Okay, so I’ve been wanting to mess around with tarot cards for a while, and I finally decided to dive in. I found this “Dragon Tarot Deck” online, and I thought, “Why not?” I’m a big fan of fantasy stuff, so dragons and tarot? Seemed like a cool combo.
First, I ordered the deck. It took a few days to arrive, and when it did, I was pretty stoked. The box itself had some awesome dragon art on it, making me even more excited to see what was inside.
Unboxing and First Impressions
I opened the box and pulled out the cards. They felt pretty good in my hands – not too flimsy, not too stiff. The artwork? Seriously impressive. Each card had a different dragon, all in vibrant colors and with tons of detail. They really captured that mystical, powerful vibe I was hoping for.
There was also a little guidebook included. I flipped through it briefly. It seemed to have explanations for each card, both the upright and reversed meanings. It also had some basic spread suggestions, which was helpful since I’m a total newbie.
Getting to Know the Cards
I spent some time just looking at each card, one by one. I tried to connect with the imagery, you know, see what feelings or thoughts each dragon evoked. Some were fierce and intimidating, others seemed wise and gentle. It was a pretty cool experience, just absorbing the art and letting my imagination run wild.
My First Reading (Attempt!)
Okay, so I decided to be brave and try a simple three-card spread – past, present, and future. I shuffled the deck, really focusing on a general question about my current path in life. I’m not gonna lie, I felt a little silly, but also kind of excited.
I laid out the three cards and then consulted the guidebook. It was a little tricky to interpret, to be honest. The meanings were kind of vague, and I wasn’t sure how they applied to my specific situation.
- Past: The card showed a dragon guarding a treasure hoard. The book talked about holding onto things too tightly, maybe being resistant to change.
- Present: This one depicted a dragon soaring through the sky. The interpretation suggested freedom, new opportunities, taking risks.
- Future: A dragon curled around a crystal ball. The guidebook mentioned intuition, looking inward, trusting your gut.
Reflecting and Next Steps
Honestly, I’m still processing the reading. I think it’s telling me to loosen my grip on the past, embrace the possibilities in front of me, and trust my instincts as I move forward. It’s kind of general, but it also resonates with some things I’ve been feeling lately.
I’m definitely going to keep practicing with this deck. I want to get more comfortable with the cards and their meanings, and maybe try some different spreads. It’s a fun, creative way to explore my thoughts and feelings, and the dragon theme just makes it even more enjoyable. Who knows, maybe I’ll even become a semi-pro dragon tarot reader someday! (Just kidding… mostly.)
