Handmade Tarot Deck

[Silver]

Thanks once again to you both! I mean, for me to try and swim in a sea of info out there with no compass would be well, I wouldn't even try it and I intend to. I find Tarot decks to choose from way too much choice. So maybe something more tactile like runes would suit me better. We'll see! Having too much to choose from distracts me so, I don't even make a decision. I've gone to the local book store, bought maybe 3 different decks, but none really felt like 'mine'. I've done readings on two people that were really happy with them using the decks I had, so I know I have a spark of a knack for it...

The set I had came in a velvet bag but any container would probably do, as long as you can shake them together _ like shuffling cards - before interpreting them. When you lay them in a spread or how ever you want to read them, again the choice is yours. I used to lay mine upside down so the symbols were hidden whilst I read each one. They are really similar to tarot cards in how you read with them, at least that what I discovered.

Ok! That's very helpful, Skye. Gives me some food for thought.

I understand how all the choices can make ones head spin Just use them as examples, pick or do what feels right for you...I preferred to make my own symbols as opposed to using the Futhark...if you are comfortable with the tarot symbols, maybe transfer that type of system to the runes you create, just a suggestion

Hey thx nightowl ~ every little bit helps, it surely does~*

I am really interested in making my own divination tools to use for intuitive readings too. I would love to find a set of symbols that really resonates with me - something earthy, perhaps Pagan or Native American. I thought about coming up with my own but I'm really not sure where to start. I will probably use bone, stone or wood. Any ideas would be great, especially in the symbol department.

It wouldn't hurt to make one set using all of those, make it unique / special ~*

I'm thinking I'll make my set a set of 13, always loved that number, lol.

Yeah Silvergirl that's what I was thinking - a combination of different symbols -it wouldn't be disrespectful or anything would it? Now I just need to come up with a list of appropriate words to trigger the intuition ie; love, growth, beginnings etc.... Actually, maybe that's all I need, a good list of words then I might be able to come up with my own symbols - I'm liking this idea more and more!!

Yeah and you're helping me out, too. We could choose to use chinese word symbols and mix it with others that seem to rez or go along with them.

Yeah, you go! Y'all got it!
