Inthetree
My very first deck was, technically, a bootleg copy of the Clow Cards oracle that I printed out myself! I must have been 12 or 13 at the time, and I just adored the show Card Captors. I had no idea what tarot really was, besides cards with strange and interesting titles that my mom thought was evil; so they seemed about right to me! A few years later, my parents seperated and I ended up with a lot of time by myself at my dad's apartment downtown. There was a 'new age' kind of shop down there where I spent most of my time the summer I was 15. Eventually I saved up to buy a RWS deck (20$ was a lot of money to me!). I played around with it for a year, feeling very mystical and rebellious; but then I entered a strong Christian phase and threw it out. Less then a year later I was back in that same shop, picking out a new RWS and a few books on Wicca, and the rest was history!
