As I mentioned in my last post, I am very new to tarot, my love for it only being a few months old. So, my first challenge as been to bond with my two tarot decks that I have. After googling, reading other people's blogs, and watching youtube videos, I have come across a few ways that work for me. However, at the same time, one deck, my Wild Unknown, still remains elusive and a mystery to me.
Get it, because it is the Wild Unknown?
I thought that was funny...
Anyway, my other deck, The Happy Tarot, was very open to me and very open about itself. I mentioned before that I researched ways to bond with tarot decks and the most common way was to sleep with the deck(s) and to do daily readings. So I did both.
And boy was it an adventure.
Two nights ago I slept next to both of my decks, Happy Tarot insisted on being next to my heart, whereas Wild Unknown didn't specify a place, so I cuddled with it. The energy from Happy Tarot was so intense and giddy that I could not sleep until the sun came up, and even then it was hard. So I got three hours of sleep, but I really got to bond with that deck. The word Giddy also chanted in my head like a mantra, and my heart said that this was the name of my Happy Tarot deck. So that deck wants to be called Giddy. The energy from this deck is like a young child, and normally that would scare me because children give me anxiety, but with Giddy, it was so tender, so sincere, so innocent. I have never had a maternal instinct, but I have one for Giddy.
This may be why I am having trouble bonding with Wild Unknown. Because Giddy is so, well giddy, Wild Unknown's energy got overshadowed. So I guess I just need to be careful of managing their energies.
Last night I slept with Wild Unknown under my pillow and though this time I slept, I did not get any energy from this deck. So I feel a little lost with this deck.
The other suggestion I remember and have been trying is to do daily readings with one card. I'd like to share my thoughts on what my cards were for today.
Starting from left to right, the Wild Unknown card is the three of wands and Giddy's card is the fool.
I have had these cards on my bedside table all day and am now reflecting on them after some of my day has gone by. The three of wands is a card says to me as a "form your own opinions". There is also a sense of intuition and reflection, claiming your future, and clarifying goals.
Whew~
I don't know how to go about this card to be honest. It could apply to so many things that I don't know where to begin. Looking at the image on the card, the colors are inside the wands, and my core says "Let them out". The triangle is also pointing inward and at me. So maybe I need to release my colors and stop hiding my true self.
That is a lot to think about.
The fool card says to me that I am beginning an exciting adventure. And the image is so carefree and the fool is jumping off the cliff with his whole body. So, maybe that is how I should approach the three of wands card.
This daily draw was kind of beautiful if not a bit intimidating.
And I still don't know how to approach my Wild Unknown deck. Maybe I just need to take a plunge with it and be honest and stop hiding. I really need to just use it.
