I love surveys! 1. What was your first experience with tarot Cards?
Edited to add: Well, actually my first ever experience was when I was 11 or 12. One of my best friend's cousin used to read them for 1 dollar in Junior HS. She kept talking about all of these boys "liking" me, lol. I just thought boys were icky @ the time , but it was true.
I went to get my cards read per my aunt's recommendation almost 10 years ago. I went to a "Botanica" where the Santero reads cards. He told me a lot of things he wouldn't know & without me saying a word to him. His predictions came to pass. During the reading he said I had a gift & that it may come from my mother's side of the family (true, creepy happenings as a child in the house & my grandma..& now this telepathy with my mother). After the reading I came the next day & bought my first Tarot deck - The Spanish Tarot.
I used to read with it, and the father of my kids didn't believe in it until after one day I guessed the question he asked just by interpreting the cards I drew. He was shocked, lol.
One day I threw it out because I got scared. I was pregnant with my first born - became a little paranoid.
2. Did any of you have them passed down?
Nope, I have always bought my own decks.
3. Where did you acquire your first deck?
Read above . A Botanica, but now I purchase most of my decks online. Even used ones (my Lenormand deck is used).
4. How many decks do you have?
More than 10
5. How do you bond with your tarot cards?
I have to like the images because if I don't, then I can't connect to them.
6. What's your sun sign, and where does it sit?
Virgo Sun - 7th house
