Always good to catch you three. Some great learner advice here. I love hearing folks interpretations of the cards still for the exact reason discussed. They’re often far more varied reader to reader than I think learners are led to believe sometimes. Which perhaps helps relaxing into the play of interpretation rather than feeling like rigid memorisation is the way to go.
I learned on the centennial one and light seers , the Llewellyn one helped me learn a bit more on tarot , terra volatile has been a really good one to read with to for me , the guidebook has helped me to dig a bit deeper into my tarot journey, I'm hoping to do a deep dive of wisdom of Pooh tarot and the gentle tarot these next few months
So sorry I missed you today, especially because I'm in the process of writing a review for a local metaphysical store about decks to get as a beginner if you don't want or like Pixie's art. I'm taking a look at two U.S. Games decks: Old Style Tarot and Star Maiden Tarot. Thank you for sharing your ideas and thoughts!!
I learned with Robert Wang's Golden Dawn deck (a Pip deck with ugly Pips) and I had no book but the LWB. After a while I got the Thoth and the motherpeace and the RWS, and books for them, and I must say the motherpeace really clicked for me, and the Thoth was great too ( I had a book by Akron and Banzhaf for the Thoth). The RWS didn't at first, it took me a while despite reading several books, but some cards never made sense to me, why they should mean what was in the books. I saw them differently, but wasn't confident enough to just go with "my "meanings. So I read with my other decks and Margarete Petersen mostly, until decades later, and suddenly I could read RWS too (maybe because my confidence to trust my own numerological and elemental meanings was better by then).
Also highly recommend T. Susan Chang's 36 Secrets and actually doing the decan walk really brings the minors to life. Great topic ladies, always love seeing you all 😊
Not y’all making me wanna buy some of these decks 😝 also, I totally started w wild unknown as a beginner deck (because I liked the art) and it was a horrible beginner deck! The art is so removed from RWS educational materials, and the WU guidebook itself is (imo) so useless lol
