I just bought my first deck a few months ago. My consiousness was telling me, to take my time, look at the deck, research it on google to try an get a picture of what the art is like and to make sure I feel somewhat of a connection with the cards I buy.
Well becaues it was my first deck, My emotions took over and I just bought the first deck I saw. Now Im having some troubles reading the deck? should I have listened to my inner consiousness? Not only that, but Im wondering if anyone can lend me a few tips, websites with information that can help me out please?
You may be having troubles reading the deck because it's your first one, or you're not bonded to it well enough. Try sleeping with the deck under your pillow, singing or talking to it, or just spending time with it. This should bond you closer.
You can also do a deck interview spread to get to know more about the deck's personality. I know there are a few lurking around on the internet.
Take some time to get to know your deck asw well as study it. You can start the connection process over by putting the cards back into order and then cleansing it. After which, you can do things like sleep with it under your pillow, carry it with you, a dedication ritual, or just spend time shuffling it or holding it and taking time to look at the images in-depth to get a feel for the art and what it means.
Part of using your cards is also learning how to read them in the first place. Learning both your personal meanings as well as this prescribed in the book that came with your deck and then also how the cards flow together with their meanings in a reading.
Here is a list of resources that I've put together:
I actually put it under my pillow the first night, and the dreams I had where the most colour vivid dreams I had ever had. It was very weird. It was like a kaleidoscope of colours. Thanks for all that info 4quaman, Ill take all the infor you gave me an give it all of a shot.
Mz.Kalamity I bought the old english deck. Im scared to do cleansing or any spells becaues I am new an have heard they can back fire. I want to make sure I know what Im doing/how it works before I start cleansing. Thanks for the websites ill forsure visit them, and if I have more issues ill message thank you! I also started shuffling them before bed every night.
