My very first tarot deck lol. The box is a little beat up because I've had this for almost 10 years now. It's interesting because I didn't know back then that these things actually call to you lol. I remember walking past a little store in the mall back in Moreno Valley, CA. I have always been intrigued by spiritual stuff and the unknown, and strangely enough, I felt a strong energetic pull as I walked past that store. The pull was so strong that it drew me in, and I made a beeline straight to the back of the store where I saw this deck (and a few others) sitting on a shelf.
I didn't buy it right then, but I felt like I wanted to have it as my own. At that time, I knew nothing of tarot, nor did I understand its purpose. But after seeing this deck, I knew that I wanted to learn more. I walked past that store on several different visits to the mall, and each visit, that deck was still there, in the same spot lol. I was afraid to purchase it because I feared what my family and friends would think. One day, I built up the courage to buy it, and it has been with me ever since.
This IS NOT a beginner's deck, so I had no idea what I was doing lol. I was just so drawn to it and so happy that I made the purchase. I kind of hid it in my closet for a few years before I opened it, and even tried to shuffle for the first time. Now, it's second nature to me lol. This is my oldest deck (hence the tape on the box lol), and I hold the utmost respect for it. To be honest, it helped start my journey, and for that, I am grateful. It kind of scares the crap out of me to this day, mostly because the ancestral messages are brutally honest, and the images are equally as gripping.
I have created my own tarot deck after doing this in private for almost a decade. I'm curious, do you own any tarot decks? If so, what was your first one? Do you have a favorite?
