I wanted to send out a heartfelt thanks to Lady Iron Side and all others who are contributing here...reason being I started out hating this deck and now I am falling in love. I am at home recuperating from a serious illness and this is so healing. In fact, this is just what my spirit and my heart needed. I am reading the book and it is speaking to me like no other tarot book ever has. This is better than medicine! Your continued input is greatly anticipated!
I can only speak for myself, and I accept and send you back a hearfelt thank you, your input has been very helpful as well.
I am so pleased that you gave the wildwood a second chance, as time passes you will find that this deck is the medicine you needed and always had within you, before now that door was closed, now it has flung right open for you to explore, healing comes from within, some need help to start seeing it, and that is what this deck has done for you. <smiles> This deck will also beome very close to you a special bond will strongly form. your other decks will also have a special place in your heart as well yet in a different way. There is always room for love and many more decks in your heart. <smile> [edit: I not sure how to say it, but here it goes, welcome to loving yourself, cause when you love, you heal, you attract love and give healing back. Does that make sense to you. That is what I found about the text written in the book, some was hidden between lines, he he ]
I know from personal experience that door was closed for me, until that day came and I asked my neighbor if she knew of Shaman for I wanted to talk to one. then I walk into a store and there was the wildwood tarot. That was my first step, now the door is wide open for me. I am feeling my way around learning this deck as well, I haven't fully grasped the wheel of year stuff yet or understanding of shamanism, reading lots and trying to retain what I am reading. some stuff I am not comphending and get confused a bit. It really is nice when we have others that know more about these subjects whom have contributed, so a big thanks goes out to you. I sometimes find that it's nice to follow someones lead, then to lead, cause really I am kinda tired of alway having to figure it out. lol I will continue to contribute what i see in this deck, my thoughts may not go along with others, by they are mine to share and bring insight, inspiration and leaving it always for other points of view.
I wish you a speedy recovery,
Sincerely
LIS
Edit: While I was outside smoking a cig, I was thinking of you and a voice went off, I don't know why but it told me to have you look at this card Six of Stones. know what your to do is look at this card and write down asking yourself questions by reading between the lines like this " I, my body, my mind, my spirit/soul exploits and resources read it as if it talking about you being the earth. Then post it up in the study group.
