Voltie — 666 Posted 6 years ago ( 2018/12/10 23:41:48 )



I was wondering if any of you are interested in tarot cards?
Are you a practitioner or do you just like being read? Or are you the type to appreciate the art on the decks?

Just wondering haha I own four decks myself and usually do readings for myself.
Maybe if people are interested I wouldn't mind doing a reading for others but I seldom do it <u >

"the type to appreciate the art on the decks"
you know it πŸ‘ˆπŸ‘ˆ

i don't believe in that stuff, but i can appreciate it like i can for fiction books. there's always something captivating about the art on tarot cards.

@Shark:
they do look awesome haha


@okios:
not going to lie, it's the art that got me into them.
As for how they work usually they work on what you already know subconsciously so I, personally, find them helpful when I'm trying to talk to myself and figure stuff out. I don't really find it as helpful if someone else does the reading for me or vice versa cause i just find the whole progress a more personal procedure.

I love the art on them and I would probably collect some if I had the funds. We have a version of tarot here on Voltra made by Ghost

I don't really understand tarot but I also enjoy the art on the cards haha

I think it's really cool when artists make a tarot deck based on a franchise or some other topic that they like. The creativity they put into the art for each card is amazing! There have been a couple of decks that I've really wanted to buy just for the art on them.

Sometimes I wish I knew how to use them so I could justify spending money on them

I've got a collection of tarot cards somewhere at my mothers house... and I recently found a set of cards called Naipes Finos. Its a set of playing cards made for a specific type of game BUT ALSO, as I later found out, are also commonly used as tarot cards. I knew right away when I found them that they were more than just playing cards because the imagery on the cards was so vibrant and detailed, and their suits were more like "wands, coins, swords, and chalices" rather than "hearts, stars, and horse-shoes."
I also like to dabble in other means of divination. As a roleplay geek, I often use dice (aka Cleromancy) because I always have dice around. I also have a soft spot for numerology <3

@xirin:
oooh, what are the names of your decks?

@Saeyra:
OOOH That is so cool! Thanks I'm going to check it out!
Also, if you're interested in the decks they are some really pretty decks that are cheap/affordable you can buy from Wish or Aliexpress.


@Hachi:
Hahah yeah some franchise decks are great. Although, some tarot veterinarians hate them with passion
They are pretty easy to read once you get the gist the general meaning of each cards ^^


@Glume:
Oooh yeah, they resemble the style of the classical Rider Waite's tarot deck. Awesome!
Pretty much you can use any playing cards deck for divination. Although since Playing cards lack any equivalents to Major Arcana cards they are often regarded as Oracle decks more than Tarot. I have a deck that is a playing card as well but the way it works is some of cards supposedly be representative of Major Arcana depending on which sides they turned up. Personally, I just find that annoying so I just use it as an oracle deck.... cause it is an oracle deck.... and the artist who created it just wanted to cash in for that "tarot" title. :/

I am not sure if I will ever read them but I will just keep them for the pretty pictures. I am such a sucker for pretty cards!

@Saeyra:
Lmao I meant *veterans πŸ˜‚
Hahah I feel like once you actually bought one with style and art that resonates with you that you'll drawn to reading them. That's definitely how it came to be for me.

@xirin:
Ooooh wild unknown deck is great. I've vene eyeing that for some time! Also by classical are you talking about the Rider Waiter deck?
Or Crowley's?


@Alexis:
It's very interesting practice and easy to get hang of when you get the basics.


@Totalanimefan:
Hmmm I'll message you about the details?


@Another Movie Addict:
Ooooh a deck attracting you is a good sign. Usually when you're drawn to a deck they are the ones that's mostly compatible to you.

@devil: I once saw someone on deviantart design tarot cards in Art Nouveau style and lemme tell ya it gave me chills. I don't know if they ever finished the deck or made prints but it was truly inspiring.

Despite the headaches they give me, with witchcraft in general, I would love to own the Kawaii Deck.

Lmao that's one way to get your attention hahaha πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Gave you been trying to read it?


@Saeyra:
Oh wow that's brilliant πŸ’•πŸ’•
I wanna have a go at designing it as well. Haha but it is a intensive process.

@Little Crane:
Is it just a kawai deck or it is really called "The Kawaii Deck"? And I get what you mean ahha I like witchcraft but sometimes it does give me headache πŸ˜‚


@xirin:
It is pretty! But it's a different reading style compared to RW reading. Crowley Didn't agree with how you read Waite's style so he created his own way. I don't know how you exactly read it but his deck is amazing, as a person though, he was very controversial πŸ˜… with his orgies, dark craft and being an open member of the illuminati and all.

@devil: It is called Kawaii Tarot. Tis very cute. The headaches are constant, so I usually opt to not give it attention. This deck is too cute, though.
