I was thinking we could have a topic where we would recall how was it like when we got our very first decks and how was it like reading with them.
I'll go first
I remember that prior to getting the Bohemian Gothic, I used to get a string of dark tarot cards, for some reason I was never attracted to Ryder, even though as a novice it would have been way easier for me to learn how to read with such a deck than with any Vampire and Goth one. At first, since I did not quite believe in tarot, I used to pull out jokingly one card each day to see how my day would go... but like I said at that time I never believed in tarot so I didnt give it much credence, and all the Vampire, Goth decks just sat there collecting dust and after a while I gave all of them away since I havent used them, until one day it all changed.
To note, the reason why I disliked and didnt want any cards is because I am a medium and I have decided that I dont want the'' gift'' a long time ago so I decided to supress it along with everything and anything occult.
A friend of mine from the US came to visit and said she had bought a Tarot deck, called the Bohemian Gothic but that she felt silly getting it and didnt know what to do with it and just kind of...gave it to me,and I didnt quite think much of it, except that when I got it in my hands and was left alone with it I left a sort of....pull,almost like a fixation.
I noticed that when I was alone in my room and I had the deck in the back of my mind, so one day I started pulling cards, the very next day I got some Tarot beginner books and soon the cards started talking to me. I first started reading for one friend and I was quiite shy,and she was my ginny pig and that expanded and expanded...and then I stumbled upon this site which helped me a LOt and basically opened a new doorway and love for Tarot that I never knew existed.
