I Just Ordered And Received Two New Tarot Decks!
It’s always a good idea to get to know your Tarot Deck . . . and allow it to get to know you . . . A formal “interview” process is helpful as is just going through the cards and sitting quietly with them . . . It gives you a “feel” for the deck . . . I pay particular attention to my thoughts and images that come to mind . . . Then I go through the formal “interview” process.
I’m a bit nervous to see the third card drawn — Describe me . . . Yet it is quite interesting to see what the deck thinks of you . . . That could pretty much sum up the rest of the interview — depending upon the card and how open-minded we are . . .
The spread I’ll be using is compliments of Katey Flowers. I was using a different set of questions and a different spread in my previous deck interview . . . You can always ask how many or as few questions as you like for your personal Tarot Deck interview. It is always good to have a starting point. This one is good as is my previous one. Just cover the information you want to learn about your particular Tarot Deck. This is your interview . . . I allow the deck to tell me whatever it wants me to know . . .
The Star Tarot Interview
Before we begin I just want to say how beautiful these cards truly are with the matt finish, vibrant colors and gold leaf edging . . . I can truly feel the cosmic essence . . . It seems to possess an ancient wisdom that goes beyond my comprehension . . .
1. What can you teach me?
The Emperor — My keyword is Leadership . . . I’m feeling strong authority — Overseeing all that is needed in moving forward with an objective.
2. Describe yourself.
The Fool — I love this card! My keyword is Believing . . . I see a free spirit with blind trust . . . Optimism and truth without planning or reconceived notions.

6. You weaknesses.
The Chariot — My Keyword is Ability . . . The power to advance. Sure-footed action without hesitation . . . I don’t see this as a weakness . . . unless the one receiving a reading isn’t ready to do what is necessary or may feel pressured to do so . . . Yet we have free-will to accept or reject any advice . . .
7. Our potential together.
8 of Pentacles — My Keyword is Advancement . . . Unrestrained . . . Progress is created through your ingenuity . . . This could be a good relationship as long as I take action and respect the wisdom that is expressed from this deck.
My thoughts about this interview . . . I knew this was a serious deck, one that would tell me what I needed to know without sugar coating it. We do need to have a no-nonsense deck to reach for when we’re ready to hear the truth and take the necessary action to make our lives better for ourselves as well as for others . . . I feel good about purchasing this deck and have every intention of consult it with pressing issues.
