Hi everyone
As its been a while since I picked up a deck, this past week or so has made me pick up my old decks, give them a shuffle (and some off to new homes!) and start to feel inspired by what tarot is and what it teachs us.
However, over these past few days also I have felt myself become bitten by one of the various factors as to why I put down my decks - because I get too involved.
I spent a lot of time studying decks like the Thoth, the Druidcraft and the various esoteric knowledge that goes with tarot - like astrology, kabbalah, numerology etc. I then wanted to start to follow courses in books like the Hallowquest course for the Arthurian tarot, or even say the course of readings through the Tarot Shadow Work book.
Now that I have picked up my decks again I feel all bogged down with all this information, all this knowledge and feeling that I have to (I know its probably of my own creation) bring it all into some sort of system, like Kabbalah or in a particular theme like the Arthurian legends for example. I just can't appreciate the tarot in that simplistic way that I used to and now its just causing me the same confusion that I had when I last left my decks.
Any help or stories from personal experience guys? I feel that this need to bring it all together into some big system thing is really causing me to not see the forest for the trees!
Much loves
