Every decent Tarot Card Reader/Angel Card Reader has a few favorite decks. The RADIANT Rider Waite Deck is my favorite deck and probably always will be. I guess I am slightly old-fashioned for preferring the endearing and memorable, easily identifiable imagery of the Classic Rider Waite deck of Tarot Cards. The Radiant part is that some additional images appear on various cards, and the colors are enhanced. I also like the shape, size and weight of the deck as well as the plastic coating that they seal the deck with. You see...all Decks are not created equally!
A few years ago I sat with a Card reader for what I assumed would be a Tarot reading. She used a deck I recognized as Spanish Playing cards. I call them "Bricas". They are sort of a midway between regular playing cards and Tarot. Their images on the Court cards was very tarot-esque, being they show cups and coins and sticks. There size, more like regular cards. Anyway....that was the woman who turned me from reading Angel Cards to reading Tarot cards more exclusively. I know you are dying to know why! I'll tell you.
My name is Angel (AngelMarie if you please)...and growing up with a name like Angel has not been easy. As an adult I strongly prefer AngelMarie, AM or Mrs. Carroll. My husband, close friends, mom and sisters/cousins call me Angel. No one else. Somewhere along the lines, I feel like I was brainwashed into the "Angel" mindset. I mean...I was a good person right? Angelic? Wouldn't want to ruin that image by say...gee, I don't know...identifying yourself as a witch? Well, what if I were both? Maybe my Mother was from a long line of witches and my father was a nephilim? Maybe he and she created a unique offspring, only one. Me. And maybe....just maybe....I am both Angel and Witch.
I was uncomfortable the day she told me I was a witch. She told me to stop using those Angel Cards (nothing wrong with Angel Cards, by the way...just not the right tool for me). She addressed my worst fears that day. It would take me months...maybe a year...before I could say it out loud and not feel like something was wrong with me. I am a witch. Am I an Angel? I don't know. But I am a witch. And Tarot cards are one of my favorite tools of divination. I teach everyone I meet. I teach them to use runes, tarot cards, crystals, oracle cards and more. I always encourage people to look inside themselves and use these tools for understanding their true nature, connecting with it...embracing it. Give yourself a big hug. You are special.
So it turns out that there is nothing actually scary about being a witch....being intuitive, clairaudient or clairsentient. Many of you may have heard of Clairvoyance....it's similar to that. I smell things a lot...hear them...feel them coming before others do. Sometimes something stops me dead in my tracks to alert me of danger or to whisper a message in my ear. Sometimes while people are talking to me I hear their words and their hidden thoughts both at the same time. I usually prefer being alone because having gifts like this makes me sometimes despise having to deal with other people. I truly appreciate the sincere, real, open...honest people. They are easy. Animals, children....easy. Them I love to be around all the time. They are a breath of fresh air.
Do you share my experiences in this way? Maybe you have gifts too. If so, what are you doing to learn how to work with those tools to have the best life ever? You can you know. You can even use those gifts to help you more easily navigate the toughest times in your life. You can channel, meditate...trust in your own true north. Be your own compass! How about manifestation? Would you like to manifest your desires? You can you know.
It all starts with being willing to hear the truth. Ask for your mentor. Ask for your tools. Meditate on this. If you need help, let me know. I love to teach.
