I had a deck that I didn't connect with, and packed it away for awhile. A few years later, I took a creative writing class in college, and to complete an assignment, chose to write a short story inspired by a tarot card. I pulled the deck out, and used a few of the cards to write my story. I began to see things in the images that I hadn't before, so I kept working my way through the deck, writing stories based on the cards. I ended up really connecting with the images, and now it is one of my favorite decks! I plan to do this again if I end up with another deck I can't quite connect with.
