Alright, so the other day I was looking for a new tarot deck. I wanted something unique, you know? Not just the same old Rider-Waite stuff. Don’t get me wrong, Rider-Waite is a classic, first published way back in 1909 by the Rider Company, and it’s cool that it was based on the instructions of some academic and mystic dude named A. E. Waite, and illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith. But I already got a couple of those, and I was feeling like I needed a change. That’s when I stumbled upon this thing called the “Spiral Tarot”.
I did a bit of digging online, not gonna lie. Apparently, this deck is all about myths and legends, especially from Ancient Greece. That sounded pretty cool, so I looked up some images. The artwork is, like, really something else. It’s all watercolor and hand-painted, with this modern vibe that’s not all traditional and stuffy. And get this, the Fool card is apparently one of the most valuable cards in most tarot games. Who would’ve thought, right?
Anyway, I decided to take the plunge and order a deck. It arrived the other day, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. Here’s what I did:
- First, I just held the deck in my hands for a while, feeling the texture of the cards. They’re a good size, not too big or too small, and they shuffle really nicely.
- Then, I started looking through each card one by one. The colors are so vibrant, and each image really tells a story. It’s like, you can just get lost in them, you know?
- I spent a good hour just studying the cards, getting a feel for the energy of the deck.
- Finally, I decided to do a simple three-card spread for myself: past, present, and future. I won’t bore you with the details, but let’s just say the reading was pretty spot on. It definitely resonated with me.
So yeah, that’s my experience with the Spiral Tarot so far. I’m really digging it, and I think it’s going to become one of my go-to decks. If you’re looking for something different, something with a bit of a mystical vibe, I definitely recommend checking it out. It’s a unique deck for sure, and hey, it is a great way to expand your collection. You won’t regret it.
I plan to use this deck for my daily draws, and maybe even try some more complex spreads in the future. I’ll keep you guys updated on my progress. Peace out!
