*nods* Okay. Well, when i first started with Tarot, my friend had the Avalon deck. And i was really interested in it. But she didn't know how to use them all that well. Hell, I didn't know how to use them. I told her to mentally ask a question as i was spreading out the deck. Like you, i did a seven card spread from left to right, and then i flipped them over, and when i did, i was REALLY surprised because i KNEW what each of the cards meant even though i had never looked at them before.

I just thought I'd share something to keep you people amused. Those of you who have been with the group for a while know that I'm interesting in divination using the Tarot. Well, I've read some books, got a deck, but haven't really done any readings before.. but today I decided to pick up the cards and uhh "break them in", I suppose, by asking them a question that has been bugging me a bit lately. Anyway, I just wanted to know whether a choice I made recently was a right one, so I used a seven-card spread I learned from one of my books which gives a yes or no answer. Answer came out as "yes" and the cards gave a pretty comprehensive explanation. So now that I have that experience with me I think I pretty much made the right choice choosing the Tarot cards as one of my tools. Anybody want to share their first Tarot-reading experience?
