Bowpeepnat
Hey its me bowpeepnat again! , i learnt alot from the " You in the tarot deck" thread i made, and i got alot of posts so thx to all of you who posted in ! and if u havent already, get posting! i read every single one! . Anyway ive made a new thread on a question that seems to spring up quite alot with my freinds.
What age should you start learning the tarot? and more to the point when did u start learning it and how did u come across the tarot! Ive read lots of authors stories which are rele exciting, but lets spread everyone elses! so heres mine...
There is alot of spiritual belief in my family,there are no sceptics. My grandmother reads the tarot for a living, and is one of the most interesting people i have ever met. She has been in circles, and different groups for many years and has told me many stories. If u like, i grew up listenign to them, and was absolutely fasinated. Stories of meeting spirits , and encounters shes had, and works she has done to help people cross over. With that in the back of my mind, i let my childhood take place as usual, with the little glimmer of hope that one day i might be able to contribute to the spirit world, or just have a little taster of somthing my nan spoke so highly of. Now at 15 years old after many experiances with spiritual encounters, i felt the need to begin my journey. My father about a year ago went through his second divorce, and was heartbroken, his wife had decided to leave him for her own reasons. With nowhere else to turn one day he informed me he had brought a tarot deck, and i asked why. He began to tell me about all his spiritual encounters he had as a child but dismissed them, and felt now, after his second failed marriage, he needed spiritual guidance. He began to learn it, and it had an amazing impact on my dad. he later joined meditation groups, soon to start a reiki healing course. I was so proud of my dad. Soon my little glimmer i had from years ago , that yearning to join in , came over me again. And soon i started to notice things, and ghostly things happened in our house, most of my family members encountering them too. My father noticed my keen interest in hearing about his tarot experiances and soon bought me my own. The Rider Waite tarot. I was over the moon. At 14 i was a little worried as to how a 14 year could possbly remmeber meanings for cards so indepth. My father taught me every saturday when i went to see him at his house. I never read a book, just learned the cards and their meanings through listening to my dad talk me through readings. And pretty soon i was well away!, now i know all the meanings, and have adopted using my sixth sense, and now read books for more knowledge!. This soon rubbed off on my mother and step father. I now teach my step father, and my mother, who is very good at psyrometry ? ( i think its spelt like that.) Now we are set to open a spiritual shop later on this year! and after i attend some classes, soon ill be doing tarot readings there!. So thats my story of how i came about the tarot. Now lets hear yours!
