into tarot, honestly. Sounded a bit out there. But I kept hearing folks talk about it, not like crystal ball stuff, but more for thinking things through. Saw this specific deck, the ‘Cosmic Wisdom’ one, and the artwork just kinda grabbed me. Looked different from the old-school ones.
So, I decided to just get it. Impulse buy, maybe. When it arrived, the box was pretty sturdy, felt nice. Opened it up, the cards themselves had this smooth finish. The art was definitely unique, kind of spacey, abstract almost. Not your typical kings and queens, you know?
First Steps Were Awkward
Okay, so first thing I did was try to shuffle them. Felt like I had ten thumbs. They’re a bit bigger than playing cards. Dropped a few. Eventually got a sort of messy shuffle going. Didn’t really know what I was doing, just pulled one card out. Stared at it for a bit. It had some weird symbols and colors. Didn’t mean anything to me right off the bat.
There was a little booklet, but it was pretty brief. So, I did what everyone does, went online. Looked up general tarot meanings. Like, I saw stuff about the Wheel of Fortune meaning luck or destiny. But looking at the Cosmic Wisdom version of that card, it gave me a totally different vibe. More about patterns, things repeating. Less about just dumb luck.
Figuring It Out (Slowly)
It wasn’t like BAM, instant understanding. It took time. I started pulling one card each morning. Just one. I’d look at the picture, think about what it felt like it was saying, then maybe look up a traditional meaning and see how it fit, or didn’t.
- Sometimes it felt spot on with what was going on in my head.
- Other times, it was just a weird picture.
- Slowly, I started seeing connections. The images began to make more sense in their own way.
Heard some people saying tarot readings are accurate, like research found loads of people felt it matched their life. I dunno about all that, but I did find that sitting with a card, just thinking about the image and my gut reaction, often helped untangle thoughts I had. It wasn’t telling the future, more like holding up a weird mirror.
Making it a Habit
It’s become part of my routine now, most days anyway. Shuffle, pull a card, have a look while my coffee brews. It’s like a little mental check-in. I don’t ask it “will I win the lottery?”. It’s more like, “what’s a good energy to focus on today?” or if I’m stuck on something, I might pull a card just to get a different angle.
I remember one time feeling really blocked on a project. Pulled a card that was all about flowing energy and weird shapes connecting. Didn’t magically solve the problem, but it made me think about letting go of my rigid plan and trying a different approach. And that actually helped.
So, What’s the Verdict?
Look, it’s just cardboard with pictures. But this Cosmic Wisdom deck? I like it. The images work for me, better than the really traditional ones sometimes. It’s a tool. Like journaling, or talking something out. It gets my brain working in a different way.
People always ask what’s the ‘best’ deck. Honestly, I think it’s just the one that clicks for you. If the pictures look cool and make you think, great. If they don’t, find another one. This Cosmic Wisdom one just happened to be the one that resonated with me when I started. Still use it pretty regularly. It’s been a practical thing, surprisingly.
