Tarot & Astrology

I’ve been to two “witchy” shops in my town and both of them sell tarot decks, but the only ones either of them stock are the knock-off small decks that you get from places like Temu, AND they charge regular deck prices for them.

It’s so aggravating and ruins all credibility of a shop, for me.

I feel like I heard or read someplace that your first tarot deck cannot be something you buy for yourself; someone has to gift it to you.

I would like a tarot deck; found a cute one at Five Below.

This is not to be an ungrateful harpy, but the fact is between some stuff (think several major geographic moves, a life-threatening & time consuming health issue, being the victim of a crime where I got slandered…)

I don’t have many close friends left and the few that are still around, they conveyed in a kind way that they’re uncomfortable hearing about anything supernatural/occult. I respect that.

Can I just buy myself a tarot deck; or must it really be a gift?

I don’t think this is the best-fit flair, but you guys don’t have a “miscellaneous” and it is Saturday…

The ones included in this are Charles Manson, Jim Jones, Marshall Applewhite, Rajnesh Osho, Warren Jeff, David Koresh, L Rob Hubbard, Adolfo Constanzo, David Berg, Joseph Di Mambro, Sun Myong Moon, Shoko Asahara, Luc Jouret and Valentina De Andrade. 14 of them. I took all planets into account, but excluded risings because I couldn't find the majority of their birth times, so it'd make for less accuracy to only include a few.

Pull a Card, consult book. Book definition vs intuition. Intuition vs the book plus conflicting sources online = wtaf do I listen to.

Is anyone else stuck on trusting their gut and throwing the book out the window?! Is this the same for everyone?! What other bloody hurdles are there and who is legit! 😅😔

Idk much about retrogrades or anything but lately I do feel like idk things have just been off?? I can't explain it. Like I just feel antisocial and like the world is slowing down or something. Is this just me?

This is my version of The Magician. As in the other cards in the deck, I wanted to move away from anything representing human or animals and try to make everything universal and iconic.

It took me a long time to figure out the imagery for this one, but in the end I found myself drawn to ancient cave paintings. It made me think of that innate human drive to explore the visions in our mind and make them real.

i’ve been reading up on my sag pluto in 1st and i’ve seen a lot of people being told they’re intimidating or are “extremely hated or loved” usually by first impression. but why is that?

Is this just a me thing? I will literally think about past arguments/discussions, or made up arguments/discussions and just fucking unload in my mind about what I said or would say. Just get it all out there and really pick it apart to find the root of my opinions and reactions to others opinions etc.

Do y'all do this? Think about what you'll say next time if it comes up again, because last time you got so irritated, you couldn't form a coherent thought, or you knew you WERE mad, but weren't exactly sure WHY, but now you know, so you lay there, staring at the ceiling going through the whole thing in your head, laying out exactly what you think, and exactly how you will express it next time.

Man, if I'm high and do this... one time I did it for soooo long, laid out flat on my back, legs straight, hands crossed over my chest. I had a moment where I thought "wait, am I dead?" 😂

I'm either very introspective, or very good at justifying my every thought, and coming to the conclusion that I'm nearly always right, if given long enough. 😅

But does that mean it's the latter? If I'm not introspective enough to know which it is 😱

Sorry. I'm high again, this is what I do!! Literally the behavior I'm asking about lmfao
