This question was sparked by a thread I saw about tarot and children and it got me to think on what influenced me to go into tarot. I asked this because I was never raised in a tarot-friendly environment. We were Catholic and my parents and grandparents never got into it. My dad got into handwriting analysis and interpretation of dreams though and that was about it. I realized I got into Tarot more because I saw it on TV watching wizards and sorcerers and I was so amazed about the "power of being able to see through the pictures". As I grew up, my interest deepened and when I joined AT, it definitely made me clear that Tarot was something I wanted as a major part of my life.
I'm wondering about others ... I read that a number of ATers had grandparents and parents who also did Tarot, and that must be cool ... imagine inheriting all those vintage decks ... and others who didn't but sought to go into it... I hope you can share some of your experiences on this one. What influenced you to get into Tarot? Is it family? Media? Friends? Curiosity? A calling ... I'd love to hear exciting tidbits of your experiences.
